Hey David, the Curt hitch part # C13410 is a great option for a hitch for your 2015 Subaru Outback. It is mostly hidden so its easier on the eyes, install is no problem for a mechanic, and it would work great for a bike rack for an e-bike like you are needing.

For a bike rack the EasyFold XT part # TH903202 is a really great option as well. It's not super heavy, it folds up for storage and easier isntall/removal, and it has a ramp that pulls out for easier loading/unloading.

The Curt #C13410 and Draw-tite #76227 are very similar in design and both have the same weight ratings of 600lbs tongue weight and 4,000lbs of trailer weight. I do like that Draw-Tite does add the additional plate of steel in between the hangers that…

Both the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver #75673 and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #C13206 will require drilling to install on your 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon. It is only a 1-1/8" access hole though so it is pretty minimal. The reason…
