BUZZ RACK 'Beetle 4x4' 2 bike spare tyre rack no. BRT402

The BuzzRack Beetle 4 x 4 is a robust rack that will carry up to two bikes on a spare wheel. It hooks over the tyre and attaches securely using three straps. The arms can be adjusted to fit vehicles with both left and right offset spare wheels. A large foam pad helps stabilise the bikes and keeps the pedals away from your tyre.

Other great features of this easy-to-use rack include:

• The rack is quick to mount to the tyre, the large adjustment knobs make it simple to fit
• Fits tyres between 205 and 255 width.
• The carrier only weighs 7 kgs
• Your bikes are held securely in place in anti-sway rubber cradles that keep your bikes separate - a safety strap is also included
• The cradles are lined with a soft rubber to protect your bike’s paintwork
• Supplied fully assembled – ready to mount to your tyre
• Folds flat for easy storage
• The arms can be folded when not in use, e.g. once you have taken your bikes off and parked the car
• Max capacity: 2 bikes (15kg each)

Most bike frames will fit securely onto the arms of this rack. An ‘artificial cross bar’ (listed below) will be required for some ladies and full-suspension bikes .

The bikes may obscure the lights and/or number plate on the back of this vehicle so you may also need a lighting board (listed below) and a replacement number plate if this is the case.

You may need to remove the spare wheel covers on some vehicles. This rack will not fit if you have a solid cover and on vehicles with a third brake light intergrated into the spare wheel.

Delivery FAQs

When will my order arrive?
There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays, except for postable items where Royal Mail has a Saturday delivery. Express Delivery orders placed on a Friday (before 1pm) should be delivered on the Monday or Tuesday, Express Delivery orders placed on a Saturday or Sunday should be delivered on the Tuesday or Wednesday. The arrangements for Very Heavy Items are different and are shown above.

What about Next Working Day delivery?
We have offered a reliable Next Working Day service for well over 20 years but, due to the pressure on the couriers caused by the coronavirus crisis and the huge increase in online shopping, we can no longer be confident about the delivery date, which is why we now call the service ‘Express delivery’. Most Express delivery orders will arrive on the next or second working day, but some will arrive on the second or third working day, or be split between these days. So-called “split deliveries” happen when the couriers do not have enough trailer space for everything that should be moved around the UK, so they will load what they can and leave the rest for the next trailer.

Is my delivery day guaranteed?
No retailer or courier company can ever "guarantee" a Next Working Day delivery. As well as split deliveries, all courier companies occasionally have the same transport problems as can happen to everyone else, including snow blocked roads, closed roads, traffic jams, mechanical breakdown, an inability to find the delivery address, or to gain access to it if, for example, it's in a block of flats. We work with some of the best couriers in the business, and overall they provide an outstanding service.

Do I need to be at home?
We are very flexible with our deliveries and will aim to deliver to an address which suits you – this does not need to be your home address. Goods can usually be left without signature - we prefer this with roof boxes. There's a "Special Delivery Instructions" box in the checkout area where we'll ask you to choose a typical instruction and then amend it to suit your particular requirements.

Payment options:

We take the following cards, and also PayPal. Please note that the entry on your card statement will be from "The Roof Box Company".
