I had an inch and a quarter (1-1/4") receiver installed on my Insight by HitchCrafters in Costa Mesa, CA. No electrics added since we're not going to pull a trailer.
They did a very clean job, and we put both bikes on our rack (Hollywood Pro Rider) for lots of out-of-town bike rides, i.e. centuries and double centuries.
Yes, it does mess up the aerodynamics to have the bikes back there, and our mpg goes down about 4 mpg. In our case these are both light road bikes, one with an aluminum frame, one titanium.
