Used the search feature here to find out what people have. Bike rack is just for two adult bikes, not ebikes. Swagman seemed like the way to go, so bought the Dispatch. Someone mentioned a bike cover, so bought the Formosa. Nice with the wide bodied Solitude that neither interfere with the brake lights. Rotating the handlebars 90 degrees eliminates the need for any hitch extension.

Traveled home from Myrtle Beach with these for the first trip and everything worked great. Bike rack is solid. I was putting the bikes on their side on the back tray before this. Great having the tray now free for bins and other storage.

We have the Hollywood Racks eBike rack from etrailer, their HLY64FR, mount two eBikes, have towed several thousand miles now and been impressed. The rack is impressively, solidly stable.
It's dusty back there; you will want a cover. We have a "600D Oxford Bike Cover for 2 Bikes" from Amazon: inexpensive, has been sturdy, is generously fitted.
With two previous rigs we used a receiver mounted in front on the pinbox and a much cheaper rack. The advantages with that setup: you can see the bikes from the truck; the pinbox is the least bouncy part of the trailer; the bikes and rack don't extend the length of the rig; when parked separate from the truck the bikes are way overhead and tough to pilfer. But the Solitude's front cap sticks out too far.
