Question:

Hi! I got a Chevrolet Bolt EUV 2022, 2 hitch installers dont want to install a 2 inch when I told her I want to install a Thule Elictric Bike carrier then bring 2 Electric Bikes, the reason they told me is because the hitch is attach only to the bumper plate and on the Bolt these bumper plate cannot support the vertical pressure cause by the bike support plus the two E Bikes, its about 170 pounds, plus the swing move, the bumper bracket doesnt resist so they can break! Do you know if there a 2 inch hitch to secure directly to the frame like nirmal trailer hitch?

The hitch we offer for your 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV is the Curt Trailer Hitch # C38DR which was tested to provide up to 300 lbs of tongue weight capacity and attaches behind the bumper which is reinforced.

I can understand your installer wanting to be cautious but this hitch would hold up just fine to 170 lbs of bike rack and bikes.
