The best option for a bike rack that will work with your Toyota RAV4 is from Saris, called the Freedom, and is the following part number:

- Saris Freedom 2-Bike Rack # SA4412B

At 22-1/2 lbs the Freedom # SA4412B is extremely lightweight but still has a 60 lb per bike capacity, which is perfect for heavy electric bikes. The rack is extremely stable due to its included anti-rattle hitch pin and padded cradles that grip your bikes by the frame.

This bike rack also has a lever that you only need to push to fold the rack up or tilt it down, which is a quality-of-life feature that makes it really easy to use. It comes with the aforementioned anti-rattle hitch pin, but you can use the Hitch Tite Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock # SA3022 to lock the rack to your hitch and the Saris Cable Lock # SA981 to lock your bikes to the rack.
