Question:

Will this work with the Swagman XC4 RACK also?

Hi Bob; the question you're referencing said that there is no way to adapt the Swagman XC2 to carry a trike. This is true for your XC4 bike rack as well. The best option would be to get the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 1 Electric Trike and 1 Electric Bike # HLY87RR.

If you need to carry 4 other bikes with your existing bike rack along with the trike, the only real option would be the SeaSucker Trike Rack for 1 Trike # 298-BD1005. This will allow you to mount it to the roof and keep your hitch free for your XC4.

I would want just 3 other bikes pluss the trike on the xc4 rack. Any ideas?

@BobT even with 3 other bikes and the trike the SeaSucker is the only carrier we have that would allow it. I don't know of any company that makes a bike rack that can handle a trike plus 3 bikes. I highly doubt anyone makes one beyond a single bike and trike like the Hollywood Racks because the trike is basically taking up the space of 3 bikes. If you don't want to add it to the roof using the SeaSucker your best option would be to get a small trailer. You could bolt some fork mounts on like the Yakima Locking BlockHead # Y01118 to secure the bikes.
