To carry your Easy Sport Recumbent using the hitch on your 2005 Lexus RX330, I would recommend the Swagman XC Extended Bike Rack # S64650-EXT. This rack is an extended version designed to accommodate Recumbent bike. The Swagman # S64650-EXT will accommodate bikes with a wheel base of up to 66 inches and my research shows that the EZ-Sport recumbent bike has a wheel base of 62 inches. The weight capacity of this rack is 80 lbs.
To determine if your bike will fit the rack, you will need to measure from front axle to the rear axle. Or measure from where the front tire touches the ground to where the rear tire touches the ground.
The Swagman EXT rack will fit 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch receivers. You will need a 2 inch hitch on your RX330, like the Draw-Tite # 75153, if you do not already have a hitch installed.
You will want to make sure not to exceed the tongue weight capacity of your hitch or vehicle as stated in the vehicle owners manual. The weight of the bike rack, plus the weight of the bikes is considered tongue weight.
