Question:

Does the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes work with 2017 Prius V? My e-bikes are step-throughs and have front fenders

Expert Reply:

If your 2017 Prius v has a class 2 2" hitch like EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III - 2" # 306-X7192, then you can indeed use the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # HLY84FR. This attaches to the bikes via the frame, so it works well for step-through bikes with fenders.

If you actually have a 1-1/4" hitch receiver like Curt Class I - 1-1/4" # C11276, then you'll need to find another bike rack option that works with class 1 1-1/4" receivers. For this, your options are very limited in regard to carrying ebikes since they weigh a lot, so your best bet is to use the very nice Thule Epos Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Wheel or Frame Mount # TH99XE. Given the cost of this setup, you may opt to install a 2" receiver which allows for many more accessories as you can see.
