We have a great bike carrier that will work for your Sun Beach Cruiser bike.

I did some research and found that your bike comes with 26 inch tires that are 3.5 inches wide and it has a wheelbase of 46.2 inches. With those dimensions it does limit what bike carriers will work for you.

I recommend The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider, part # HR1450Z-FB. This bike rack folds up when not in use, and tilts away from the vehicle when loaded for access to the rear cargo area. This carrier can handle bikes with a wheelbase up to 60 inches and bike tires p to 5 inches wide. This carrier has a 7 inch rise in the shank that will provide more ground clearance for you. This carrier also has bike locks to secure the bikes to the rack and a hitch lock to help deter theft.
