E-Hornet 2 Platform Rack

The HORNET 2 is a really well designed, simple and strong e-bike carrier; easy to use and very good value for your money. The E-HORNET 2 is very strong, stable and easy to use, with wide wheel supports that allow it to mount most regular bike sizes and tyre sizes.

Features

• The wheel holders will accommodate most wheelbases (not tandem!), even small children's bikes
• 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
• 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
• 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
• The build quality – tube bending, welding, rust proofing, painting, component quality – is exemplary. All tools you might need are provided
• All parts are replaceable if, for example, someone forgets that a tow bar carrier is fitted and reverses into a wall – which happens
• A loading ramp is available separately
• The maximum permitted load you can carry is also determined by the tow bar nose weight; you will need to check you don't exceed this before using any tow ball mounted bike carrier
• Requires 65mm clearance from centre of tow ball to rear of vehicle
• Not suitable for trailers, campers, or RVs
