For most people, I'd recommend against putting a trailer hitch on a Kona. The hitch was fine if a bit tricky to install, but all of the trailer hitch noise seems to be transmitted directly into the cabin. I'm not exaggerating. I actually turn around to look and see if I had forgotten to close the hatch. The hitch is quite low, so you will probably have to take Hey 5 inch or more drop draw bar and turn it upside down to get your trailer level. I also started periodically getting an alert that the rear collision warning radar was blocked. It works okay in a pinch, but most Konas sold in the USA say not recommended for towing, so you total trailer weight should be car payload minus the weight of passengers and cargo in the cabin and on top if equipped with a rack. Payload on mine is 1069 pounds, At 260 pounds myself with a few tools in the rear and the weight of the trailer itself I can only put a couple hundred pounds on the trailer. With multiple passengers putting anything on the trailer would overload the vehicle. It would probably do it. Personally I would recommend against towing, and definitely recommend against if you have a model with a CVT. In the end you have to make your own decision, but I probably won't pull a trailer with mine again if there is any other option available.
This worked perfectly for my 2021 Kona Limited. It is a little tricky to install, but I was able to use the instructions that came with it to figure it out. Overall it probably took 1-2 hours. It was helpful to have a second person to help lift and hold it in place, otherwise I would try to use some blocks or jacks to help hold it up while positioning and feeding the fishwire through. One tip I will give is that once the carriage bolts are fed through both the frame tube and the plate on this receiver, I used another piece of wire to hold tension on the bolt while spinning the nut on. If you don't hold this the bolt could potentially be pushed back inside the frame tube and would be very difficult to fish back out. Overall it came quickly and had all the parts and instructions, and it wasn't too bad of an install! It works great to haul my bikes around!
Installation was troublesome, but their support gave me great tips to complete it.
Installed it on a '21 Kona Electric. Very heavy duty. Using it to carry bikes and a light trailer short distances to the hardware store.

When you buy a hitch for this reciever, buy a tall one bc it is closer to the ground, a little closer than I expected. A 1 riser isnt enough, choose something taller, maybe a 3.5 option. Im towing a Brenderup 1205S with 13 tires.

Not a problem. Rust free. Car has been great too.
I was originally sent the wrong hitch. A quick call to customer service fixed that issue. They sent me the correct hitch within a few days and made the process of sending the other one back simple. Install was extremely easy and the provided installation guide made things that much easier. We were able to take our small popup camper out and enjoy the first camp of the year. Needless to say, everything went off without a HITCH! (solid dad joke)

I am glad it all worked out for you! Haha we love a good dad joke on the team. Why did the bicycle fall over at the campsite?
This was exactly what I wanted and was so easy to install on my 2022 Kona
Thank you great service
