Expert Reply:
The Kuat NV 2.0 Base 2-Bike Platform Rack part # BA12B weighs 49 lbs. The weight of this rack and the weight of your bikes cannot exceed the tongue weight capacity of the vehicle. For example, if the bikes weigh 57 lbs each then your total tongue weight is 163 lbs. The tongue weight capacity of class I hitch is 200 lbs so as long as the vehicle is not rated lower, you'll be good to go.
Please note, the Kuat NV 2.0 Base 2-Bike Platform Rack is a wheel mount rack so it's not compatible with bikes that have fenders. If you do have fenders you'll instead want to go with the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes part # TH903202.
