The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2", part # 75902, is compatible with your 2015 Nissan Rogue Select. It is the right size hitch receiver, Class III, to carry a mobility scooter. I would still recommend a different hitch receiver that has a higher maximum tongue weight. The hitch receiver you have selected has a tongue weight of 350 lbs. This means your mobility scooter and the weight of the rack cannot exceed 350 lbs. You would be cutting it close, so my recommendation is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2", part # e98846. This hitch receiver has a maximum tongue weight of 525, which should be enough weight for your mobility scooter and the rack you will use to transport it.

If you need a rack to carry your mobility scooter I recommend the 32x48 Reese Steel Solo Cargo Carrier and Folding Ramp for 2" Hitches - 400 lbs, part # PS10401-10402. This rack has a ramp and it can support up to 400 lbs. It weighs 101 lbs and it has reflectors on the rear of the carrier so other drivers will see you.

Please refer to your owner's manual and check your vehicle's recommended tongue weight. Whatever maximum tongue weight is the lowest, the hitch receiver or the vehicle, that weight will be the limiting factor.

I have included product description links and installation video links below.
