There is one bike rack I really like for that will work great for your Electra Townie Go! 8i bike, which is from Saris:

- Saris Freedom Bike Rack # SA4412B

The Freedom has a 60 lb per-bike capacity, which can handle your Townie, and has cradles that you can position at different spots that allow it to grasp your Townie's step-through frame. It also weighs just 22-1/2 lbs so it is extremely lightweight, making it much easier to handle than any other bike rack capable of carrying your Townie.

The Freedom also has a shank that rises 8 inches for optimal ground clearance to help ensure it doesn't touch the ground. The rack does come with an anti-rattle hitch pin, but you can use the rack to your hitch and your bikes to the rack by adding the Saris Cable Lock # SA981 and Hitch Tite Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock # SA3022.

I have added a couple links below to video reviews for you to check out as well of the - Saris Freedom Bike Rack # SA4412B.
