Question:
I will have a 65 lb fat tire e-bike and 3 kids bikes 16 inch, 20 inch and 24 inch. Looking for a 4 bike rack that will accommodate all 4. Total weight of bikes is 116 lbs. 2 inch hitch. Thank you.

I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, we do not have a 4-bike or a 3-bike solution that will be able to accommodate the 65-pound fat-tire e-bike with all of the other children's bikes on the rack.
The best option is to use the fat-tire e-bike and the 16-inch diameter kid's bike on the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches # HLY84FR. The Sport Rider SE comes with an impressive 80-pound per-bike weight capacity and does not require you to purchase an additional fat-tire cradle adapter. Also, I recommend a bike frame adapter bar # 64005 for the kid's bike and if your e-bike has a step thru frame. The adapter will provide a straight, horizontal plane that is required to attach to the hooks of the Sport Rider SE.
One thing to keep in mind when using the Sport Rider SE is bumper clearance. Since the rack measures 5 inches from the center of the pinhole to the closest part of the rack, the distance between the hitch pinhole and the outside face of your rear bumper cannot exceed that length.
As far as the other 2 kids' bikes, I recommend a rooftop bike rack like the Yakima FrontLoader Wheel Mount Bike Carrier - Roof Mount # Y02103. The FrontLoader requires a roof rack system. In order to recommend the best crossbars we have, feel free to respond to this answer with the year/make/model/roof type of your vehicle.
