Since the trailer hitch receivers for your 2017 Subaru Impreza including the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # DT24959 you were looking at all have a tongue weight rating of 200lbs, you will need to make sure that the weight of the cargo carrier you use and the scooter does not exceed 200lbs.
Keep in mind that the # DT24959 is only confirmed to fit the 5-door wagon models with single exhaust, if you have a sedan I recommend the # 24960 instead.
For a light weight cargo carrier I recommend the 19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Steel - 300 lbs # C18110 as it only weighs 30lbs, leaving you 170lbs for the weight of your scooter.
I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
