It sounds like you are asking if the Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack # C18085 can hold an e-bike. The answer is most likely a no, but it depends on your e-bike.

The Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack # C18085 can hold 2 bikes, weighing up to 45 lbs. per bike. If your e-bike is under 45 lbs., then you can use this rack. But, the majority of the e-bikes on the market weigh more than 45 lbs.

For a 2-bike rack that also fits a 1-1/4" hitch or 2" hitch and tilts like the Curt you were looking at, but also has a higher weight capacity there is the Saris SuperClamp EX Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # SA4025F. this rack can hold 2 bikes weighing up to 60 lbs. per bike. This 60 lb. weight capacity per bike is more in line with the weight of an e-bike.
