  • Recommended Bike Rack for 2 Aventon Aventure Step-Through E-Bikes

The maximum weight capacity is 66 lbs per bike, it has a 2" hitch for connection to your 2" receiver. The loading ramp is included and can be stored on the rack itself during use. While it is a little more difficult to load the wider tire bikes since the ramp is narrow you can still use it. You can secure your bikes in place by the seat posts since...

  • Tire Chains that Fit 2018 Tesla Model S
  • For your 2018 Tesla Model S the only tire chains we have are the K-Summits part # TH02230K45 which you may have already tried but you should check to make sure they are the K45 size which is correct for all factory tire sizes of your vehicle. Sometimes you have to manually push the K-Summits all the way up onto the tire and not just let it work its way up onto the tire.

  • What 3-Bike Rack do You Recommend for Our Super C Renegade Explorer RV?
  • I have a great bike rack solution for you. Unfortunately, we do not carry a bike rack that comes with an enclosed compartment or a cover that will completely cover 3 bikes at the back of your Super C Renegade Explorer RV. The GearSpace 34 Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitch - Slide Out - 34 cu ft - 300 lbs # HGK819 only has enough room for 2 bikes max. The only cover that will work with your RV is the Swagman Bike Cover # S24FR, but this cover only will cover 2 out of the 3 bikes. The...

  • Recommended 4 Bike Rack For Limited Ground Clearance On Tesla Model S
  • You are right that with the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7201 installed on your Tesla Model S you have very little ground clearance but while I have another option for you, the Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # Y02443-2 can not be tilted up to raise the rear of the carrier for increased ground clearance. Instead I recommend taking a look at the Saris SuperClamp EX 4 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount - Tilting # SA4026F which...

  • 2 inch Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Tesla Model S
  • For your 2015 Tesla Model S we have the EcoHitch part # 306-X7201 that you referenced which has a 2 inch opening and a 2,000 lb trailer towing capacity. There's no drilling require to install this but it is a more in-depth install compared to most trailer hitches. Best option would be to find a Tesla dealer local to you and have them install it. For trailer wiring you'd then want the ZCI kit part # 119250KIT which doesn't require any hardwiring. If you wanted to do some towing you might...

  • Solution for Attaching Safety Chains to Hidden Tow Loops for EcoHitch 306-X7201 on Tesla Model S
  • I reached out to my contact at EcoHitch to see if they have seen this issue before with the EcoHitch # 306-X7201 on your Tesla and if they have any suggestions. My contact did say that the Tesla rear bumper has quite a bit of tolerance from the factory, so it's something they occasionally see but more often there's enough clearance available to hook up safety chains. With that being said, clearance is obviously an issue for you based on the picture you attached. My contact said they have...
