Curt 2 Bike Platform C18085 and Malone RunWay 2-Bike MPG2149 Through Bike Compatibility
Question:
Will both of these racks C18085 and MPG2149 hold the step-through frame type bike as shown in the attached picture blue bike in foreground? Both of these racks appear to have virtually identical features. Is one better than the other and if so, why?

Helpful Expert Reply:
Both the Curt 2 # C18085 and the Malone RunWay 2 # MPG2149 will work with a step through bike like yours but you will need to get an adapter bar like the Rhino-Rack Bike Frame Adapter Bar # RRRBCA021. This will just go in between your handle bars and your seat! Both are pretty much that same thing but if it were me, I would get the Curt 2 just because it can fold in half for better storage and/or to unblock tailights.
I've included a video to help show you how they work!
