For a bike rack for 2 e-bikes that weigh 60-pounds each (with the battery attached) and have step-through frames, I recommend the Inno Tire Hold 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # INH120. Here at etrailer, we strongly recommend that e-bike owners remove the battery during transport. This will avoid any unnecessary damage to the battery due to bumps and added torque. With that being said, the maximum weight capacity of the Inno Tire Hold 2 is 120 pounds. A great feature of the Tire Hold 2 is that it comes with both locking knobs and a locking cable that deters theft of the bikes as well as the rack itself. Also, since the Tire Hold 2 uses a wheel-mount attachment style, it will bypass the need to use a bike adapter bar like # HRBA-PRO if you were to buy a frame-style attachment style to mount your step-through bikes.
If you need a hitch receiver recommendation for your vehicle, I would be happy to provide you with a recommendation if you respond with the year/make/model of your vehicle.
