Emtb bike rack

[gazza81]

Whats my cheapest option to carry a emtb on the back of my kia rio 2016?

Ideally I'll carry 2 bikes one electric one standard.

Would i need to get a tow bar fitted?

Tried google but getting a little confused

Thanks

Towbar mounted Cycle Racks.

The thread starts with insurance discussion but theres some comments later inc from me about my experience which unfortunately was 2 eBikes and a rack was too much weight - it would hit some speedbumps. I had checked the noseweight in advance and I was under the 60kg recommended for my car. I now use roof racks.

For you the weight will be less, but its worth checking the noseweight limit to be sure. You will need a towbar yes. As for cheapest well I personally wouldn't skimp on the carrier, I always choose Thule racks as though expensive they are the best.
