The Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers # LC429756 has a 40lb per bike capacity (80lbs total). Typically for all of our racks we list the capacity by "per bike" but this one has it listed as overall capacity. Most likely your e-bike will be well above this so we can look at alternative options that would be compatible with your trailer. With the weight you would need to have a trailer hitch on the trailer for a hitch mounted bike rack. If you don't have one then you'll need to measure the space between the inside of your frame beams to determine the frame width. Once we know the frame width we can pick out a compatible trailer hitch.

From there you would just need a bike rack like the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # S94FR. This rack has a per bike capacity of 70lbs cradles that can fit up to a 3" wide tire. If you have fat tires you'll need the adapter cradles # S64679 to accommodate the larger tires.
