I have a great American made bike rack for you, however RockyMounts does not make their racks in Colorado they are just based out of there.
Since you are looking for a bike rack for two 2 Townie 5i electric bikes you will want the Saris Freedom 2 Bike Platform Rack item # SA4412B. This bike rack has a frame clamp design which allows it to attach to alternative shaped frames like your Townie. The wheel cradles will secure your bike and completely avoid your fenders. This is by far the best option we have for Townie E-Bikes.
The Saris Freedom 2 Bike Platform Rack item # SA4412B has a 60 lbs capacity per bike and weighs 29 lbs. It is made in the USA and it will save you some money compared to the RockyMounts.
To secure your E-Bike and Freedom Bike Rack from theft, I recommend using item # SA3022 and or item # SA981.
I have included a link below for a review video we made of this rack.
