Electra produces many versions of their Townie Series of bikes for both men and women. These vary in their frame sizes and shapes and in their weights.

The Swagman XC 2-Bike Platform Rack # S64650 that you referenced will accept bikes up to 35-lbs in weight (each) and with wheelbases up to 51-1/2-inches as measured from the two tires' contact points when resting on the ground. If your particular Townie bikes have weights and dimensions that are compatible with this carrier then it is a fine choice. The XC offers an angled shank with 4-inches of rise to improve ground clearance when pulling up hills or into driveways. A video is linked to illustrate the carrier's features.

You can use a locking anti-rattle pin with this rack, part # S64029, to secure it to your hitch, or if you prefer you can use a hitch/cable lock # S64031 that also allows you to lock the bikes.
