Ramp patio

I'd like to use my ramp as a patio. Is it safe to just put some jacks under the rubber bumpers? I load 980lbs bikes with that ramp so it should hold 3 or 4 adults, no?

The ramps that come from the factory, with the patio option, is rated for 1500 pounds when used as a patio. The patio/ramp door has a sheet of metal covering the plywood to aid in support as a patio.

if you can find the structure you should be fine. Like you said heavy bikes roll up it supported only by the lip/bumpers and the hinge. You should be fine for 3-4 adults, as long as they're "normal" size.

I think if I was going to do that I'd run a 2x with carpet or something on it to prevent scratching, across the door from one jack to another just to give the middle a little support. I would also run it across about 2ft or so from the end and not all the way out to the rubber bumpers.
