For a 2016 Mazda CX-5 I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98902. This trailer hitch has a 600lb tongue weight capacity so you'll be able to haul your heavy e-bike(s) around with no problem. You will want to check the owner's manual for your CX-5 to ensure you don't exceed the vehicle's capacity though. This hitch has a matte black finish that help to hide scratches and scrapes, unlike gloss coatings. The installation is pretty straight forward as well so you can follow Rob's video that I've attached below to complete it yourself and save some money.

If you ever plan on towing anything or wat to add lights to your bike rack for better visibility then I recommend also picking up the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56310. Rob also shot a video for this wire harness so you can follow along with it to get yours installed.
