The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2-Bike Carrier for Electric Bicycles, part # HLY84FR can accommodate both of your Leisger CD5 electric bikes. In my research I found that the bikes weigh about 52 lbs each so the weight is not a problem with this bike carrier as it can handle bikes that weigh up to 80 lbs each.

You do want to make sure you have enough clearance at the back of your RAV4 when carrying bikes. You will need a tape measure and a straight edge like a yardstick or a dowel. Place the straight edge vertically against the back rear bumper or spare tire, letting it extend below the trailer hitch receiver opening. Then measure from the center of the hitch pin to the straight edge. This will give you the distance you need to clear the back of your RAV4 or spare tire. The # HLY84FR carrier has 7-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to closest part of rack.
