BuzzRack Buzzybee 4 – Tow Ball-Mounted Platform Rack: Economical and Secure Transport for 4 Bikes
Looking for a simple and cost-effective way to transport four bikes? Look no further than the BuzzRack Buzzybee 4 ! This tow ball-mounted platform rack prioritizes essential features and affordability, making it ideal for cyclists who don’t require a tilting mechanism for boot access.
Compact Design, Big Capability
The Buzzybee 4 boasts a surprisingly compact design for a 4-bike carrier. Weighing just 15.5kg, it’s easy to handle and store. Despite its compact size, the rack accommodates most bike sizes, ensuring compatibility with your cycling companions’ rides.
Simple Assembly and User-Friendly Operation
Assembling the Buzzybee 4 is a breeze. With clear instructions and minimal components, you can have it ready to go in no time. The wheel support frame attaches to the base with eight screws, followed by the light support using two additional screws. Simply slide in the plastic wheel supports, install the license plate, and attach the rack to the tow ball – no tools required!
The fitting process is equally user-friendly. Once positioned on the tow ball, the Buzzybee 4 self-supports, allowing you to let go without worry. Tighten the knob and secure the lock for a safe and secure connection. The rack complies with the rigorous XPR-18-904-4 standard, including an integrated anti-sway tensioner for added stability.
Securely Transporting Your Bikes
The adjustable wheel holders accommodate various wheelbases, including those of children’s bikes. For exceptionally small bikes, simply reverse the wheel supports. Long, rubber-padded wheel straps hold tires up to 3.25 inches wide securely. These straps tighten with a simple pull and release easily with the quick-release mechanism.
The Buzzybee 4 is ideal for carbon frame bikes. The high-resistance straps and rubber bike frame pads gently yet firmly secure any type of tube, eliminating concerns about frame damage. The rack boasts a maximum load capacity of 60kg, with a 20kg limit for each individual bike. For optimal weight distribution, load the heaviest bikes closest to the car.
Additional Features and Considerations
The patented conical fitting ensures compatibility with virtually all tow balls, including those with non-standard neck lengths or ball diameters. Additionally, the rack itself locks to the tow ball for enhanced security. Ground clearance is excellent, allowing you to navigate speed bumps and steep ferry ramps without scraping the rack.
The Buzzybee 4 prioritizes quality in every aspect. From precision tube bending and welding to rust-proofing, painting, and high-grade components, this rack is built to last. All necessary tools are included for assembly, and all parts are replaceable for extended service life.
Important Considerations
- The maximum down tube size the rack can accommodate is 75mm (3 inches) in diameter.
- The maximum permitted load capacity is also determined by the tow bar nose weight. Consult your vehicle’s manual to ensure compatibility.
- The rack requires a minimum of 65mm clearance from the center of the tow ball to the rear of your vehicle.
- The Buzzybee 4 is not suitable for trailers, campers, or RVs.
With its user-friendly design, secure functionality, and budget-conscious price tag, the Buzzybee 4 is the perfect solution for cyclists seeking a reliable and economical way to transport four bikes.
