If you are not transporting all 3 of the step-through bikes at the same time then you could use the HoldUp, # Y02443, which has a 2 bike capacity. Otherwise you would use the 4-bike version, # Y02443-2. As long as the bikes do not have fenders on the front tires then the bikes will fit just fine. Some bikes have short fenders that do not cover much of the top of the tire. That would work too.
To determine if the carrier will fit your vehicle there are a couple of measurements that need to be considered. Measure from the center of the hitch pin hole straight back to the distance required to clear the rear of the vehicle. If that distance is less than 12 inches the carrier will, less than 7 inches and it will fit folded up too.
Remember that the bikes handle bars and pedals will stick out some towards the vehicle. You will need to have a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver opening to use either of these carriers.
