Expert Reply:
While there is a way for you to carry a 70 lb electric bike on the back of a motorhome, there are no ladder-mounted bike racks that have the capacity to carry a 70 lb bike.
Instead you will need to add a trailer hitch, the Multi-Fit Motorhome Trailer Hitch # 5350, which you can do so long as your motorhome has a chassis from 24" to 46" wide, or the Multi-Fit Motor Home Trailer Hitch # 82201 for frame widths from 47" to 71" wide.
Once you have the right hitch you will simply need a bike rack that can handle such a heavy electric bike and for that you will have to use the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2 Electric Bike Rack # HLY84FR because of its 80 lb per bike weight capacity.
I have added a link to a video review of this rack for you to check out.
