Buzz Rack Buzzy Bee Platform Hitch Bike Rack

The Buzz Rack Buzzy Bee H is a simple, strong, and secure hitch mounted platform bike rack offering excellent value for money.

The Buzzy Bee offers convenient mounting, basic functions, and compact storage. The rubber pad provides a good solution for mounting carbon frames as it does not apply pressure to the carbon tubes.

Not suitable for trailers, campers, or RV's

Who's this item for: These racks are perfect for anyone looking for a compact platform rack to transport bikes up to 20kg in weight. You will need a vehicle with a hitch receiver to fit it though.

How many bikes does it carry: 2 or 4 bikes depending on the model.

How does it carry them:

• The wheel holders will accommodate most wheelbases, even small children’s bikes. You can reverse the wheel supports for the really small bikes.
• The long rubber-padded wheel straps hold tyres up to 3.25” wide; pull on them to tighten, and use the quick release to loosen
• The Buzzy Bee is entirely suitable for carbon frame bikes; the rubber bike frame pads and high resistance straps hold any type of tube firmly but gently.
• The down tube size is limited to 75mm diameter (3″); whatever bikes you have, always load the heaviest bikes nearest to the car
