Im looking for a bike rack platform, 2 hitch that will hold 2 ebikes that weigh 70 pounds each with 4 tires. Can you recommend a rack that will hold these bikes? Thanks!

I am assuming you mean that the bikes have a total of 4 tires (2 each per e-bike).
If this is what you meant, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches # HLY84FR. The Sport Rider SE comes with a massive 80 pound per-bike capacity and is constructed for brute strength. It is approved for cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and motorhomes. Another benefit of the rack is that it accommodates tires up to 5 inches wide. This is a great feature if you happen to have fat bikes. If you happen to have women's bikes, step-thru bikes, or children's bikes, you need a bike frame adapter bar # 64005 for each of those bike styles. The adapter creates a straight, horizontal plane that is required to attach bikes to the ratcheting hooks of the rack.
It is important to note that if you already have a hitch, I recommend measuring from the center of the hitch pinhole to the outside face of your rear bumper. As long as that measurement does not exceed 5 inches long, you won't have any bumper clearance issues with the Sport Rider SE.
If you need a recommendation for a compatible 2" receiver, feel free to respond to this answer with your year/make/model and I will be happy to suggest the best option for you.
