jonny beta Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Would a trials bike fit in the back of a Peugeot Partner van. its only to carry one bike. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frontroomautos Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Yes no problem, worth buying a small ramp, it makes things so much more easier than wrestling it up the tail drop. Once you find the right nack it's simple & all you need, I know because I transport my bike in the window version with the double seats removed which just leaves one passenger single seat in the rear & it still goes in, I admit it's a bit of squeeze but when you are familiar with that it's easy, no problems.

jonny beta Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 do you have to remove the front passanger seat or anything to get the bike in? would it fit with a bulk head in? do you put the bike in straight or across the ways? thanks for help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frontroomautos Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I put the bike in corner to corner, I do not remove the front seat but do have to slide them forward a bit, it will go in with a bulkhead, corner to corner with the front wheel slightly turned. It looks worse than it is, it's surprising how much you can get in, it's technique really but once you have it down it's like tying your boot laces (natural & simple), persevere with it, before you decide you need a bigger van & spend unecessary money. Of course a dispatch or something similar would be ideal but why spend out on one unless you know you really want to. It works no problem honestly, ok you don't travel in plush spacious luxury but you can still get your kit and stuff in it, ok it will only take the bike and you but, you aren't planning on paying out for the conveinience of every man and hias dog are you? it's you that matters here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny beta Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 yeah all i want to put in it in me and the bike. in the peugeot partner spec it says the load capacity length is 1.7m and for a trials bike it is 1.3m for a beta or gasgas. was thinking the bike would fit in straight then if these figures are right. any chance you could take a photo of the bike in the van both sideways and straight with say one door closed just so i can get the perfect idea of what way the bike fits. thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frontroomautos Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Yor Beta or Gas Gas should, I get a Honda TLR in mine which is longer and the bars sit higher, so yes it will be even easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
