roo rdk21

while I know that the frame of the roo is not designed for a bike rack, it seems to me that a 1" receiver would be able to mount to the top of the rear scissor leveling support plate. the bumper could be used to support this 1" receiver with u bolts similar to the ones used on the spare tire rack. most bike racks don't need a 2 " receiver. i've read that some hybrid owners have made a bike rack work for them with out compromising the integrity of the frame. id really like to know what you guys have used to accomplish this. I work at a power plant so I have access to plenty of hardware and materials, thanks

People will tell you it will void your warranty; if this bothers you.

I had a similar receiver put on my Mini Lite.

This subject will get you a LOT of responses about not doing it. Be prepared.

They make bike racks that mount on the spare tire.

Not a good idea on a hybrid's spare tire.[emoji79]
