Best Bike Rack Solution for Carrying Electra Townie Commute
Question:
Ok, ready.....I have an Electra Townie commute go that I would like to transport. The dimensions are Women’s Step-Thru Measurements: 19” Seat Tube, 24” Reach, 21” Stand Over Height, 29.5” Width, 76.5” Length. It has fenders and weighs about 58 pounds with the battery. We are trying to haul the bike on a utility trailer but cant find anything to work. Any suggestions? Your help would be most useful! We have 3 other bikes NOT electric that we are hauling as well. Thank you!

For your Electra Townie Commute there's only really one great solution for a bike rack and that's the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202. This rack was specifically designed for e-bikes like yours that are heavier and have odd shaped frames. The rack has a higher weight capacity and an included ramp to make loading the bike easier. Also the frame clamps are designed to be very universal which allows to easily fit your sloped frame. See attached picture to see how it attaches to a similar bike frame.
Other 2 bikes would need to be carried on a roof rack bike rack like the Frontloader part # Y02103.
