Anyone figure out a way for a bike rack to fit on GV80???
Doesn't seem there are options out there and prefer not to have to install a whole hitch.
thanks

They do sell them that mount on your roof racks, but I have not seen one for the back that does not use a trailer or bike hitch. But keep looking, there might be some out there.

The problem with bike roof racks is you have to lift the bike up there and risk scratching your vehicle doing it.

I would generally suggest the hitch rack - it's the least likely to scratch your gorgeous vehicle and then you can tow a U-Haul if needed sometime.

I installed a hitch and a Thule EasyFold hitch for our E-Bikes. It works well and the hitch is visible but does not distract from the good looks of the vehicle.

I took my GV80 to a hitch installer - I have a Curt hitch and a Kuat bike rack - very happy with how it turned out. Dealership estimates for installation and the hitch were outrageous, take it to a hitch installer. The rear collision system has to be turned off when going in reverse which is a pain, but otherwise a great rig.

I agree with that solution. I also priced out a hitch at the dealer, and all-in it was about $1K. Ridiculous.
Went to a local trailer place and they installed a Curt hitch for $289, including labor.
I use it for my bike rack and also for a Black Widow scooter rack.

I had the same thing done. Add/remove the bike rack when needed. Very happy with it and does not take anything away from the look of the car.

Luckily my GV80 came with a dealer-installed 2" hitch (Genesis of Brooklyn). I ordered a bike rack from 1up in Wisconsin - the Quick Rack Single.... The nice thing about this rack is that you can tip it upward when its not being used, but I can also remove it in about 30 seconds. The mount is very solid and its very well-made. When its folded, its quite small and easily fits in the back of the car.

Why don't you want to have one installed. A hitch mounted bike rack is by far the best way to carry a bike (s). If you don't like how it looks, my stealth makes one that can be hidden.
