For your 2010 Honda Civic we have the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit # 306-X7233. This hitch has the 2" opening that you need and a tongue weight of 300 pounds. It would work great with the Thule T2 for 2 inch hitches # TH83JV that you mentioned.

I have attached a short video demonstration on this bike rack and this hitch that you can take a look at.

Answer 9

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…
