I looked up RadCity E-Bikes and they look to weigh just over 60 lbs. With this being the case, I recommend the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # HLY64FR. The # HLY64FR has been tested and approved for use on a 5th wheel trailer. Since there is much more play at the rear of a 5th wheel trailer than a passenger vehicle only some bike racks have been tested and approved to withstand that extra movement when under load. So the # HLY64FR is definitely a great choice for you.

This bike rack has an 80 lbs per bike weight capacity, which gives you plenty of capacity for your 60-pound bikes. The max wheelbase is a generous 60" and it can accommodate tire widths up to 5" wide. One of the best features of this rack is that it secures bikes by their wheels.

Attached is a review video for you to reference as well.
