{"product_id":"buzzrack-scorpion-pro-2-platform-rack","title":"Buzzrack Scorpion PRO 2 Platform Rack","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe SCORPION PRO is a fully-accessorised bike carrier specially designed for larger or heavier bikes, including electric ones. With a frame shape that makes fitting step-through bikes a breeze, it can hold almost any model you currently have or may acquire in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith its solid build the carrier is no lightweight, yet it remains easy to handle thanks to its compact size when folded. You'll be able to stay close to the tow ball to put it in place, thus preserving your back, and you can wheel it about for easy storage. The E-Scorpion also holds its weight on the ball while you let go to tighten, lock and unfold. You won't even have to lift your bike: just use the ramp to put it in place and then place the ramp back into the carrier. Once securely fastened, you're ready to go, the added anti-sway device will keep everything firmly in place during transport. And they've also included an anti-theft cable so you can travel worry-free. It's particularly easy to tilt, with the tilt control just above the number plate. The lights have 5 functions – including 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\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: 50mm ISO tow ball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 134 x 72 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTilting: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 21.5kg\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\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh end tow ball attachment: the most important point when choosing a bike rack is having a secure system to fix it to the car. Their \"Buzz high tech conic system\" is one of the latest technologies available on the market. It is based on the Buzz Conic System and the experience gained over the past 17 years producing it. This very simple system can secure 3 e-bikes to a simple 50mm diameter steel ball and pass all European certification requirements as well as the new ISO 11154\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned to carry e-bikes and heavy bikes: the distance between the bikes is large enough to eliminate interference between wide motors, hubs, pedals or forks (30cm for Scorpion 2 – 22cm between first and second bike and 19cm between second and third bike for Scorpion 3)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolding for easy storage: fold the wheel support tubes by pulling on the release button, turn the vertical clamp frame 90 degrees and slide it down and your rack will sit nicely on its 4 wheels, allowing it to be moved without any effort and kept stable during storage or transportation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTilt down for tailgate access: you can gently tilt the platform by pulling the lever behind the licence plate support or simply push the bottom of the licence plate to operate the tilting mechanism. Thanks to this well-balanced mechanism, you will not have to support the full weight of the bikes to tilt the rack, even with a full load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrong bike attachment: each bike is fixed using a locking clamp designed with a soft rubber pad to protect the frame. The clamp can fit a tube size from a diameter of 25mm to 60mm. In the 3 bike versions, the 3rd clamp can be removed using a simple clip and positioned onto the frame differently for an easier loading of the bike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh upright sliding frame fit for all bikes: e-mountain bikes can be quite tall and the best way to hold a bike frame is at its highest point. The frame slides vertically and is wide enough so the attachment clamps can be positioned perfectly to catch the bike frame. The adjustable frame also accommodates step-through bikes, where the best possible attachment point will usually be the seat tube. In the PRO version, the frame shape will make this fitting even easier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge wheel support for tyres up to 4\" size: the wheel supports can hold any type of tyres and they're good looking too! They integrate a hook point to fix either a ramp or an antisway device that will prevent lateral movement of the front wheel. Both are available as accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrong ratchet straps and protective pads: the easiest way to fix the bike wheels is using ratchet straps. At BuzzRack they believe in simple systems; the easiest way to tighten the ratchet is to pull on it, it won't jam from the dirt you can get in the back of your car. A protective rubber pad will help prevent scratches on your nice aluminium or carbon rims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront wheel anti-sway device: this feature is included with the PRO version and available as a kit for the LITE version, designed to prevent the front wheel from moving too much during transportation. It provides a second attachment point using a ratchet strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated aluminium ramp: the Scorpion PRO has its own integrated ramp. Made of 2 pieces of aluminium extrusions that connect together, the ramp is simply positioned at the end of the wheel support and requires no tool. You can securely move your bike along the ramp. Once the bikes are installed, you can remove the ramp and place the pieces together in the receiving plastic brackets at the rear of the bike rack, securing them with the rubber straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking: the clamps holding the bike frames and the tow ball attachment system can be locked with the same key\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking cable: as an additional safety measure, the Scorpion PRO comes with a standard 10mm diameter double loop cable that can be used with the same locking cap that secures the vertical frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLights: this rack is supplied with standard 5 function lights and a 13 pin plug. Electrical adapters are available for those with 7 pin systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLicence plate: the rack comes equipped with a special removable support in which to slide European licence plates. It is also available as a spare part for those who have several cars – and thus licence plates – and want to easily switch the rack from one to the other\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRack structure: the structure of this rack is made entirely out of steel. It has been designed to pass the latest international standard (ISO 11154), following their own internal tests. The coating provides high protection against corrosion and is UV resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtective cover: a protective cover hides and protects the mechanical functions of the rack from dirt and water and includes a 13 pin plug receiver to facilitate storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafety strap: all products come with a strap for added security\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe wheel holders will accommodate larger wheelbases; up to 138.4cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDifferent styles of ramps are available separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequires 65mm clearance from centre of tow ball to rear of vehicle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot suitable for trailers, campers, or RVs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Buzzrack","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67385855279149,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/7052\/5229\/files\/buzzrack-scorpion-pro-2-platform-rack-tow-ball-2-bike-black-1.jpg?v=1787279886","url":"https:\/\/www.mtbdirect.com.au\/products\/buzzrack-scorpion-pro-2-platform-rack","provider":"MTB Direct Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
