The Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack # Y02633 is a great way to carry three bikes on your 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV. This is a trunk mount design that secures to the hatch of your Bolt and can easily be removed and stored in the vehicle when not in use. I like this rack because it comes with a lock to secure your bikes but it is also one of the most secure and stable trunk mount bike racks I have used. view full answer...
You'll have to source the running light circuit wherever it happens to be. If you can find the wire color by looking at the back of the socket on the hatch you might have luck using the color to find it in a more accessible location. view full answer...
Yes, the portion of the 2019 Chevy Bolt where the EcoHitch part # 306-X7359 installs is strong enough to support the weight of a bike rack. It actually installs where the bumper beam attaches which is reinforced quite a bit.
For a bike rack I really like the Saris SuperClamp EX part # SA4025F.
This is a platform bike rack that only touches the bike at the tires and only weighs 35 lbs. The biggest drawback to platform bike racks has always been the weight of them, but with this rack you... view full answer...
EcoHitch has a hitch that fits your 2023 Chevy Bolt EV with the part # 306-X7359 but the # TL84CR actually fits the EUV models instead. view full answer...
If you are not comfortable installing the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7359 on your 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV then I recommend taking it to a local automotive repair shop as this is something they will be able to install without any issues.
This trailer hitch receiver has a 300lb tongue weight rating and a 2000lb trailer weight rating making it a perfect option for a bike rack like the Thule Helium Pro 3 Bike Rack # TH9043PRO, a cargo carrier, or a ball... view full answer...
We can definitely get your 2020 Chevy Bolt EV set up with a trailer hitch, although there isn't any trailer hitch wiring that is a fit for this vehicle, which I verified with the manufacturers. But you can add a hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack, and by far the best option is from EcoHitch:
- EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7359
The reason the EcoHitch # 306-X7359 is the top option is because this is the only hitch for this vehicle which has a 2 inch receiver. This... view full answer...
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. view full answer...
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... view full answer...
Price does play a pretty important role when choosing a trailer hitch, but for your application you really need to use the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7359 for transporting your e-bike with your 2017 Chevy Bolt EV.
When you use an adapter, like the 1-1/4" to 2" Adapter # e43YR, you'll be reducing the weight capacity of the hitch by 50%. This is due to the extension causing more exaggerated movement since it sits further out. So not only will the weight rating of the hitch... view full answer...
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. view full answer...
The hitch I recommend for your 2018 Chevy Bolt EV for carrying a bike rack is the Draw Tite # 24956 because it has the highest capacities, has a concealed crosstube, and unlike the Curt hitch for your vehicle it does not require the use of a stabilizer strap when carrying a non-supported load like a bike rack. I attached a picture of this hitch installed on a Bolt EV just like yours carrying a Kuat NV # NV12G which is a fantastic bike rack we also recommend highly. This rack only touches... view full answer...
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

Best option for a 2,000 watt inverter that's priced decent is the Go Power inverter part # 34278156 which is for 12 volt setups and has low power safety features built in but they are not programmable. We don't have any programmable options. This would work great with the part # PD4045KA. view full answer...
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. view full answer...
There is one trailer hitch receiver that stands above the rest for your 2023 Chevy Bolt EV, which is the hitch from EcoHitch; I verified with them the correct part number for your '23 Bolt EV is the following:
- EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7359
The reason the EcoHitch # 306-X7359 is easily the best for your 2023 Bolt EV is because it is the only one with a 2 inch hitch receiver, and its 300 lb tongue weight rating is also the highest for hitches that fit. The other hitches... view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24956 is a great option for a 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV and it will allow you to use a number of different bike racks so you can carry your bikes to and from the trails. It has a hidden design so most of the hitch will be discretely tucked behind the bumper.
The best bike rack will really come down to the type of bikes you have, most of them do fold/tilt. The Thule Hitching Post Pro - Folding Tilting 4 Bike Rack w Anti-Sway - 1-1/4"... view full answer...
If you have a 2017 Chevy Bolt, that is not the EV, we don't have a hitch that is confirmed to fit. If you have the 2017 Chevy Bolt EV, then the hitches you mentioned are confirmed to fit.
I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # 24956 over the Curt trailer hitch receiver because it is sturdier and can handle double the weight capacity for your bike rack.
A Class 1 hitch will limit your bike rack options due to the shank size and... view full answer...
You are correct that your 2018 Chevrolet Bolt EV is not rated to tow a trailer. Most electric vehicles are not. But we do have hitches that will allow you to safely and securely transport two bikes and also to use a hitch-mount cargo carrier to haul your husband's weekend camping gear.
The hitches made for your Bolt EV are shown on the linked page. Since the highest-rated option has a 300-lb tongue weight rating (tongue weight is downward force on the hitch from what is mounted in it)... view full answer...
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.

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... view full answer...
