Would they fit side by side in the bed? If answer is yes I would not fuck with motorcycle carrier. I'd imagine securing hitch mounted one to prevent unwanted movement is PITA. Also, if you keep one bike in the bed and another one on carrier, and you happen to want to use one in the bed you would have to remove one on carrier, etc. anyway. Too much work. So, I would, if that is possible, load motorcycles on the bed.

Broccoli might be something to try. I can't eat raw broccoli (makes me want to gag) except when dipped in something. As far as "normal", I've never been accused of that. 🙂

Hmmm. Edit to be clear: It's a ramp and bed extender. $230 and out of stock for now.

Absolutely no on a trailer, and I should have been more clear that I will carry the XR for sure, the Zero maybe, and never both. Just one at a time. There will not be a trailer in my life again, period.

Trailer would be my first choice as well as long there is convenient place to store it. I know it is EV so range reduction when towing could be a bitch but Rivian punches much bigger hole in the air vs. Tesla 3, it should be almost none issue in case of small trailer. My little utility 5x8 trailer has tilted bed, I don't even fuck with the ramp. No ramps. Wheel chuck in the nose, couple straps, and, boom, ready to roll. About 20 % mpg drop, but I tow with Volvo XC70, essentially lifted station wagon. Not much of frontal area.

I saw this at COTA, Know Rick used similar for his bikes at Jennings a couple times in the past.

Same conundrum for me, except the bed is out (Excursion, and that's MY bed). A hitch hauler was nearly perfect for what I did for a long time, even with the 990ADV. But now there are at least two bikes. The self-leveling would be an amazing benefit whichever way you go. But Tom makes the likely accurate observation that no matter which one is on the carrier, it's the other one you'll want to use. You'll be motherfucking that choice every time you have to drop the hitch hauler bike to get to the one in the bed. Rivian may not have a place at the table yet in terms of aftermarket support, but there are those bed extenders that double as a ramp and work pretty well. I may actually have one from a GMC if you want to try to retrofit it. Final answer though - I'm with Tim. Though it is an additional piece of equipment to register, maintain, store, etc... it's just the best answer. I'm slowly coming around to it myself, and it's painful because I like a simple, self-contained one-piece unit. But it isn't simple anymore (or... again). And that's okay, the benefits largely outweigh the negatives, just have to adapt.

A carrier would probably be easiest and possibly most aerodynamic if it's low enough, but probably limited to one unless you make something. To carry both I'd say bed, or maybe the zero in the bed and XR on a carrier.

Motorcycle trailer. At least for the Zero.

I have a motorcycle trailer for sale. Put one in the bed and one on the trailer.

I wonder if some of the float are stuck in the up position not letting the fuel fill the bowls? Make sure you are working with a strong battery because even though it is turning over, I have found that my bikes get harder to start when the battery gets weak.
