Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for E-Bike Carried by 2012 Toyota Prius
Question:
Hello, im looking for a hitch and bike carrier for a 2012 Prius. I plan on carrying at least 1 electric bike 52lbs and possibly another similar one. Can you recommend an appropriate hitch and carrier? thanks!

Expert Reply:
For a trailer hitch you would want the Draw Tite hitch part # 24847 which is a confirmed fit for your 2012 Toyota Prius. For a lightweight bike rack that would have the needed capacity and fits the hitch I mentioned you would want the Saris Freedom EX2 part # SA4025F.
This rack has a 60 lb per bike capacity and would work well for you. I attached a video for more info as well.
