At the moment there is not a solution that is going to allow you to carry your 3-wheel recumbent bike and standard bike on one rack.

That said, there are still options for though they may not be what you're wanting to do. For your recumbent trike, our only option is to use the SeaSucker Trike Rack for 1 Trike # 298-BD1005.

This rack will vacuum cup mount to your vehicle's roof, so there is no drilling or fit kits or anything else needed, and will provide you with a rack that is capable of handling one trike that weighs no more than 45-lbs.

If the vacuum cups worry you a bit, don't worry you're not alone. To put your mind at ease, check out the manufacturer demo I've attached showing off the cup strength.

As for your standard bike, a single bike rack like the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack # KU64FR will work just fine. This bike rack is compatible with both 1-1/4" and 2" trailer hitches, has a maximum 60-lbs weight capacity for one bike, and could even handle a fat tire bike with a maximum of 3" wide tires.
