The Thule T2 Classic Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH9045 will work great for your application, but you'll need to remove the batteries from your e-bikes. Since this rack has a max weight capacity of 100 lbs and your bikes weigh in at 52 lbs it's always best to be safe than sorry, especially when expensive bikes are involved.
Attached is a review video for you to check out!
If this doesn't work out for your application we have the Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # NV12B you can use instead. This is essentially the same as the T2 Classic when it comes to features, but it's a nicer bike rack, easier to use, and it can carry up to 2 e-bikes weighing in at 60 lbs. I'm linking a video for this rack as well.
