I found a bike rack the will work for you. The Hollywood Racks SE 2-Bike Rack for Electric Bikes, # HLY84FR, would be the best option for electric bikes. The Hollywood Racks model # HR1450Z that you referenced is similar to the # HLY84FR model, but does not have the weight capacity to handle most electric bikes.

The HLY84FR has a weight capacity of 160 lbs or 80 lbs per bike. The standard # HR1450Z model only has a total weight capacity of 100 lbs or 50 lbs per bike.

This rack will fit the 2 x 2 inch hitch receivers and can mount a tire as large as 5 inches in the wheel and tire mounts. This bike rack will also include a hitch and cable locks to help deter against theft.
