Hello Jim, thanks for reaching out. We do have one bike rack that can be used with recumbent bikes like your Bacchetta Bella. Take a look at the Swagman XC-Extended Bike Rack for 2 Recumbent Bikes # S64650-EXT. This has an attachment that allows it to work with recumbent bikes with wheelbases up to 69". Based on what I could see online, the Bacchetta Bella large has a wheelbase of 67", but please confirm that this is correct. As long as the wheelbase is less than 69" the # S64650-EXT will work great. It has a weight capacity of 35 lbs per bike which should be just enough for your Bacchetta Bella. Online it says they weigh 33 lbs, but again please confirm.
Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.

Hey Jim, did the Swagman XC-Extended rack end up fitting your Bacchetta Bella’s wheelbase the way you needed? Once you confirmed the measurements, I’m curious how the overall fit and support worked out. Your update could make it easier for others with long recumbent bikes to choose the right rack.
