Hitch Bike Rack Recommendations for Men and Womens Electra Cruiser Bikes
Question:
Will the kuat beta work for my electra cruiser? I have a toyota tundra crew max and am looking for a way to carry my bike. Thanks

The Electra Cruiser bicycles have very interesting frame designs. If you have the women's version of the bike you can use a hanging bike rack like the Kuat Beta part # B202-2 but will require the use of the adapter bar part # 64005 as well. This adapter will span the distance between the steering stem and the seat post to allow the bike rack to be carried level. Check out the review video I attached.
If you have the men's bike, it has such a high bend in the top frame tube that you would instead have to use a platform bike that uses a frame mount like part # S64670. A wheel mount platform bike rack wouldn't work on this bike since the bikes have fenders.
