The extra heavy-duty construction makes this carrier ideal for heavy mountain bikes and E-Bikes and even when fully loaded, the convenient foot pedal allows the carrier to be tilted away from the vehicle for access to your gear.Attachment is made easy by the large clamp lever that empowers you to clamp the carrier tightly to your tow ball and the key-lock prevents the carrier from being removed from the vehicle.
