Best Hitch and Bike Rack for 2 E-Bikes on a 2021 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid
Question:
We just got a 2021 Rav4 hybrid so we are looking for a hitch and the best rack to carry our electric bikes. Looking for something easy to use and easy on the eyes. If I have to pay a little more for a higher quality product, that's understandable. Your selection is massive so I don't even know where to begin. Any help is appreciated.

The hitch that I recommend for your 2021 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid is going to be the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13416. This hitch is made in the USA, has a bolt-on no drill installation and will provide you with a 2" receiver opening which is the most common sized hitch opening used for hitch accessories like bike racks, cargo carriers and ball mounts.
The bike rack I recommend for your 2 e-bikes is the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # TH903202. This bike rack will handle 2 e-bikes up to 65lbs. per bike, giving you the best chance to not have to worry about removing the batteries. The Road Dampening Technology (RDT) pads on the clamps protect your bikes from road shock and vibration. The rack has a release lever that allows the rack to tilt with the bikes loaded to access cargo area and the aluminum ramp helps you load heavy bikes.
