Hey Wayne, thanks for reaching out!
The only roof-style bike rack capable of handling the 54 lbs of your e-Bike is the Kuat Piston SR Roof Bike Rack # KU32VR. Most manufacturers are only looking for people to use the roof-style racks on the roof so they tap out at about 45 lbs since they figure people won't want to life legit e-Bikes on top of their vehicle.
The Piston SR is a bit pricey, but that's because it's top-of-the-line from Kuat so you get a LOT of really cool features like the ratcheting arms (with pistons) and a cable lock that mounts in the middle of the rack.
Another perk is the 2" Hitch Adapter # KU78ZR. So, when you aren't towing the trailer, you can still use the bike rack!
What e-Bike will you be taking with you?
