Question:

The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE would be a good choice. The only difference between the # HLY74FR and # HLY84FR bike racks is the hitch receiver size the rack is compatible with. The # HLY74FR will work with 1-1/4 or 2 inch hitches, while the # HLY84FR is only compatible with 2 inch hitches only. Either rack would work great for you, but the # HLY74FR would offer you some flexibility of you'll be using the rack on more than one vehicle.

Because the RadRunner has a step through frame, you'll want to use a frame adapter bar like part # HRBA-PRO which will provide the frame retention hooks a place to attach. I've linked to a video showing how the adapter bar works.
