I have a great bike rack for your Townie Go 8D EQ Step Thru E-bike and it has plenty of capacity for your additional standard bike. It is the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack item # Y36FR.

I really like this bike rack because it uses ramps for easy loading and unloading and it has an adjustable clamping system that goes over the frame of the bike instead of an arm for the front tires. This will prevent you from damaging your bike's fenders. It has a tilt down function that will allow you to access your Honda's rear hatch as well.

It is recommended to remove your battery when transporting e-bikes on hitch mounted bike racks for safety purposes. You will want to mount the e-bike closest to your Honda CR-V.

I have attached a video of this rack below. We had a 2022 CR-V in the shop so this will give you an extremely accurate idea of what you're purchasing and how it will work with your Honda.
