Default Aftermarket Tailgate Bike Rack?

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a decent tailgate fitted bike rack - to carry 3 bikes - which doesn't obsure lights/number plates and so doesn't require the use of a light board?

I'm looking for a budget rack as it will only be used occasionally.

Many thanks.

I'm not aware of any tailgate mounted bike racks that don't legally require the use of a light board. My wife got done a few years back for using one.

Best bet is a roof mounted one if you don't have a towbar.
