I use a Hollywood Fat Tire 2-Bike Rack...

We have two Rad e-bikes at 70+ lbs. each without battery. We have traveled over 10K miles with them on the back of our Montana using a Hollywood Fat Tire 2-Bike Rack. Our Montana didn't have a hitch - only the hollow square bumper. I added some bumper supports and a Curt 2" bold-on receiver below the bumper. Yes, I would prefer the custom welded hitch, but I could not find a place that could do it - because they didn't have parking space for our 65' rig (truck & trailer). It has worked fine for carrying the bikes. Yes, lifting them up on the rack is not fun, but you can buy rails that will allow you to roll them up using the bike's throttle. The only downside is that the bold-on receiver decreases the clearance and sometimes scrapes on sharp inclines - like when I am backing my trailer into my driveway.
