Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2016 Kia Sorento And Bike Rack For 2 e-Bikes
Question:
We have two e-bikes each weighing 50 #. I want to fit my KIA 2016 Sorento with a trailer Hitch and bike rack. Will this carry the combined weight of 100 #?

For your 2016 Kia Sorento, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75908. This hitch receiver is rated for up to 500 lbs tongue weight, so you will have no problem carrying a bike rack compatible with your e-bikes. This installation is simple and requires no drilling. If you care concerned about your tongue weight capacity, you can check your owners manual to see the manufacturer specs as they are often less than the capacity of the aftermarket hitches.
For your bike rack, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2-Bike Carrier for Electric Bicycles - 2" Hitch - Tilting # HLY84FR. This rack has a capacity of up to 80 lbs per bike or 160 lbs total. The bike carrier itself weighs 54 lbs and has a foldable feature when not in use and is able to tilt away from the rear hatch even when bikes are loaded. This rack comes with the bike and hitch locks to secure your equipment and deter theft giving you peace of mind.
