Hello Philip, thanks for getting in touch. The best option for this will be the Kuat Piston SR Roof Bike Rack # KU32VR. It has a 67 lb weight capacity, so enough for your Heibike E-bike. It includes hardware for mounting to the T-slot on your Rhino Rack vortex bars. It also has an integrated locking cable which you can run thru the wheel of the bike and around the crossbar for extra security. It will work with tires up to 5" wide and 29" in diameter. Just keep in mind this is a wheel mount rack so better for bikes without fenders.
The video I linked below will show you a more in-depth look at the Kuat Piston SR bike rack. Reply below and let me know what you think or if you have any questions.
