    The Xport comes to mind.

    You can't beat it for the price. I have one.

    I also purchased a Yakima rack. Works great for my Strada and worked for my V Rex before I put fenders on it.

    Xport will still work with both bents. But it is not built like the Yakima. The Yakima is built like a TANK! But cost twice as much too!

    Thanxx for mentioning the website Red, I've added a LINK in your message for it.

    :update: Above website now seems to be out of business. :embarrassed9:

    However, I only saw one rack that looked like it would even fit a recumbent: The Pro Series Cycle Rack.(currently at $148) Is that what you purchased?

    Based on reviews here, I just bought my 3rd bike rack. This is the 1 up usa rack.

    https://www.1upusa.com/

    I can't say enough good stuff about this. Well built in USA. Incredible design and function. I am getting rid of my Swagman (it was under the Performance Xsport label when I bought it) and now my Yakima is now my second favorite rack. What I like most is that I can leave it on my SUV and still open the back door and park in my garage. The footprint is that small.

    Here is a video of this rack in action:

    :welcome: jmiley3! Carrying two trikes via a receiver hitch can be an expensive venture, as I know HITCHRIDER makes one to do so.

    Now to carry a trike or a bike via such a hitch, Mtwnrocket has a good post about such here.

    See this post for some other threads about carrying recumbents.
