The Saris Freedom 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # SA4412B is compatible with bikes up to 60 lbs. Unfortunately your bike is just over that, so unless you can reduce the weight of the bike by removing the battery, I recommend the Thule EasyFold XT 2 Electric Bike Platform Rack # TH903202 which is compatible with bikes up to 65 lbs and will not require any adapter bar. This will fully secure your bike by the frame and allow you to easily load your bike as well. It has many features the other bike carriers do not, so I've attached a video to assist.
The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY74FR is compatible with bikes up to 80 lbs each and the Swagman E-Spec 2-Electric Bike Platform Rack # S94FRis compatible with bikes up to 70 lbs each. Either of these bike racks will work well, but they will most likely required the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's, Children's, and Alternative Frame Bikes # 64005 to create a top rail for the bike between the handlebars and seat post. This will add stability to the transport of your bike.
