For a trailer hitch that is a confirmed fit for your 2012 Ford Focus Sedan, I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11158 which is a custom fit. This is a class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening.
For a bike rack that is compatible with this hitch and can be used with your two 45 lb electric bikes, I recommend using the Thule EasyFold XT 2 Bike Platform Rack part # TH903202. It has a 65 lb per bike weight capacity and a very unique set of frame clamps. It also has a pretty long shank which eliminates most bumper clearance issues.
I have attached a review video of the bike rack and install video of the trailer hitch for you.
