There is one superb option to carry your RadWagon Electric Cargo Bike, which is definitely a unique bike, with a wheelbase of about 50 inches and weighing in at over 70 lbs.

With those specs the best bike rack for your RadWagon is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 2 Electric Bike Rack # HLY74FR.

This rack has an 80 lb capacity, which is more than any other rack and enough for your RadWagon, and also fits bikes with wheelbases up to 60 inches, and tires up to 5 inches wide. The Hollywood doesn't just meet the specs you need, it also has quality-of-life features, including an anti-rattle handle. This means you can install the rack in your trailer hitch with just the turn of the handle, making it very easy to use. Other racks inconveniently require you to use tools to tighten a bolt in the hitch, but not the SE2.

The rack also protects the investment you made in your RadWagon Electric Cargo Bike because the rack has integrated hitch and frame locks, which lock the bike rack to your vehicle and bike to your rack, respectively.

I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well of the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 2 Electric Bike Rack # HLY74FR.

Is there anything like this for a class 1 hitch? I've only found them to go up to ~60lb per bike so far

@TaitB There is one that is close, the Thule Epos # TH99XE. This rack has a total capacity of 140 lbs, and a max single-bike capacity of 75 lbs. So you could, for example, have two 70 lb bikes or a 75 lb and 65 lb bike.
