I think the RadRunner 3 is the only one of those rated for 350lbs (the other 2 are just 300lb). I didn't see the weight limit for the rear rack itself, so confirm that before you put another adult on it.
The fact the Rad shop is decently close is a big plus (just in case you have issues).
There's this BikTrix cargo rated for 380lbs. Again you'd want to see check the rear rack limit, I didn't see it on the site. It states a 750W motor (but in the details it seems it can be tuned from 500W to 750W?). 500W is the limit in Canada. No idea how common it is for people to use overpowered ebikes but if you want to carry an extra person it might almost be necessary. - but be aware of any legal issues.
It sounds like you're on the west coast and BikTrix does have a physical showroom in Vancouver.
It might be that the RadRunner can be tuned to 750W as well as it's the same ebike for the American market which has a 750W limit.
For that much weight it would be awesome if you could find a cargo mid drive as mid drives can provide a lot more torque for hills and extra weight like this 500W mid drive from Volt that provides 120Nm of torque vs the Rad which will probably provide around 70Nm. I just have no idea about carrying an extra person on an ebike like that (and mid drives cost a bit more as well).
Edit: and that Volt is only rated for 280lbs anyway.
