TOWBAR-MOUNTED RACK (scissor-type)
The rack can be used to carry up to 3 bikes. Simple and quick installation on the towbar ball. 2 straps to stiffen the entire rack mounting provide additional attachment. Upon removal, you can fold it, to save space when stored in the car boot. Bikes carried on this rack cover the rear lights and registration plate; hence, we suggest the optional purchase of a lighting board (light bar). Install the lighting board on the extreme bike carrier and provides a holder for the third (additional) registration plate.
ATTENTION! A greater amount of force may be required for the rack installation.

Important changes concerning the third (additional) registration plate!!
In anticipation of inquiries from our Clients, we inform you that as of 1 January the competent department of transportation is obliged to issue the third (additional) registration plate!! The existing loophole in the Polish traffic regulations has been finally sanctioned. Bikes carried at the back cover the registration plate (and lamps) in virtually every car. As the manufacturer, we provide a holder for the additional registration number, but it is the responsibility of every user to apply to their department of transportation for an additional plate and to attach it in order to be visible and “legible” for other road users and law enforcement officers. The costs of the plate is:
– PLN 40.00 (plate)
PLN 12.50 (stickers)
The changes are introduced with four ordinances: – of 9 September 2015 amending the Ordinance concerning the registration and marking of vehicles (Journal of Laws of 2015, item 1603); – of 24 August 2015 amending the Ordinance concerning the charges for issue of the registration book, temporary permit and registration plate (plates) of vehicles (Journal of Laws of 2015, item 1601); – of 24 August 2015 amending the Ordinance concerning the registration plate validation procedure as well as technical requirements and validation sticker models (Journal of Laws of 2015, item 1602); – of 3 November 2015 amending the Ordinance concerning the technical requirements for vehicles and scope of their required equipments (Journal. of Laws of 2015, item 1967).
The Ordinances enter into force on 1 January 2016.
