I have a great bike rack solution for you. Unfortunately, we do not currently have a hitch that will fit your EV model of 2021 Kia Niro. However, a great alternative solution is a trunk rack.

For that route, I recommend the Thule OutWay 2 # TH45JV or the Thule OutWay 3 # TH56BV. Both OutWay racks have a 33-pound per-bike weight capacity and comes with one-key system locks to deter the theft of your bikes from the rack as well as the rack from your vehicle. If you have bikes that have step-thru frames, womens-style frames, or children's frames, you will need the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar # 64005 in order to mount each of those bikes to the OutWay's arms.
