We have a great way to carry 50 lb e-bikes with your 2005 Toyota Prius but none of the trunk mounted bike racks have the capacity for an e-bike as the highest capacity trunk racks are rated for 35 lbs per bike. So instead you'd want the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202 which is a hitch mounted bike rack.
Then for your 2005 Prius you'd want the hitch # 24808 and you'd be set. view full answer...
For your Sondors Electric bike, I recommend the Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Platform Rack # TH23JV. This rack is compatible with a single bike up to 60 lbs and two bikes totaling 100 lbs. This comes with the hitch and bike locks as well. I've attached a video of this installed on a Prius to assist.
For your Toyota Prius, you didn't give me a model year, so if you have a 2010-2015 model, I recommend the Draw-Tite # 24847. For 2016-2017 models, I recommend # 24966. If you have a 2004... view full answer...
The only way you'd be able to transport a small scooter with a Prius like your 2009 model is with a hitch and small trailer. The vehicle is not designed for carrying 250 lbs vertically at the rear.
For a hitch you'd want the Draw Tite part # 24808, for a ball mount # 3593, for trailer wiring # 118505, and then for a hitch ball # 19256. view full answer...
Let's start with a solution for your mountain bikes.
To transport your 3 mountain bikes with your 2005 Toyota Prius, you have a couple of options. If you would rather go with a hitch-mounted bike rack, I recommend first installing the Draw-Tite Class I Sport Frame Receiver Hitch # 24808. This is a Class I trailer hitch that will provide a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening and a 200 pound tongue weight capacity. Then for a bike rack, I recommend looking at the Swagman XTC-2 -Bike Platform Rack... view full answer...
We do have a hitch for you but the trailer hitches we carry for the 2008 Toyota Prius, which I've linked, are not the same as for the 2012.
Of the hitches that fit the 2012 Prius I recommend the Draw-Tite which is part # 24847. I prefer it over the Curt, part # C11276, becuase it doesn't require you use a stabilization strap, part # 18050, if you're carrying accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier. Other than that and how the two hitches look they're basically the same.

Based on our research, we have found that Toyota recommends that you do not mount a hitch on the Prius. You may want to check with your dealer for more information if that is the direction you prefer.
I would recommend a trunk mount bike carrier, like the Thule OutWay Bike Carrier, part # TH45JV. This carrier will hold 2 bikes has many great features. It uses only 2 rubber-coated straps instead of the usual 4-6 of other carriers. It also includes locks for the rack and the bike to deter... view full answer...
All of the trailer hitches that are available for a 2014 Toyota Prius are Class l hitches and have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening.
The hitch I recommend is the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, part # 24847. This is a bolt-on installation and comes with all the hardware and instructions.
If you use an adapter like part # HTAD, it will reduce the capacity of the hitch by 50 percent.
The pin and clip I recommend for a 1-1/4 inch hitch is part # PC2.

The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero crossbar option is rated for 165 lbs and has a limited amount of spacing underneath the crossbar where the feet mount so you'll need to stick to the 49" length for your 2017 Toyota Prius.
I personally like the Vortex system better because it looks better plus it will work better against wind noise and drag when compared to square or round crossbars:
49" Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2
2500 Series Legs - # RRRLKVA

I recommend going with the Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack # Y02633 for your 2018 Toyota Prius Hatchback. It is easily adjusted, uses a simpler 4 cam-buckle system for quick installation, and comes with bike and rack locks. It can carry up to 3 bikes with a weight capacity of 90 lbs but it only weighs 21 lbs!
The FullBack comes with everything that you need to install it so you won't need any adapters. Yakima actually has specific fit instructions for your application. You just have to follow... view full answer...
Since the only trailer hitches that fit your 2018 Toyota Prius are Class I hitches your options for carrying bikes are either a trunk mount rack or a on the roof. Class I hitches are limited to only 2 bikes.
If you prefer the trunk then I recommend the Yakima FullBack, part # Y02633. It can handle up to 3 bikes weighing 30 pounds each. The FullBack includes an interlocking HUB that lets you adjust the base to the Prius. There's also setting that are specific to the vehicle to help you... view full answer...
A 4-Way trailer wiring harness such as # C56147 only provides the lighting functions on a trailer and not electric brakes. If the trailer has hydraulic surge brakes and not electric brakes you would not need to add anything to the vehicle or trailer. But if they are electric brakes then what I recommend is to install 7-Way trailer connectors on the vehicle and trailer and you will need a brake controller installed in the vehicle. The brake controller is what controls the trailer brakes.

If you click the provided link, you can see the various trunk mounted bike racks that are verified to fit your 2008 Prius.
Of the available options, I would recommend the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV. The OutWay uses two easily adjustable rubber coated straps to attach to the vehicle, versus the 6 straps and buckles used by other racks. The cable system allows the rack to be installed or removed in a matter of moments. This rack comes with locks for both the rack and the bikes to deter... view full answer...
First, you will want to consult the owners manual for your Prius to determine if a trailer hitch mounted cargo carrier is something that you can use with the vehicle.
All of the trailer hitches for the 2010 Toyota Prius are Class I hitches. The Rola Swinging Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 2" Trailer Hitch # 59109 will only fit if it is a Class III or IV trailer hitch.
What I recommend is the Thule Arcos Enclosed Cargo Carrier # TH25YE. This enclosed rack will fit on the 1-1/4" class 1 hitches... view full answer...
I know from experience that Toyota states not to tow with a Prius but you may want to check the owners manual to determine if carrying a bike rack is acceptable. Any trailer hitch for a Prius is going to be a Class I with 200 pounds tongue weight capacity. Also on a Class I you are limited to carrying a maximum of 2 bikes. Any more than that puts the bikes too far from the receiver which produces too much stress on the hitch, like using a cheater bar to loosen a lug nut.
But to help with... view full answer...
You'd first want to equip your Prius for towing by installing a trailer hitch. I'd recommend the Draw-Tite Class I trailer hitch, part # 24847. For a trailer wiring harness, use part # C56147. You'll also need a drawbar, part # 3594 and the appropriately sized trailer ball. For a 1-7/8 inch ball, use # 19256 or for a 2 inch ball, use # 19258.
Keep in mind that Toyota didn't recommend using certain Prius model years for towing, so you'll want to consult your owner's manual for clarification.

We have 1 bike rack that will do everything that you need it to do without much effort. The biggest hurdle is actually the fenders on the bike in the picture. So for a bike rack that will fit both a Class I trailer hitch on your 2010 Toyota Prius, # 24847, and that will fit a 2 inch hitch on your RV, AND that is rated for use at the back of an RV I recommend the Swagman XC, # S64650.

The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24966 is a fine choice as a bike rack hitch. Like any other hitch for your Prius it has a 200 lb. maximum tongue weight so be sure not to exceed that with the rack and the bikes you are hauling.
I've linked the install video for you to check out. view full answer...
For a trunk mounted bike rack confirmed as a fit for your 2017 Toyota Prius the Yakima Fullback part # Y02634 would be your best option. It's lightweight at 24 lbs, a confirmed fit, very easy to use, and secures the bikes 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 your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a... view full answer...
For your Prius I recommend the Draw-Tite # 24966 Sport Frame Hitch. I think the Draw-Tite hitch is hidden better under the rear bumper fascia and does not require support straps to additionally be used. I have included a link to an install video for a 2018 model which will be the same as yours. You may find the install work a little easier with a trim pad removal tool # ALL648544
