Question:

What bike carrying hitch do you recommend for a 2019 Volkswagen Atlas SE. We usually travel with both our ebikes and our 2 carbon fiber road bikes.

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13366 is my pick for your 2019 Volkswagen Atlas SE. It's a low profile hitch with a minimally visible receiver. I included an installed image so you can see how it would look on yours. Should you decide to do more than carry a bike with your hitch, this hitch provides up to 900lbs of tongue weight capacity as well. You always want to check your owners manual first though so not to exceed vehicle limits.

Regarding a bike carrier, I think the Inno Tire Hold Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Tilting # INH142 is a perfect choice. It can accommodate 2 bikes at 60lbs closest to the vehicle while the 2 bikes farthest from the vehicle can be supported up to 40 lbs each. It can also take bike tires as wide as 3"and all 4 will mount by the tire so you won't need to be concerned with frame contact on your road bikes.
