Question:
I think the Hollywood E Destination might be the best solution for transporting my Aventon Level 2 with my 2013 Scion XB. Using the 1 1/4 Curt hitch and an adapter. I am concerned that adding an adapter will increase the space between the car and the rack, and result is shifting more weight toward the back which might be unsafe. What are your thoughts, please?

Expert Reply:
I do see your Aventon Level 2 bike has a weight of 54lbs. Since you are using the Curt Receiver # C12490 on your 2013 Scion xB and being a 1-1/4" receiver I recommend the Yakima OnRamp # Y28DJ as it can support bikes up to 66lbs each and has a ramp for ease loading. Using an Adapter # e43YR with the Rack # HLY66ZR not only moves it further back causing more of a lever effect on the weight but do remember the extra length is also going to have an effect on the departure angle which means it is more likely to drag on steep driveways and tall curbs.
