Recommended Bike Racks for Recumbent Bike

Expert Reply:

We do not have a trunk mounted bike carrier that would work for your Recumbent Bike. We offer a few different hitch mount racks that would most likely work great for your bike. The Softride Versa Tilting and Folding 2 Bike Rack, part number SR26249 would be a great choice, assuming that the length of the bike measured from the far edge of the front tire to the far edge of the rear tire is not more than 80 inches. One of the best feature of this rack is that it will tilt to allow access to the rear of the vehicle, without having to remove the bikes. We also offer the Highland SportWing 2 Bike Rack, part number 5801200 which has cradles that the wheels hang from that adjust up to 46 inches apart. A wheel mount rack such as the Swagman XTC-2, part number S64670 might be a possibility as well. This rack can accomodate a bike with a wheelbase up to 66 inches. All of the racks that I have mentioned have a 2 bike capacity, but due to the seat width, would most likely only be able to carry 1 recumbent bike.
