Question:

Does this model need an adapter to carry a women’s bike.?

Expert Reply:

Its highly likely that the Swagman XC-Extended, part # S64650-EXT will need an adapter for a women's bike like part # 64005. This is true of most frame mount bike racks, as the curved, sloping frames of Women's bikes are difficult to get the frame clamps to connect with.

I have a Momentum e-bike with an easy on/off entry, similar to a female frame. It weighs 55lbs and my wife has the Terra Trike Evo recumbent. What options are available to transport so there is no wobble? Our hitch is a 2inch receiver. Thank you for your suggestions. Have a great day.

@Peter We have plenty of solutions for the Momentum e-bike, but the style of your wife's Terra Trike Evo recumbent is unfortunately something we don't have a solution for anymore. We used to have some Hollywood Racks bike racks that could carry that bike though, so I recommend trying to find one of those solutions used on a marketplace or some type of buy-sell system.
