Question:
I have a Toyota Prius 2014. I want to tow 50cc scooters that weight 200lbs each on a trailer. What hitch and trailer do you have that would meet my needs? Thanks

You'd first want to equip your Prius for towing by installing a trailer hitch. I'd recommend the Draw-Tite Class I trailer hitch, part # 24847. For a trailer wiring harness, use part # C56147. You'll also need a drawbar, part # 3594 and the appropriately sized trailer ball. For a 1-7/8 inch ball, use # 19256 or for a 2 inch ball, use # 19258.
Keep in mind that Toyota didn't recommend using certain Prius model years for towing, so you'll want to consult your owner's manual for clarification.
Part # K2MMT5X7 would work well for transporting your scooters. I'd recommend adding some # TWSPWC3BT wheel chocks which accommodate tires up to 6-1/2 inches wide and two sets of tie down straps like # EM05710. Let's go Aero also offers tie down anchors, part # MMP543 that fit into the integrated side tracks of the trailer.
I've linked you to install videos for the hitch and the trailer wiring. I've also linked to a demonstration video for the trailer I recommended.
