The max wheelbase for the Hollywood Racks RV Rider # HLY64FR is 60". Even though this may seem like it is too small for your RadRover, I think that we are getting our terms mixed up and I'm pretty sure that your bike will fit just fine.

When we talk about wheelbase we take that measurement from the center of the front axle to the center of the rear axle. I'm thinking that you measured from the outside edge of your front tire/wheel to the outside edge of your rear tire/wheel because a 70" wheelbase is pretty massive and is only found on bikes with a bigger profile like recumbent bikes. When I looked up your bikes online it looks like the RadRover 5 wheelbase should actually be 45" and the RadRover Step-Thru 1 should be 46".
