Hello Paul, thanks for reaching out. Your Americano step through bike has fenders, correct? If so, what I recommend is the Thule Epos Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH99XE. This uses a clamp that attaches to the frame, so fenders will not be an issue. The clamps are adjustable so they can work with step through and standard frames. The wheel straps are also adjustable so they can accommodate different wheelbases up to 53" maximum. The rack folds up nice and compact for storage which is nice if you are limited on garage space. I also like that installation of the rack requires no tools.
There is also an optional LED Light Kit # TH79XE and loading ramp # TH43VA.
Take a look at the video I linked. It will show you a more in-depth review of the rack.

Hey Paul, how did the Thule Epos rack end up working with your Americano step-through and hybrid bikes? It sounds like the adjustable clamps and wheel straps could make loading both pretty simple. Your feedback could really help others choosing a rack for mixed bike styles.
