I have a possible bike rack solution for you. Unfortunately, since the per-bike weight capacity of the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 # HR1450Z is only 50 pounds per-bike, you will not be able to use them with your bikes of they are about 90 pounds each. However, if you mean that the 2 bikes will weigh about 90 pounds total, this rack will work if each bike does not exceed 50 pounds. If your bikes weigh about 90 pounds each, we unfortunately do not have a bike rack that holds that amount of weight here at etrailer.com.

Another thing to consider is the available hitches for your vehicle. We do have a compatible hitch whether you have a hatchback or a sedan: Curt Hitch 1-1/4" # C11567 (hatchback) and the Curt Hitch 1-1/4" # C34UR (sedan). These are the only options we currently carry. If you use one of these hitches on your 2022 Toyota Corolla Hybrid, you will not be able to use the # HR1450Z because it is only compatible with 2-inch hitches. For a bike rack that will be compatible with a 1-1/4" hitch, I recommend the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # TH903202. This rack has a 65-pound per bike weight capacity, and it will fit a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver.

One thing to consider about both the Curt Hitch 1-1/4" # C11567 (hatchback) and the Curt Hitch 1-1/4" # C34UR (sedan) is that they only can hold up to a maximum tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds. This means that the combined weight of the bikes and the 37 pound weight of the Sport Rider cannot exceed 200 pounds. I recommend also confirming with your vehicle's owner's manual to make sure that your 2022 Toyota Corolla can safely transport that much weight.

If you have bikes that are step-thru frames, women's bikes frames, or children's bikes, I recommend purchasing the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar # 64005. With this adapter bar, your bikes will have a straight, horizontal plane that is required to attach to the Sport Rider.
