We have a hitch-mounted bike carrier that will carry your wife's e-bike but it is limited to two bikes.
I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR. This bike carrier has a weight capacity of 80 lbs per bike with a maximum wheelbase of 60 inches and a maximum tire width of 5 inches. This carrier has a hitch lock and also bike locks to secure the bike to the carrier.
The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2014 Outback is the Draw-Tite # 75673. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2 inch receiver opening.
Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2"
