Can I use my existing license plate?

Last Updated: February 26, 2025

No, the vehicle’s original license plate may not simply be attached to the bicycle carrier or rear box. A duplicate license plate must be used, which carries the same combination as the original license plate but is issued without registration and inspection stickers.

Do I need a tow hitch for a rear box?

Last Updated: February 2, 2025

Yes, a tow hitch is absolutely required. Rear boxes are mounted on a carrier system that attaches directly to the vehicle’s tow hitch. Without a tow hitch, using a rear box is not possible. What should I consider? If your vehicle does not have a tow hitch, retrofitting may be a practical option.
