I really like the Thule Insta-Gater Pro # TH93VR for securing your 42 lb e-Bikes in the bed of your 2021 Ford F-150. This can accommodate up to 50 lb bikes and the ratcheting arm can be used to secure either the front or rear tire depending on if you have a fender that may get in the way.

I'm attaching a review video of this rack for you to check out. If this doesn't work for your bikes due to how the fenders sit then we will likely have to move to a hitch mount bike rack like the Yakima OnRamp # Y36FR as the only other options would involve a fork mount bike rack and from what I can tell those typically don't work for e-Bikes.
