Expert Reply:
The hitch itself, # C11256, has a towing capacity of 2000 lbs and a tongue weight capacity (maximum amount of downward force hitch can safely withstand) of 200 lbs. I looked up the towing capacity of the vehicle by consulting an online copy of the owners manual, and found on page 9-17, it states not to tow a trailer with the vehicle. I can't recommend anything that would contradict the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations.
If you were planning on using the hitch as an attachment point for a bike rack or another hitch mounted accessory, you'd want to make sure that the rack plus whatever is placed upon it weighs no more than 200 lbs.
I'll link you to our selection of cargo carriers and bike racks that are compatible with a Class I hitch. Due to the limited weight capacity of the Class I hitch, the hitch and bike rack manufacturers do not recommend carrying more than two bikes on a rack installed on a Class I hitch. Adding additional bikes will place the load further away from the hitch, which increases the leverage applied to it. This additional leverage can bend the hitch or cause its attachment points to the vehicle to fail. Which would be bad.

we have two foldable scooters total weight of both together is 110 lbs then the carrier weights 45 lbs and if we get a trailer gate lift assist that weights 29.4 lbs can we still use a class 1 hitch
