E-Bike Rack for 2018 Mercedes Benz Sprinter Compatibility with Tow Dolly
Question:
I am purchasing a Tiffin Wayfarer Class C motorhome. I want to dolly toe a 2017 Kia Soul and also carry two 50 pound e- bikes. Is it possible to install a front receiver hitch and carry the two bikes in front with the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2-Electric Bike Platform Rack or would the bikes obstruct the view of the driver? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

There is not a front mounted trailer hitch option for a 2018 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 3500 at this time. Your 2017 Kia Soul can be towed using a dolly like the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes and ,380 lbs capacity, # RM-2050-1 as long as it has no larger than 16 inch wheels. You will also need the 7-way trailer connector like # PK12706.
For your two e-bikes, I recommend the MaxxTow Ball Mount w/ 2" Accessory Receiver - 2" Hitches # MT70066 and then the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2-Electric Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches # HLY84FR. Finally you will want a 2 inch hitch ball like # 63845.
