I understand the bumpers are typically not made for adding a bolt on receiver hitch, so one needs to add support by welding it to the frame. I was looking for an alternative to welding it?
Thanks

This is the one I used from etrailer. It works well and we carry two E-bikes (we remove the batteries to help reduce weight). We've had them on for a few years and we used a bike bag to keep them clean.etrailer carries a rear bumper support bracket kit - I bought one but haven't put it on this trailer, maybe the next one.

We used these on our bumper to carry 2 non-bikes and they worked. We carried them for a few years and they held up well. See above comment about carrying 2 (much) heavier e-bikes.We put two heavy ebikes on the rear bumper using these - Mount-n-Lock-SafetyStruts Amazon.com and a bolt on Curt hitch - Amazon.com
We've taken two 3,000 mile trip without any issues.
I installed a set on my Solitude with the bolt on receiver. Went on easy. Never any sag or issue with the bumper. I inspected the bumper weld left and right side annually, never a sign of a crack.etrailer carries a rear bumper support bracket kit - I bought one but haven't put it on this trailer, maybe the next one.
