About Eazzy2 Cykelholder
Eazzy2 er en cykelholder til biler, der monteres på anhængertrækkets kugle. To cykler af forskellig form og størrelse kan transporteres, op til en samlet last på 40 kilo. Et hurtigt snap-system til trækkuglen gør, at holderen kan monteres og afmonteres med et enkelt snap. Rammen kan vippes, så bagagerummet kan åbnes uden at fjerne holderen. Et indbygget håndtag, en U-formet styreskinne og hjul letter montering, læsning og opbevaring. Der anvendes stål og plast, og robotsvejsning øger stivheden samt reducerer vibrationer og støj.
