About Eazzy2 Portabiciclette
Eazzy2 è un portabiciclette per automobili con montaggio sulla sfera del gancio di traino. Può trasportare due biciclette di forme e dimensioni diverse, fino a un carico complessivo di 40 chilogrammi. Un sistema rapido a scatto sulla sfera del gancio consente di montare e rimuovere il portabiciclette con un semplice gesto. Il telaio può essere inclinato per aprire il bagagliaio dell'auto senza dover rimuovere il portabiciclette. Una maniglia integrata, una guida a forma di U e le ruote agevolano l'installazione, il carico e lo stoccaggio. Sono impiegati acciaio e plastica, mentre la saldatura robotizzata aumenta la rigidità e riduce vibrazioni e rumorosità.
