E-Bike Rack and Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Prius and Stromer ST1 E-Bike
Question:
What is recommended for a 2017 Prius carrying a 60 Pound Stromer ST1 Ebike? From your website it appears the rack must be a platform. Rack weights seem to vary and I would prefer the lightest possible platform. The Prius will have a 1-1/4 receiver. Thank you.

Expert Reply:
You'd need a hitch installed on your 2017 Toyota Prius first, which for that the Draw Tite part # 24966 is the way to go as it does not require a stabilizer strap like the Curt does. Then for an E-bike rack that would work well the Thule EasyFold part # TH903202 would be your best option.
It has a 65 lb capacity and comes with a loading ramp to make loading the bike easier.
