Expert Answers about Chevrolet Bolt EV


  • Would SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack Have Enough Capacity For Carrying Plywood
  • I attached a link to our returns policy to this page but the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B easily will work with the wood you need to transport. It has a weight capacity of 150 lbs and 210 lbs of vacuum strength per cut so it's not going anywhere. The speed you mentioned travelling would not be an issue either. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV
  • I do have an option for you but there are no confirmed trailer wiring harnesses for a 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV. That said, I spoke to Curt and they said the best option is the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # C59236 which is their universal harness used on most vehicles without plug and play systems available.

  • How to Carry 4 Montague Paratrooper Bikes on a 2018 Chevrolet Bolt EV
  • I have a couple of possible solutions for your 2018 Chevrolet Bolt EV. First, though, the Draw-Tite Sports Frame, part # 24956, is a Class I hitch. It is not possible to carry more than 2 bikes on a rack for Class I hitches. The first solution involves utilizing that 2-bike feature and carrying the other 2 in some other way. For the 2-bike rack, I recommend the Swagman Chinook, part # S64683. It can handle 2 bikes at 45 pounds each and fits into 1-1/4" hitches like yours. I've linked...

  • Yes, the Swagman Titan Bike rack part # S63400 that you referenced will easily fit the Draw Tite hitch part # 24956 which is a fit for your 2017 Chevy Bolt EV. The hitch lock part # S64029 is both a hitch lock and anti-rattle device it is also a fit for theSwagman bike rack as well. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on...

  • Recommended Hitch With 2 Inch Receiver for 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV
  • For a hitch with a 2" receiver for your 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7359. This has a maximum gross trailer weight of 2,000 lbs and maximum tongue weight of 300 lbs. Make sure to check your owner's manual to verify your towing capacity. As long as your bikes and bike rack do not exceed the max tongue weight this hitch will work well for you. It also has a concealed cross tube so only the receiver will be visible from the back. I...

  • Saris SuperClamp EX 2 vs Kuat Sherpa 2.0: Which is Easier to Lift Bike Onto
  • To load the inside bike on the Saris SuperClamp EX # SA4025F you would not necessarily need to lift the bike vertically over the tilted arms. What you can do is lift the bike up high enough to get on the wheel cradles but instead angle the bike in and push it to the side far enough that the back tire clears the other arm of the rack. Then you can bring it back to the other side and center it on the rack and fit the cradles. On the other hand the Kuat Sherpa # SH12G might be a slightly...

  • Snow Chain Recommendation for Tire Size 215/50-17
  • For the tire size of 215/50-17 that you have on your 2017 Chevy Bolt EV the best low clearance chain option we have is the Konig K-Summit set part # TH02230K33. The reason these are the best option is because the chains do not go over the inner shoulder of the tire at all which is the area that would cause interference issues if there was going to be one. We have to recommend you stick with the recommendation of your vehicle manufacturer but sometimes you can show them options like this...

  • Thule Roof Rack that Fits 2023 Chevy Bolt EV
  • That specific fit kit is no longer available as it was designed for a now outdated Thule crossbar roof rack. For your 2023 Chevy Bolt EV the current roof rack components you would need are part numbers # TH711120, # TH710601, # TH45KE for their Wingbar Evo roof rack.

  • Easy-to-Remove Bike Rack for 2017 Chevy Bolt EV
  • For your 2017 Chevy Bolt EV there are only Class I 1-1/4 inch hitches available like the Draw Tite part # 24956 which will limit your choices but there are still great options for your vehicle. The Saris Freedom part # SA4025F is the best ightweight option. It's easy to remove and only weighs 35 lbs which is very light for a platform bike rack. This rack also only touches the tires of the bikes when loaded so it won't damage or scratch any paint finishes.

  • Can SportRack Hitch Bike Racks # SR2703 Be Used in Class I Trailer Hitch
  • The Sportrack Bike Rack part # SR2703 that you referenced can fit in Class I hitches like what you have installed on your 2017 Chevy Bolt, but you should note that you would be limited to carrying only 2 bikes with this rack since your hitch is a Class I. Due to the added weight and leverage of a third bike out at the rear of a bike rack Class I hitches should never be used to carry more than 2 bikes at a time.

  • 2023 Chevy Bolt EV Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations
  • I recommend using the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7359 for your 2023 Chevy Bolt EV because it's the only option that has both a hidden crosstube and a 2" receiver so you gain access to a wider variety of bike racks you can use. If you don't already have a bike rack I highly recommend the Kuat Beta Bike Rack # B202-2 because it can handle up to 80 lbs worth of bikes (40 lbs per bike) but the rack itself only weighs in at 12.6 lbs so it's extremely light while exceeding...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for 2020 Chevy Bolt
  • For your 2020 Chevy Bolt, the roof rack recommendation will depend on if you have flush mounted rails that run front to back or no rails (naked) roof. If you have a naked roof, then I recommend the Yakima roof rack consisting of: Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2 # Y00425 BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4 # Y28TR BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2 # Y06123 BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for 2017 Chevy Bolt
  • The wiring harnesses are basically the similar harness from different manufacturers. I personally recommend the 4 Pole Trailer Connector (Includes Install Kit) # C59496 because it comes with the circuit tester to help you find the wire functions prior to your trunk lid. Use the circuit tester to determine functions before using the quick splice connectors on the wires.

  • What Roof Rack Fits My Flush Rails on My 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV?
  • Thanks so much for the photos! I can see how you might be confused. I went ahead and confirmed with Yakima that these rails are considered flush rails with fixed mounting points on your 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV. For a great roof rack system for your setup, I recommend the following parts: - Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" # Y00425 - SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Fixed Mounting Points, Flush Rails, and Track Systems # Y53TR - Landing Pad 19 # Y00245 - Yakima Same-Key...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2017 Chevy Bolt EV
  • The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7359 is a great option for a 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV as it has the larger receiver tube size which allows for more accessories to be used. If you wish to tow a trailer then you will need to install trailer wiring as well but there are no custom fit or confirmed fit options for this vehicle unfortunately as it's is not rated to tow. That said, you should be able to get the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector...

  • Can Reese 2 Bike Hitch Mounted Folding Rack Carry 1 Mens Mountain Bike and 1 Trek Road Bike
  • The Thule Camber 2 Bike Hitch Mounted Rack # TH9058 referenced in your question is designed to carry 2 bikes and would work with your 2 bikes. You will load the first bike on the cradle closest to the vehicle. You will then load the second bike onto the cradle so that the handle bars face in the opposite direction from the first bike. This is to provide the necessary clearance for the handlebars so they do not come into contact with each other.

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2017 Chevy Bolt With Bare Roof
  • By 'gap', I'm assuming you're meaning the T-slot or groove in the top of the crossbar that allows certain roof rack accessories to install, rather than clamping around the crossbar, is that correct? If that's the case, I'd recommend a Yakima JetStream roof rack, which would be assembled from the following parts: • Yakima JetStream 50 inch crossbars in silver as part # Y00425 for black • Yakima BaseLine towers, part # Y28TR • Vehicle Specific fit clips # Y06123 • Vehicle Specific fit clips...

  • Availability Of 4-way Wiring Harness For 2021 Chevrolet Bolt EV
  • I have an option for you, but there is not a custom fit trailer wiring harness for your 2021 Chevrolet Bolt EV at this time. With that said that does not mean you cannot install one. I recommend using the 4-Pole Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # C59496 as it comes with a circuit tester to find the correct wires on your factory harness to connect to, and since it draws power directly from the battery of your Bolt EV to protect the factory wiring from damage.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for 2018 Chevy Bolt EV
  • Starting with the hitch for your 2018 Chevy Bolt EV I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7359 because it has the highest weight capacity and is the only hitch available for your Bolt EV that features a 2 inch receiver. The 2 inch opening is compatible with many more hitch-mounted accessories than the smaller 1-1/4 inch receivers. In addition to its strength and versatility the EcoHitch also features a sleek hidden design where only the 2 inch receiver will be...
