I got the impression he was thinking about folding them up and putting them in his hatchback. I didn't see any talk of a rack until now.
These folding eBikes are pretty big, I couldn't get two of them in my Subaru WRX; just one in a tote in the back seat.

Back to the rack: I was looking at hitches for my CR-V. 2" Hitches are typically rated 400 lbs. or so, but the CR-V weight rating is a lot less than that. It'd probably be even less for a Saab.

Stick with the truck. ;-)
