Max weight is 75kg, but you have to include the rack in your calculation. The Thule EasyFold XT3 for instance is 23kg, so you’re left with 52kg to play with.

Well it looks like your needs will outweigh VW's tow hitch limit .
Mine says up to 3 bikes and 75kg. A full suspension e-bike sits around 25kg, and you have to count the weight of the rack as well (20kg for a decent 3 bikes rack). What you can do is loosing the batteries from the bikes, saving around 7ish lbs per bike. It ain't much but it's a start.

The tow bar cost €1100 but used my old Thule bike rack. Make sure that light socket is mounted “sideways” to allow for the twist, otherwise more cutting has to be done!

What do you mean by “make sure light socket is mounted sideways to allow for the twist”? I have ordered hitch from factory (not dealer/retrofit) so how will it come? Could you share a picture of what you mean please?
