We have 2 options for you to carry a 60 lb e-bike. The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2-Bike Carrier for Electric Bicycles - 2" Hitch - Tilting # HLY84FR and the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Platform Rack # TH903202. The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider will require lifting, whereas the Thule EasyFold has a ramp for you to guide your bike into place. I've attached a video of this for you.
If you choose to go with the Sport Rider, the easiest way to load your bike would be to tilt it down, so you don't need to lift the bike as far, but then you will need to still be able to tilt the rack up with the bike loaded for travel.
