BuzzRack Eazzy 2T Car Rack (2 Bike)

ASSEMBLY

The Eazzy 2 is supplied fully assembled, except for the lights which are attached with only 1 screw each side (which makes these lights particularly easy to replace if damaged), and there’s 1 bolt for the number plate holder – all fittings and a tool are supplied.

Fitting to the car

You fit the Eazzy 2 in its folded state, which leaves you with all the space you need to work on the tow ball fitting system. When you first place it 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 wheel 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.

Lighting system

The Eazzy 2 comes with a 13 pin lighting system, including a reversing light and UK compliant fog lights). 13 pin to 7 pin adapter is not included.

Tilting

Tilting is easy, and is very well balanced even with a full load. The Eazzy 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.

FEATURES

• The wheel holders will accommodate all wheelbases, even small children’s bikes
• The long wheel rubber-padded wheel straps hold tyres up to 3.25” wide; pull on them to tighten, and use the quick release to loosen
• The Eazzy 2 is entirely suitable for carbon frame bikes; the rubber-padded bike frame cradles rotate 360 degrees and, again using rubber-padded straps, they hold any type of tube firmly but gently.
• The maximum permitted load is 40kg, with no bike weighing more than 20kg
• Electric bikes up to 20kg may be carried, although the Eazzy series is not optimised for e-bikes (see E-Scorpion for e-bikes); the down tube size is limited to 75mm diameter (3?); whatever bikes you have, always load the heaviest bikes nearest to the car
• There is a built in locking cable to secure your bikes; as usual with cable locks, it’s a deterrent only.
• 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 Eazzy 2 sits high on the tow ball, well clear of speed bumps and other hazards such as steep ferry ramps.
• 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.
