The caveat with having an E-Bike rack is that not all racks are approved to be mounted on the back of a trailer. The rack we have available that is approved for mounting on the back of a trailer and can support heavier bikes is the Lets Go Aero V-Lectric FAT PRO Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # LGA77FR. After researching your particular bike model, I noticed that it weighs 67 lbs. This rack has a capacity of 75 lbs and will accommodate tires up to 4.5 inches. You can mount this to the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701 which adjusts to fit 18"-51" wide trailers.

Another option to carry your Radrover E-BikeThe is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HLY84FR. This carrier has an 80lb per bike capacity for a total capacity of 160lbs and accommodates tires up to 5 inches wide. In order to use this rack with your setup you will need to mount this rack in front of your teardrop trailer using the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount # D210 . This is a 2" hitch receiver that is rated for 750lbs tongue weight / 7500lbs gross towing weight. It has a raised hitch receiver at the top that can carry a bike rack and a ball mount on the bottom to tow your trailer.
