Buzzrack E-Scorpion xl 2

[Jimmy1959]

good morning.
I own a Specialized tero 3.0. I'm looking for a tow ball mount rack. I brought one, (a yakima), and unfortunately it was too small. Fortunately the shop I brought it from accepted the return. I am now looking at a buzz rack e-scorpion 2 xl. this is from a different retailer, who says he is 99% sure it will fit my bike, but can't accept a return if it doesn't. So I am a little bit gun shy to purchase a rack that won't fit. Does anybody have experience with this rack and bike? As I live in rural, I don't have too many options, and don't want to buy on line.
thank you in advance.

Buongiorno.
Possiedo una Specialized Tero 3.0. Sto cercando un portapacchi da gancio traino. Ne ho comprato uno (uno Yakima) e purtroppo era troppo piccolo. Fortunatamente il negozio da cui l'ho acquistato ha accettato il reso. Ora sto valutando un Buzz Rack E-Scorpion 2 XL. Questo è di un altro rivenditore, che dice di essere sicuro al 99% che si adatterà alla mia bici, ma non può accettare resi se non è così. Quindi sono un po' titubante nell'acquistare un portapacchi che non si adatta. Qualcuno ha esperienza con questo portapacchi e questa bici? Visto che vivo in campagna, non ho molte opzioni e non voglio acquistare online.
grazie in anticipo.

Ciao,io ho il buzzrack e- skorpion 2 ,lo uso da tre anni, è perfetto per l'ebike,la mia bici è taglia XL!

We use a E-Scorpion 2, which (looking at the Buzzrack) appears to have a wider span than the XL.
My bike has a wheelbase of 1202mm, and our rack's spec shows its max is 1384mm, but I think I would struggle with a narrower rack.
You don't say what size your bike is but an XL Tero has a wheelbase of 1252, but the tech drawing on their website shows it as only 1262 wide compared to the E-Scorpion 2 which is 1338mm.

TL DR IMO I think the XL is too small.

I've always had Buzz racks. Less refined than the German bling but never had any unexpected problems

Very strong with excellent quality welding. Carry 2 x Trek Rails (alloy) on our Buzzrack E-Scorpion 2 no probs.

Best way to transport E bikes without lifting

I realize this is kind of a generic question, but we are about to embark on the emtb trail and have no way of transporting the bikes - neither of our current cars can hold them nor are they ideal for putting a hitch on. So I will be getting a new vehicle and am open to anything. I'm looking...

I have two of them ,... the 1 bike version when I dont want to have friends....
and the two bike version when the misses wants to ride.

So far I have had only one problem , and It was my fault.
I over tightened the lever that stops it from swinging side to side and stripped the bolt.
You just have to pinch it up ... it's there to stop sideways movement not keep the rack on the ball... so just a little pinch.

I did manage to get another bolt and shaft at the hardware store that works..... Buzz rack in SA were no help in sourcing a spare part.

I attached some photos.

Other than that I have been very happy.... or yes one thing that also helps is if you get a strap arm thing ...(/picture) I got it off amazon and it locks , works so much better than the clamp on most bike racks.

It carries 2 Turbo Levo's Gen1 small and gen 3 large
