Question:

I need to get a bike rack or bike hitch set that will hold two bikes electric and I am at a loss as to how to make sure it will work. Willing to put on hitch and buy a bike carrier but also will and hopefully cheaper to just put on a bike rack carrier. is there any units that will fit this car that you know of? thank you in advance.

A hitch bike rack is going to be your only option. First, here are your hitch options. If you have a Sedan then you need # C11001. If you have the wagon you need # C11189 and if you have the coupe or convertible there is not a hitch available . All these options are a class 1 hitch.

When it comes to a 2 e-bike rack when using a class 1 hitch receiver, you only have one option and it's a great rack! It is extremely solid and can carry up to 60lbs per bike, fits in a 1-1/4" hitch and weighs just under 50lbs. The hitch options have a max tongue weight of 200lbs which will be fine for this set up!

The Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Platform Rack # TH23JV will work great for you! I've included some videos so you can install at home and get a good idea of how the bike rack works!
