Bike Rack Solution for 2017 Volkswagen Golf to Carry E-Bikes  

Question:

2017 VW Golf - no hitch. Does the trunk mount rack work on a hatchback? I have a Trek Verve 2+ Low-step e-bike

Expert Reply:

The Thule Gateway Pro 2 Bike Rack part # TH88VR is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Volkswagen Golf but since is only rated for carrying bikes up to a weight of 35 lbs it would not be the best solution for carrying e-bikes like what you have. Since there are no trunk mounted bike racks that have a higher weight capacity a hitch solution would be your best option so that you could carry an e-bike rack like the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 which can carry bikes with low step thru frames like you have and also has the higher weight capacity you'd need.

Then for a hitch you'd want the Curt part # C11412 which is a custom fit for your 2017 Volkswagen Golf as well.
