I’m putting a hitch on my car so I can take my bike to some state parks in the Spring. UHaul will install a 2" or 1.25" hitch with or without a “hidden crossbar”. I know little about cars and towing.
How badly will I restrict my rack choice by opting for the cheaper 1.25"? I won’t be using this for anything but bikes.
Hmmm, that gives me something to think about, especially the part about the multi-bike carriers. Though I ride a Turbo Vado SL, which is very light (for an ebike). It would be nice to be able to throw a friends bike on the rack too. I think I’ll look for the rack and deal with the hitch afterwards as you suggested.
