- I can't say for sure if your bike's pedals will be an issue on the Saris SuperClamp EX # SA4025F because there really isn't a way to know without putting the bikes on it. The wheel trays do slide to help prevent contact however, they will be pretty close together and it could be an issue for you. Between the wheel scoops from center to center there is 8 inches.
You'll also need the Fat Tire Adapter # SA4419.
The SuperClamp EX has a max weight capacity of 60 pounds per bike, which is...
view full answer... - Will a Tour Easy Recumbent Bike Fit the Gordo Trunk Mount Bike Rack on a 2013 Ford C-Max
- The Hollywood Racks Gordo, # HRG2 has arms spaced further apart then most other racks (23 inches) making it the ideal candidate for a recumbent bike. The seat location should not be an issue on the Tour Easy bikes.
If your bike is within the 100 pound limit of the rack then you can use this rack on your 2013 Ford C-Max. However you will need to keep in mind a recumbent bike is going to stick out on the sides of the vehicle more than a regular bike. Keep this in mind when traveling.

- To connect your Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain Tow Bar # RM-522 to your 2017 Ford C-Max you'll need the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 524432-1 along with the crossbar # 910021-00 if you purchased your Falcon after they stopped including the crossbar.
You can use the Roadmaster Invisibrake # RM-8700, but I do want to warn you that the box has to be installed inside of your C-Max and with how small it is could potentially be quite a pain to install. You'll also need the Roadmaster...

- The 44" Rhino-Rack Fairing for Roof Racks # RRRF3 is what you need for the Euro-Style roof rack on your 2017 Ford C-Max. The clamps do look like they are designed better for aero-style crossbars but the clamps will fit round, square, and aero crossbars styles without any issues.
If you're interested in a different mount style I recommend checking out the Yakima WindShield Fairing for Roof Racks # Y05018 which secures using a strap-type system as opposed to clamps.

- One of the easiest ways to fix this is to use an adapter bar like the Swagman Frame Bar, part #64005. This is an easy to attach part that will attach below the seat and handlebars of the bike and allow it to ride parallel to the ground, minimizing the risk that the bike will hit the ground on a bump. You may need to ratchet the arms on the Thule Raceway Pro, part # TH9001PRO to raise it from the 2-3 inches you will lose in terms of height from riding it on its existing frame.

- Thanks for the picture!
Based on the location of the safety cable bracket it appears that you have the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 524432-1, but I do not see the actual arms in your picture. If you are missing the arms you can order replacements using # RM-ARMS and filling out the order form by clicking the instructions link.

view full answer... - Trailer Tow Hitch for a 2014 Ford C-Max Energi
- Curt lists Class II, 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch # C12092 as a fit for all models of the 2014 Ford C-Max so that would include Energi models. I spoke with my contact at Curt and he said yes, it does fit all models.
Since you will be using the hitch for a non-trailer load (bike rack) in order to be in compliance with Curt's warranty requirements you will need to use stabilization strap # 18050 with the bike rack.

- I checked the owner's manual and on page 182 saw that the powertrain is not designed for towing and that you should never tow a trailer with your 2014 Ford C-Max. I cannot recommend a hitch that would allow you to tow. We do offer trailer hitches that are designed to fit your vehicle but those are intended to be used with accessories like bike carriers or cargo carriers and not intended to be used for towing.
The hitch we offer for your C-Max is the Curt, part # C12092. This is a Class...

- The Thule OutWay PRO # THJV45 is the best trunk mount bike rack for you. It locks to your 2013 Ford C-Max and the bikes will lock to the rack. It connects to your car using 2 retractable cables and secures the bikes at 3 points.
Another option, that may be better since you're going to be driving that far, is to get a trailer hitch receiver for your C-Max and use a hitch mounted bike rack. A hitch mounted rack will be much more stable than the trunk mount and will not make any contact...

These are both great hitches, the Curt hitch has a warranty requirement of using a support strap # 18050 when using a bike rack. If you don't care to bother with this, then the EcoHitch Hidden would be a better choice. I linked an install video for the Curt hitch.
