Can 2023 Chevy Bolt EV Draw-Tite Hitch Be Used for a Bike Rack
Question:
I just need this for a bike rack. Is the smaller 1.25 hitch okay for that on my 2023 Bolt EV?
asked by: Hans
Expert Reply:
Yes, the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT47GR is a great option for carrying a bike rack with your 2023 Chevy Bolt EV - you just have to make sure the bike rack is rated for use on a Class I hitch receiver, and you don't load more than 2 on the rack. Class I receivers are weaker which is why those limitations are set in place by all of the hitch manufacturers.
If you don't already have a bike rack I recommend checking out the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack # KU74FR because it combines ease of use with a great look and it has a smaller profile for a platform rack which will compliment the smaller body of your Bolt EV.
