Here is the rack I use for our two Magnum Ui5's: http://amzn.to/1Q8KIna
It will hold up to two 60 pound ebikes with either a 1 and 1/4 inch hitch receiver or with an optional metal apaptor for 2" hitches, so it should work if you remove the battery from the Radrover first. You can also order optional wheel cradles for fat tires.

I use the kuat nv 2.0
You can trim the front fender to make it work with the kuat.
I did a few videos on my youtube channel about how to trim a fender and the quality of the kuat nv 2.0

Did you order the fat tire adapter?

I have the Saris Freedom SuperClamp 4 bike rack for 2" hitch (version that clamp on wheels). Because of this design is the reason I can't upgrade to the new Radrover full fenders. You have to purchase the Fat tire wheel holder ($47 for two trays, Amazon) for any tires larger than 700c. The Fat tire wheel holder can support any size wheel smaller than 5". I have my trays spaced at max distance apart to fit my Radrover on the Saris. If you have a second bike with a longer wheel base might not fit on the Saris (like a Radwagon).

Saris also makes the Freedom Super Clamp 2 rack for 2 bikes and can mount on either 1 1/4 or 2" hitch. I bought one about a year ago and have had nothing but good to say about it.

I bought this: (Link Removed - No Longer Exists)
I wasn't going to pay $300/$400+ for a light weight bicycle rack. This works great for my RR. I did a little bit of modification. Moved/removed the cross bolts for better tire fitment. Had to drill two additional hose for a fitment that suited my aesthetic . Your requirements may vary.
Yes, I know, fits only one bike. But I'm a solo rider and it suits me.
I've covered over 2000 miles without any failures. It's built like a tank. I used the ramp once or twice. However, I find that I can lift the rear tire onto the rack first and easily lift the front tire into its place.

It's not cheap and to accommodate the fat tire bikes, you need to purchase a fat tire adapter kit. It can take up to two 75# bikes -- so handles the RadRover with ease.
It's a little heavy at 47 lbs, but is super well made (in USA), installs quickly, easy to put the bikes on and secure them, and it folds up when not in use on the vehicle and even more for storage.
Overall I am very pleased.
