Expert Reply:
I looked up the Rad Power Wagon, that spec shows a weight of 77 lbs. and depending on which model of the step through, those can weigh almost 70 lbs. Since you state that the other two are about 45 lbs. each, for that amount of combined weight you will be challenged to find a bike rack that has a listed weight rating needed.
You can possibly use the Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes, # NV22G-NA22G if you can reduce each bikes weight enough to meet the 40 lbs. per bike rating of this rack. It is generally recommended to remove the battery pack from most ebikes for transposition anyway. Sometimes, doing this, and removing the seat or any other item that can be easily removed and placed inside the vehicle, will reduce the bikes weight enough. The Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes comes in three color options, # NV22G-NA22G for gunmetal gray, # NV22B-NA22B for metallic black and # BA22B-BA02B for matte black.
I suggest, for a cost effective option, you consider the Detail K2 Mighty Multi Utility Trailer, # K2MMT4X6. This is a 6'x4' trailer that weighs only 305 lbs, and holds up to 1,295 lbs. There is also a 7-1/2' long model available too, # K2MMT5X7.
