It's a hugely versatile rack that can take a big range of different types of bikes. Whatever bike you have now (or in the future) the e-Scorpion XL should be able to accommodate it. Bike carriers that are strong enough for electric bikes tend to be pretty beefy themselves, so handling these heavier bike carriers can be awkward. The Scorpion is a solid carrier at 20.8kg, but because it folds up it's relatively very easy to move about and to fit, without straining your back. It's even got an integrated transport wheel so you won't have to do much lifting of the rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJust wheel it to the tow ball in the folded position – lift the handle above the tow ball clamp, place it over the tow ball – you'll be standing above the tow ball, not some distance behind it. You'll also find that the e-Scorpion XL stays level and does not crash to the ground when you let go of it. Tighten, lock, unfold – all parts click into place, including the number plate holder. It's particularly easy to tilt, with the tilt control just above the number plate. The lights are 5 function – they include a reversing light and a fog light if you have a 13 pin socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarries: 2 bikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax weight per bike: 30kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax load: 60kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax tyre size: 4.8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: 50mm ISO tow ball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 127 x 69 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTilting: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 20.8kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLighting board plug type: 13 pin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBike carrier to tow ball lock: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBike carrier to bike lock: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRamp: Specific ramp available: e-RAMP XL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe patented clamping system fits to all standard 50mm tow balls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Buzz e-Scorpion XL is particularly well balanced – you can let go once you've placed it on the tow ball, which makes fitting the rack much easier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou mount it to the tow ball from folded, this gives you loads of space to fit it to the car (no bashing shins or straining your back)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's easy to fit to the tow ball. Fitting is a matter of pushing down a lever, a really quick, easy and ergonomically satisfactory thing to do. Turn the key and the carrier is then locked to the tow ball.
