Hey David, the Curt hitch part # C13410 is a great option for a hitch for your 2015 Subaru Outback. It is mostly hidden so its easier on the eyes, install is no problem for a mechanic, and it would work great for a bike rack for an e-bike like you are needing.

For a bike rack the EasyFold XT part # TH903202 is a really great option as well. It's not super heavy, it folds up for storage and easier isntall/removal, and it has a ramp that pulls out for easier loading/unloading.
