Question:

I drive a Honda HR-v and my husband and I each have electra townie 21s. We currently use a Saris Bones 2 rack with the adaptor for the womens bike, but are looking to change to a platform rack. I would like one that is light enough for me to take on and off without help, so hopefully no more than 30ish pounds. Would a Swagman or Kuat Sherpa 2 fit my bikes and my car?

For your Electra Townie 21S bikes, the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" Hitches - Tilting - Aluminum - Gray # SH12G is your best option for the support and functions and weighs just 32 lbs. It includes the bike locks and hitch lock to secure your investment. The bike rack is aluminum so it is lightweight and rustproof. It also has a nice anodize finish.

This rack also comes in pearl # SH12P and black # SH12B. These bike rack options will work well with your Honda HR-V.
