I have attached a link to a product review video for this bike carrier you can take a look at.

view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2010 Honda Insight
- For your 2010 Honda Insight I would recommend the CURT Class I Trailer Hitch, item # 11051, and a two bike rack like the Swagman XC2 Wheel Mount Bike Rack, item # S64650.
The only hitch available for the Insight is a Class I hitch and the weight capacity of Class I hitches will not allow for carrying more than two bikes. Putting bikes on a rack farther out than where two bikes will fit can cause too much torque on the hitch or vehicle frame causing damage. There are no 4 bike racks recommended...

- You would be able to use the Blue Ox Adapter Brackets # BX88151 along with your Roadmaster Sterling tow bar.
As for supplemental braking, it is not a nicety, it is required by law in most states and is something I would strongly recommend even if it wasn't. Towing a car is something you want to ensure you have done everything you can for your safety and the safety of others on the road and a braking system is a major part of that. I recommend the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251, which...

- Yes, the Thule Passage 2 trunk mount bike rack # TH910XT will fit your 2011 Honda Insight. The adapter is recommended so that you can carry the bike more level and have better ground clearance. It also makes it easier to mount the bikes.
I have to use 2 of adapter # TH982XT and without them my wifes bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my sons bike at all. I have linked a video review of the rack and a video showing how the adapter works.

- I do have a solution for you, however, there is not a receiver hitch available for your 2020 Honda Insight.
We do offer the trunk mounted Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack # SA805BL for your vehicle. However, this bike rack is limited to 35lbs per bike (all trunk mounted racks have this 35lb capacity), and your ebike likely weighs more than that. You could remove the batteries from your bikes when transporting and this would lower the weight, possibly under 35lbs each depending on the weight of...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch Mount Bike Rack for 2011 Honda Insight
- The trailer hitch receiver we have to fit your 2011 Honda Insight is the Curt # C11051. Curt does require using a support strap when you're using a bike rack with this hitch. The strap is # 18050. Unfortunately, it doesn't matter what rack you're carrying the strap is still required.
The Swagman XC # S64650 is a great choice for a rack. It's extremely popular and has great reviews. The only thing I would suggest you consider is a folding rack. This way you would be able to access...

Curt also says you have to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for any non-trailer load (such...
