How to Carry Bikes on a 2015 Fiat 500e Electric
Question:
Im looking for a hitch that can fit a Fiat 500 electric. The rear valence on the electric is somewhat lower than the gas car. Will the Curt or Hidden Hitch versions fit the 500e? Specifically, I want to run the Kuat Sherpa on the car.

Expert Reply:
There are currently no trailer hitches confirmed to fit the 2015 Fiat 500e (electric) models but there is a way that you can carry bikes on the vehicle. You can use a trunk mount bike carrier. For a trunk mount carrier I recommend the Thule OutWay Pro # TH45JV.
This carrier holds 2 bikes, has the latest in technology to better protect the bikes and it can be locked into place to deter theft. It also has a built in cable lock and rack lock that uses the One-Key system. I have included a link to a video review of this carrier for you.
