You'll only be able to secure two bikes to a hitch-mounted rack on your HR-V. This is because all of the trailer hitches available for this vehicle are Class I rated, which can only safely handle 2 bikes (loading more could lead to damage on the hitch and vehicle). You will need to secure your other two bikes somewhere else, such as on the HR-V's roof. I've linked our full roof rack selection for your vehicle below.

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…
