Th best way to transport a E-lux Newport Sport on your 2018 Toyota Camry Hybrid is going to be with a trailer hitch and hitch mounted bike rack. For a trailer hitch, I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11576 because the receiver tube as you can see in the attached photo sits right up underneath the rear bumper giving you the most ground clearance possible. Then for a bike rack, I recommend the Saris Freedom 2 Bike Platform Rack part # SA4412B because it has an 8" rise shank which again gives you the best ground clearance and it is very lightweight at only 22.5 lbs so it's super easy to take on and off the vehicle. The unique frame clamps will ensure you don't need any additional adapters for your deep drop tube frame.
