Expert Reply:

Yes, you can tell your customer our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e35ZR is a great choice for carrying 2 E-bikes behind your 2023 Subaru Ascent. I recommend showing them the Thule Epos Bike Rack # TH99XE which can carry 2 bikes up to 70lbs each. This has a frame mount as most e-bikes have fenders.

You will want to tell them they should add the 4-Way Wiring # C56040 as they will likely need to add some Auxiliary Lights # C53201. The lights are typically needed behind most bike racks since the bikes will interfere with the view of tail lights to other drivers on the road.
