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
