The RockyMounts MonoRail Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches - Wheel Mount # RKY10003 will do a great job of transporting your 60lb bike since it has a weight capacity of 60lbs per bike. This carrier has a pivoting center arm which can be folded down, allowing you to simply remove the bike without needing to lift it over the center arm.
There is a better option that will allow for easier loading and unloading; that is the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches - Frame Mount # Y96FR. While it is more expensive than the RockyMounts MonoRail, it has an integrated ramp to make things very simple and reduces the need to lift the bike when loading. The weight capacity is 66lbs per bike making it a great option for your 60lb bike. I attached a couple demonstration videos for you to check out.
