I have a bike rack that will work for you, but the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" Hitches # SH12G will not work for your Himiway fat bike according to the information you provided. This bike rack can fit up to 3" wide tires, which will not fit your bike's 4" wide tires. Also, this bike rack only has a weight capacity of 40lbs per bike, which is likely less than the weight of your Himiway electric fat bike.
I recommend going with Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches - Frame Mount # Y96FR. This has a weight capacity of 66lbs per bike which is the highest weight rating available for your application; if your bike weighs more than 66lbs then you can remove the battery to reduce the weight of he bike. The Yakima OnRamp fits tires up to 3-1/4" wide, so you will need to add Fat Tire Straps # Y23FR which can hold up to 4.5" wide tires. A nice feature is the built-in lock cable which will secure your bike to the carrier. I have attached a detailed demonstration video for you.
