You will want something sturdy for those. Kuat, Thule, Yakima are reliable brands. if you want something budget, the lowest I would go (from personal experience) is Allen. You can often find the 4 bike carrier for around $60, but I got mine at $85 and still served me well until I eventually got a Kuat (which I highly recommend, if budget allows).
Looks exactly like the harbor freight one. Good price for a decent bike rack. Depending on your bikes geometry you might have to take the front tire off. I've got a harbor freight one and if I don't take my front tire off it drags when going into steep driveways

Looking for something that can hold 2x electric bikes which weigh 60-80 pounds each. Any recommendations?

I've had one of these for a while now. I normally use it to transport my gravel e-bike (35 pounds with battery removed). I've even used it to transport a smaller solid wood kitchen island with ratchet straps during our move. This can also be used as a maintenance stand for derailleur tuning and brake changes, etc.

For something that heavy I'd get a platform hitch rack from a reputable brand. Thule, Kuat, 1up, Yakima. They're more pricy but worth it. Some models come with a ramp for easier loading. REI has sales multiple times a year so keep an eye out.

you will need a cross bar if it is step through and all you do is remove the battery. It should be about 35 lb ea. These things should be rated twice the spec what it says so 140lb
You can also remove the front tire and store inside the vehicle or put one e-bike in the trunk , remove the tire and battery.
Thats what i am doing , hitch is like 175+tax and then if you want a great 2inch hitch bike rack expect to pay 400+
All it does is give you more convivence that you can open your trunk and maybe a piece of mind if you are traveling across the country. Just get some straps or bungee cords on amazon to secure the front wheel to the handle bars
Thule is overpriced and a pain to setup for non hitch cars.
also this deal for the hitch bike rack is garbage for 35 bucks , it basically does the same thing as the item i linked above. Just more convenient to open a trunk

Slick deal style: Find a 4 bike rack that is rated for 200 lbs. Use it for your two ebikes.
Regular deal style: get one of the name branded two bike carriers rated for the ebike weight that others are suggesting.
Neither are bad answers, just make sure you have a rack that is rated for you total weight or more (with the batteries, if you plan on leaving them locked on the bikes or they are not removable).

I went through the same thing. Be sure to check how they fasten the bikes. I almost got a Thule one, but it was the style that clamps in the tire which wasn't going to work for my bike which has a fender on it. Depends on your bike obviously, but something to be mindful of. Hollywood racks are what Radpower sells through their site.
20lb road bike with endurance/light gravel geometry. Anyone got recommendations for something decent but price conscious? Looks like lots of knowledgeable people in the comments. Thanks!

I own this one and it's nice but the hooks have scraped off some of the paint even though I've added felt to the bottom of them.
