For recumbent bikes, we have the Swagman XC-Extended Platform-Style 2 Bike Carrier for 1-1/4 and 2 Inch Hitches, part # S64650-EXT. The Swagman XC has extended wheel platforms to accommodate bikes with a longer wheelbase such as recumbent bikes. Part # S64650-EXT is designed to fit 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch hitches and can also be folded up while attached to the vehicle when it is not in use.
Part # S64650-EXT can accommodate bikes with a wheel base of up to 66 inches when using the silver wheel mounts. You will want to make sure not to exceed the tongue weight capacity of your vehicle and hitch when carrying part # S64650-EXT and your bikes. The Swagman XC has a maximum weight carrying capacity of 70 pounds.
I researched the Sun Recumbent bikes and found that the Recumbent bikes weigh between 30 and 45 pounds. You will want to weigh your Sun Recumbent bikes or check your owners manual to find the weight of your bikes.
Also, I checked the hitches available for your 2005 Volkswagen Passat and found that there is only Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitches available for your vehicle which have a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds.
I have linked instructions for the Swagman XC-Extended Platform-Style 2 Bike Carrier, part # S64650-EXT.
