Description
The Thule Epos 3 Bike 979100 is a car bike rack designed for the towbar with a 13-pin connector. It is designed to carry up to three bikes safely, simply and conveniently, even heavy bikes such as electric bikes. Loading and unloading are facilitated by adjustable telescopic arms and elements to secure both the frame and the rear wheel. It includes a license plate holder and light/indicator repeater to comply with regulations when the original lights are obscured.
It is perfect for those who ride gravel bikes, mountain bikes, use electric bikes or have special frames, mudguards or pannier racks, and want a robust, versatile product that is also practical to use every day.
