BuzzRack E-Hornet 2T E-Bike Car Rack (2 Bike)

BUZZRACK E-HORNET 2 E-BIKE CAR RACK - 2 BIKE

E-HORNET series offer convenient mounting, user-friendly functions, heavy duty construction for carrying e-bikes.

The large wheel support allow stable mounting of tires up to 4″ size.

The locking clamp is the perfect solution to attach the bike frame. Simple design, strong and durable.

DESCRIPTION

ASSEMBLY:

Even though it is not assembled, E-HORNET 2 is very easy to put together: assemble the wheel support frame to the base using 4 screws, assemble the light support with 2 more screws, install the license plate, fit the rack to the tow ball with no tools needed and you are ready to go!

FITTING:

When you first place the E-HORNET 2 on the tow ball it supports itself – you can let go of it and it won’t fall to the ground. You’ll then take the weight again, spin the tightening knob until it’s tight, and lock it. BUZZRACK‘s carriers comply with the very exacting standard XPR-18-904-4 and therefore include an anti-sway tensioner; this has an integrated handle and 2 or 3 turns are usually sufficient. The video below shows the fitting to the car and the installation of bikes.

SECURE:

Simply position the bike on the wheel support. Adjust the clamp position by sliding it around the vertical tubular frame to find the perfect fit with the bike frame. Clamp the frame, attach the wheels using the ratchet straps, lock the clamps.

LIGHTS:

The E-HORNET 2 comes with a 7 pin lighting system. 7 pin to 13 pin adapter is not included but can be purchased as an option. (3 function 7 pin flat plug for AUS/NZ)

TILT:

Tilting is easy, and is very well balanced even with a full load. The HORNET 2 sits quite high on the tow ball, and the tilt function is optimised to prevent the lights from hitting the road surface, while still using the weight of the bikes to help bring the bike platform back to the level again in a controlled way. But this geometry doesn’t allow for tall vertical tailgates to be opened – e.g. VW Transporter T5 and T6.

KEY FEATURES

• The wheel holders will accommodate most wheelbases (not tandem!), even small children’s bikes. Check technical data below
• The long rubber-padded wheel straps hold tyres up to 4” wide; pull on them to tighten, and use the quick release to loosen
• The lockable frame arms hold your bikes securely and can be attached to any part of the frame, or the seat post. They can be locked using the same key as the tow ball attachment system.
• The maximum permitted load is 60kg, with no bike weighing more than 30kg.
  

BASIC SPEC

• The patented conical fitting fits to all tow balls, even to the bolt-on tow balls we see occasionally that do not meet standards for neck length or ball diameter.
• A reminder that it locks to the tow ball.
• The E-HORNET 2 sits high on the tow ball, well clear of speed bumps and other hazards such as steep ferry ramps.
• Dimensions: 127cm wide x 70cm deep (measured from the centre of the tow ball to the outside edge of the number plate holder).
• Weight: 15.8kg
• The build quality – tube bending, welding, rust proofing, painting, component quality, is exemplary. The whole carrier looks and feels like the class act it is. All tools you might need are provided.
• All parts are replaceable if e.g. someone forgets that a tow bar carrier is fitted and reverses into a wall – which happens!
• A loading ramp is available separately.
• Not suitable for trailers, campers, or RVs
