Question:

Hello, Im looking to purchase a trunk mount bike carrier for two 2 beach cruisers. My vehicle is a 2019 BMW 5 series 530i X drive, unfortunately Im too short for the roof rack and no hitch. I was wondering if your company can help me find something that will work. Kind regards,

My trunk bike rack recommendation is the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms, part # Y02634. The nice thing about this bike rack is that it can be locked to your 2019 BMW 5 Series and you can lock the bikes to the rack. Your beach cruisers will typically have curved top tubes, which can make loading them on a bike rack tricky. If your bikes do not have conventional top tubes, you will need top tube adapters. They go between the handle bar stem and the seat, creating a "faux" top tube. You will hang your bike from the top tube adapter on the bike rack. I am fond of the Swagman option, part # 64005.

I have included product description links and video review links below.
