While both of these racks are great options, the Kuat NV 2.0 # NV22B-NA22B does not provide the weight capacity you need for your 60-pound e-bike when 4 bikes are loaded. This is because the weight capacity reduces to 50 pounds per bike with 3 bikes and 40 pounds per bike for 4 bikes.
For this reason, I strongly recommend going with the Saris SuperClamp EX Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches # SA4026F. Not only will you receive the weight capacity you need when your e-bike is mounted in the front two positions of the rack, you do not need to purchase additional locks like you do with the NV 2.0. Like the NV 2.0, the SuperClamp allows you to tilt the rack away from your vehicle in order to gain better access to your trunk. As far as bike compatability, the SuperClamp is compatible with bike wheelbases up to 47 inches long and bike tires up to 4-1/2 inches wide.
From what you inputted in our fitguide, you have a 2016 Lexus GX 460. If you need a hitch for this vehicle, I recommend going with the Curt Hitch - 2" # C13043. This hitch not only provides you the weight capacity you need, it also comes with a higher quality gloss outer coat over the base powder coat that gives you more protection against rust and corrosion than our etrailer hitch # e46YR. With the # C13043 installed, you won't have any bumper clearance issues when using the SuperClamp.
