The Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes part # TH903202 only weighs 45 lbs so as long as the weight of your bikes plus this does not exceed the 250 lb weight capacity of the Saris Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks part # SAR36VR you should be good to go.

I looked up your Juiced RipCurrent Fat Tire Electric Bikes and they weigh 70 lbs each which brings your total to 185 lbs which is under the 250 lb limit of the swing-away so you're golden. Please note, you're also limited by the vehicle's hitch capacity. The weight of the adapter is 40 lbs so the hitch must be rated for this, the rack, and the bikes.
