We don't have information on bike specific fits, but the Hollywood Racks RV Rider # HLY64FR offers one of the most flexible solutions to hold bikes with different frame styles. Because of this you shouldn't have any issues using it with your Rad Mini Step-Through and the clamps can be adjusted to work with most step-through frames. I've linked a photo one of our neighbors sent in of them using the RV Rider on a similar bike with an aggressive step-through frame and not needing an adapter bar for you to check out.

If you decided that you wanted to use one anyways, the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's, Children's, and Alternative Frame Bikes # 64005 is what I recommend using.
