trapezeartist Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Citroen Berlingo or Peugeot Partner seem to be the obvious choices for a bike-carrying van. However a lot of the older/cheaper ones are in an awful state as they seem to appeal to builders. I've noticed a few nice Renault Kangoos advertised which look to be in much cleaner condition. Perhaps they appeal more to flower shops and the like. Has anyone used a Kangoo? Does a bike (just one) fit in OK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stroke4stroke Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 From memory the Kangoo was narrower than the others but once saw two adult bikes and a kid's 80 in the Kangoo car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hartzero Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 I'm using a Kangoo 4x4 Van. Best 'Trials Transporter' I've ever owned. One Trials bike with ease, two if you take out front wheel and mudguard on one of the bikes....... best of all never get stuck in muddy start fields..... and great for getting around venues to mark out etc......

trapezeartist Posted February 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Is the 4x4 on the short wheelbase or long one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trapezeartist Posted March 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Well, in the end I bought a car version of a Berlingo. Far better condition for the money than any van I saw, and a petrol to boot! Now I just need the bike to put in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stroke4stroke Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Having owned two diesel Berlingae I'd be interested to know what consumption you end up getting with the petrol version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too early to say. I'm hoping for somewhere in the 30s. Plus the benefit of no rattling clanking diesel in the front. Plus the warm feeling that I haven't asphyxiated any small children on my way to a trial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
