I saw this on an Instagram ad and wondered why I never thought of it. One side is a normal bike ramp and the other side has treads like a step stool. I ordered one on Monday and it was delivered by Friday. Prefect for wet days with muddy boots. Unfortunately I don't have any connection to this company (wish I did), but this may be the perfect ramp. Two sizes, one for taller trucks.. Even has a latch and a handle.

Those type of ramps have been around for a long time. They are great!

If you want to load two bikes, what do you do for the bike on the left?

That thing looks trick, but a little cumbersome to store in the truck if you're already packed tight. I use a Ready Ramp that doubles as a bed extender with my tailgate down. It increases my storage capacity, I don't need a place to store it and it's wide enough to ride my bike into the bed of my truck...as long as I have about 15 yards to get my speed up in a stabilized straight line, so-to-speak. lol.

Looks great if everything goes great. Those gaps seem a little big to me though. One slip though and eeehck Pinch

I can easily see trying to run up it and either missing a step, or slipping off the trailing edge of one of those steps. That would result in a lot of pain. For the clumsy people like myself, that thing would cause a lot of pain Shocked

That being said, for people who can walk and chew gum at the same time, the design is nice and compact and looks great.

Why does the load height on 2wd pickups keep getting higher? Why do we need a flight of stairs to get in the damn things?

I run a ReadyRamp that I’ve had for probably 15 years. I love that thing. I’ve since switched trucks and lost the clips to make it a tailgate extender... but it’s still a great ramp.

I'm tall enough I just get a rolling start and by the time the bike hits the ramp I'm not even pushing.....I take my right hand off the bars and guide it in holding the gas cap.

Hey y'all, I'm actually the marketing director/GM for Step Ramp. Appreciate the kind words! Just thought I'd pop in to see if anyone had any questions about the ramp.

Cheers!

Do you make one that works with street bikes? I have a ninja 400 with a race fairing, It sits a little lower than stock. I've used a friends street bike ramp but it's still a pain to load.

Good question! We don't currently make one specifically for street bikes. I know a few people with lower pickups using our 82" ramp, but we worry too much about clearance to endorse it. Our recommendation for the time being is to seek out one of our dealers and ask them to demo one. If you are in the Phoenix area, AEO Powersports in Mesa should have some in stock. Star Island Motorsports in Prescott Valley is another option if you're up there.

Seriously hard to get rid of my Ranger for this reason. I'm short. With my Ranger I don't need a big step. I can reach the middle of the truck bed from just about any side of the bed. I wish they kept making super small pickups like the Ranger.

@Holigan , possibly this pic is deceiving but is the incline steep enough that it's hard to push up the incline?  Is the one in your pic the short or longer one?  I've been thinking about one of these.

That is the longer one, on the back of a F150 4x4. Not to steep, one person can load without help.

Am I the only one who walks along side the bike with it running in 1st gear so the bike climbs the ramp itself? Bikes are pretty good at climbing hills, let it do the work for you! Even easier if you’re running an auto-clutch. 

That looks like a great ramp, the steps are brilliant. I’m using a harbor freight aluminum quad ramp, it’s pretty good but it’s hard to keep a solid footing on the thing.

These ramps are legit. Wish I would’ve bought one years ago.

ReadyRamp sells replacement hardware packs that include the straps.

This picture is a bit deceptive. Maybe the angle of the picture or a lifted truck? We have the longer step ramp on my stock f150 and it’s not that steep at all. I’ve spent a ton of money on this sport over the years. These ramps are some of the best money I’ve spent.
