What is the perfect car for traveling to events carrying the Easy Racer? I have a Chevy Avalanche and it would be great to hide the Easy Racer under the panels in the back somehow but these bikes are awfully long. I might have to sell the Chevy and get what? What car or truck best works for this?

Vehicle used to transport bike
I use a Nissan Frontier pickup truck with extended cab. I have a bar above the bed of the truck with two quick releases mounted to it so I can transport two bent bikes with the front wheels removed and tailgate down. Unfortunately this leaves the bikes exposed during travel and occasionally I get caught in the rain. Garbage bags wrapped and lashed to the seats keeps that portion dry.

Pretty hard to beat the minivan.
I use a Chrysler Town & Country. I can roll my Fold Rush right in there, fully assembled, and the faring on.
Everything is secure, and with the privacy glass, and a dark cover over the bike, mostly invisible.

I have a Sienna also. We used a hitch bike rack but like Joe said with the minivan "Everything is secure, and with the privacy glass, and a dark cover over the bike, mostly invisible."
In fact our two Tour Easy's are in it right now. We're heading down to Pacific Grove for 4 days of riding.
