2-Bike Hitch Rack Recommendations for Toyota Prius
Question:
What would work with our Prius for 2 bikes? One is a heavy electric 62 pounds.
asked by: Merilee
Expert Reply:
The hitch on your Prius is a light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I type and it can handle the weight of two bikes installed on a suitable carrier.
Since you have a heavy electric bike I recommend the Thule EasyFold platform rack # TH903202. This rack will fit both 1-1/4-inch hitches like yours and it also fits the more popular 2-inch size. Heavy bikes are no problem for the EasyFold; it handles two bikes up to 65-lbs each. But there's more to this rack than high weight capacity.
The Easy Fold also fits all bike frame styles, includes built in locks for the rack and for your bikes, it includes a handy foot-operated tilt mechanism, has a loading ramp so you never have to lift your bike's weight and it even has wheels to make it easy to move it around the garage. The photo shows the tilt device and wheels and the video walks you through this rack's extensive capabilities.
