Can a RadCity or RadWagon Tow a bike trailer?

I am curious if these electric bikes can tow a bike trailer like a Burley D'Light? Probably weighs 80#s with both my kids in it. I like that idea better than having the child seat on the back of the bike itself. Then I could easily attach/detach the trailer.
 
I have the Rover and pull a trailer while riding with family. Only one child in our case but hardly notice he's back there. As long as the tires are inflated to proper levels, you should be fine.
 
How did you attach it? I've heard that you shouldn't use an axle hitch because that would put more strain on the axle with the motor already straining it.
I've searched around and it looks like the Burley classic hitch would likely not fit because of the kickstand attachment.
 
To me it would be about assuring ample power at low speeds. To do that, I would be looking at bikes with geared rear hubs.
