We needed a way to carry our tandem with the Pod so I came up with a tongue mounted version. You can buy ready made units but they are EXPENSIVE! I had to reroute the propane line which was pretty easy using a propane extension hose I got from Menards. The bike and rack add about 65 lbs to the tongue weight but still well within the 400 lbs limit on my Jeep Grand Cherokee. I used half of a lock hasp as an anchor point to tie the handlebar secure to the Pod. This is brand new and untested. We're making our first trip with it this weekend. |

Should work.. I have never been a fan of my bikes on the back of the pod.. we carry in the truck bed, our Bike Friday tandem fits great, the CoMotion is a tighter fit.. But it fits. LOL
