Expert Reply:

For your 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C23FR. This hitch has a simple bolt-on installation with all necessary hardware included. Curt's gloss black powder coat finish over protective base coat is known to last longer than that of its competitors offering a superior rust resistance for a long lifespan.

For your Lectric XP Step-Thru 2.0 E-Bike I recommend the Lets Go Aero V-Lectric FAT PRO Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # LGA77FR. This bike rack has a 75lb per bike weight capacity and is rated for use on all vehicles/RV's. No more precariously mounted bikes with this V-shaped, wheel-mount design which ensures level transportation of most bikes, regardless of size and frame style. The support arms hold bikes by the wheels and prevent frame or fork contact. Cushioned pads prevent scratches from bike-to-rack contact and no adapter bar will be needed for women's, children's, and alternative frame bikes like your step-thru design. 2 Anti-rattle hitch pins prevent wobbling and noise in trailer hitch receiver and keyed-alike locks deter theft of your bikes and the rack.
