LongBikeTote

[TransAm]

I'm looking for a 1.25" Class-1 trailer hitch rack for my V20. It fits inside my Honda Fit compact hatchback, but I have to take both wheels off, and putting the front drive wheel back on is a pain. So I would like to be able to transport the bike with the drive wheel on.

But the V20 is too long to fit behind a compact car with both wheels on. So I would like to take the rear non-drive wheel off. I'm looking for a fork mount carrier like on a roof rack, but on a hitch mount rack. Here is the only thing I have found so far:

Recumbent Bike Rack — Long Bike Tote

Does anyone else use this with a CruzBike?

But this only carries one bike. I would like to be able to mount a second DF bike as well. Hollywood Racks apparently made one for a 2" hitch, but it's no longer available.

Has anyone else found something like this, preferably from one of the more mainstream companies?

If you are looking for hitch bike rack for V20, you can just get a regular bike rack. I have Kuat NV 2.0 for my S40. Works well.

I have used this "wing" design to carry my V20's - on can carry 2 bikes. The wheels attach to and hang from a hook, then velcro makes everything nice and tight. Easy to take off to.

Ditto on the BikeWing. I use the previous generation and don't worry about a little hang-over, just don't clip anything.
I believe @TransAm wants to keep the bike within the 67" width of the Honda Fit, so having one wheel off could be done using an adjustable platform rack along with a fork mount bolted on.
Another consideration may be this hanging rack, with or without a fork mount:

This is an option

You can do this with add on modules that fit the Hollywood Trail Rider or Sport Rider bike racks .

You replace a Wheel basket assembly with these two parts.
Fork Mount Adapter
QUICK RELEASE FORK MOUNT

Don't be afraid to pick up a used rack.
racks are over built . ( not a bad thing)

Does anyone use a vertical rack like this:

Well I just got this, but it's not directly compatible with my V20. The extra weight of the boom twists the handlebars out of the hanger. I will need to make an extra boom bracket to get this to work.
