Typically, recumbents have longer wheelbases than standard bikes, so you'd need to go with a bike rack designed for that like the Saris Freedom Bike Rack for 2 Recumbents Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Item # SA4412B-R. This rack will accommodate wheelbases up to 57" and tire widths up to 3".
