Expert Reply:

Of the racks you mentioned only the Yakima OnRamp part # Y36FR was designed specifically for e-bikes. The others could be used with e-bikes since they have the higher weight capacity but if the e-bikes have fenders they won't work well since they grab the bikes by the tire right where the fender normally is. So of the three I would recommend the OnRamp as the best overall choice.

For a similar Thule e-bike rack we have the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 which is normally my favorite as it has a ramp that pulls out and is only option that fits Class I 1-1/4 inch hitches but the better price of the OnRamp would be the best value for a 2 inch hitch and my recommendation.
