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.
