EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver On A 2017 Kia Soul EV  

Published 11/02/2020

Question:

I saw that you were interested in how I plan to use the hitch. Well, it won’t be towing a camping trailer :). I’m interested in purchasing a bike rack for it. I have an e-bike that weighs about 70 lbs with all the gear on it and I would like to rack my son’s bike as well and it probably weighs 10-15 lbs.

The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7326 is confirmed to fit your 2017 Kia Soul EV and will make a great addition on your vehicle. I attached the installation video on a 2017 Kia Soul for you to take a look at.

If you can tell me what you are planning on using your trailer hitch receiver for I'd be happy to recommend accessories that fit your needs.

For carrying the two bikes you mentioned I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HLY84FR. The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR allows enough clearance to be able to fold up on your 2017 Kia Soul, and offers a weight capacity of 80lbs per bike for your electric bike, and will still fit your son's bike. The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR weighs 54 lbs, and when you add the weight of your two bikes will be around 140lbs loaded which is well under that 300lb tongue weight maximum of your EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch # 306-X7326. I attached the review video for the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR for you to take a look at.
