I do have an option for you but the Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender part # y02483 is only recommended for use with a bike rack that has a one piece 2" shank. Therefore, it would not be recommended to use the Thule EasyFold XT 2 E-Bike Platform Rack part # TH903202 as it has a 1-1/4" to 2" shank adapter though it would physically fit.
It sounds like you have some pretty heavy e-bikes so I recommend either taking a look at the Swagman E-Spec 2-Electric Bike Platform Rack part # S94FR or the Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Platform Rack part # TH83JV. These will both work with e-bikes and they have a one piece 2" shank so they will work with the BackSwing as well. If your bike has fenders you will want to go with the Swagman E-Spec but if not you have a choice between the Thule T2 Pro XTR and the Swagman E-Spec.
There are no ramps for either of the above options unfortunately. If you need a ramp then you will have to forgo the BackSwing and just use the Thule EasyFold.
