Recommended Trunk-Mount Bike Rack for 2013 Toyota RAV4 to Carry Biria Easy Boarding Bike
Question:
I am wanting to find a bike rack for my Biria Easy Boarding bike that will fit on my 2013 Rav 4. I do not currently have a trailer hitch on the car, so was hoping for a trunk mount option. Please advise. Thanks,

We can help you with a trunk-mount bike carrier for your that can carry your Biria Easy Boarding step-through-frame bike.
For a cost-effective 2-bike trunk rack I suggest the Thule Passage 2 # TH910XT for its light weight and cushioned anti-sway cradles. If you prefer a nicer rack that includes locks you can consider their GateWay 2-Bike Rack # TH45JV which uses an advanced attachment system that is easier to install; it also includes locks for the rack itself and for your loaded bike.
Either way, due to the nature of your bike's frame design (no top tube) you will need a bike adapter bar like # UB01. This bar connects between the seat post and handlebar stem to provide a substitute for that top frame tube. The adapter will mate with the rack's arms to hold your bike securely for travel.
