Buzzrack Eazzy H3 Foldable Platform Bike Carrier
Product Code: 21394Overview:
Fully foldable EAZZY H series offer convenient mounting, user-friendly functions and compact storage. The ratchet cradle is the perfect solution to attach the bike frame. It is also a great solution for carbon frames as it does not apply pressure to the carbon tubes.
Features:
The BUZZRACK Eazzy H3 is a really well designed, well engineered piece of kit; smart, sophisticated and very compact.
Basic ergonomics
Easy! The Eazzy H3 is very easy to fold which makes for easy lifting, easy carrying, easy fitting, easy storage in the car boot when you are out for a ride.
Folds to store in the car.
More detail about folding: because the two wheel support trays fold into the bike holder uprights (there are straps to hold them closed) the Eazzy H3 is very easy to carry around, easy to fit and remove, and easy to store. The metal parts are steel, not aluminium, but because its a vertical 2-handed lift it feels surprisingly light, and there should be no strain on your back when moving it and fitting it.
Key features of the Eazzy H3
Assembly: The Eazzy H3 is supplied fully assembled.
Fitting to the car: You fit the Eazzy H3 in its folded state, which leaves you with all the space you need to work on the hitch mount fitting system. BUZZRACKs carriers comply with the standard XPR-18-904-4.
Tilting: Tilting is easy, and is very well balanced even with a full load. The Eazzy H3 sits quite high on the receiver hitch. It uses the weight of the bikes to tilt the platform and help bring it back to the level again in a controlled way.
Carrying bikes
- The wheel holders will accommodate all wheelbases, even small childrens 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 H3 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 60kg (132lbs), with no bike weighing more than 20kg (44lbs)
- 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, its a deterrent only.
Other features and basic specifications
- It fits 1 1/4" and 2" hitch receivers. The aluminium adapter for 2" receivers allows a strong and secure fit. The locking hitch bolt prevents rattling. The locking is protected by a waterproof cap.
- The Eazzy H3 sits high, well clear of speed bumps and other hazards such as steep ferry ramps.
- Weight: 18.2kg (40lbs)
- 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!
