Expert Reply:

The 1-1/4-inch trailer hitch on your Subaru Outback is a Class II type which has the necessary tongue weight (TW) capacity to carry two fairly heavy 60-lb electric bikes along with the weight of your chosen bike rack.

The hitch bike rack you referenced, the Thule Easy Fold # TH903202, has the capacity to handle 60-lb bikes. It offers the advantage of providing good clearance at the back of your car - a full 14-inches from the hitch pin hole. This means that your bikes will have more space and will be less likely to contact the vehicle and the Thule will fit BOTH 1-1/4-inch and 2-inch hitches.

I have linked a video showing the features of the Easy Fold rack.
