Hey Greg,
The only hitch available for your Versa is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11256, which has a 200lb tongue weight capacity. Two 70lb bikes is going to take up 140lbs of that leaving you with <60lbs leftover for the bike rack. The only bike rack we currently offer that doesn't require a higher class trailer hitch and can accommodate your two 70lb e-bikes is the Thule Epos # TH99XE. This bike rack weighs 45.83lbs leaving you with roughly 14lbs of capacity leftover.
With how heavy the bikes are there really isn't another option besides towing a small trailer with the bikes mounted on the trailer, but that's not very convenient. Do you have a different vehicle you could haul the bikes with possibly?
