rotors7 Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 Looks to me, from the photo, like it's possible but with both bikes at an angle, on full lock and with the handle bars dropped ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleanorbust Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 I'm sure it can be done if the rear footwell was available, both bikes pointing forward with the front wheels dropped into the footwell on full lock. You could try lining up one bike against the van wall in this position and see if it leaves room for another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzuki250 Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 When I had a Berlingo, I put one inside and one on the back with a DC bike rack. It worked well 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smith335 Posted June 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 Hi Thanks for your comments. There is no access to where the rear foot wells would be , as the bulkhead is in the way and the floor extends over it a bit. I did think about a carrier on the back , which would solve the issue , but will cost more for the rack and the tow bar and electrics. and i would rather have the bikes out of sight in the van....

majesty Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 I don't know if it's of any interest, but I have a custom made bike rack for sale which has different removable arms to cater for different wheel base lengths for trials and enduro bikes. It's very solid. If you would like some more details and photo's,please PM me your direct e mail address and I can send you some. £40 collected from Leeds area, due to weight.

smith335 Posted June 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 I shall try to move the bike over to the right a bit more , and see if it makes a bit more room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupsbetter Posted June 9, 2023 Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 Another way to reduce the height of the bike without rotating the bars down is to use a ratchet strap under the fork leg/axle and up over the yoke to compress the forks down just while you’re travelling. That should give you space to move the bike in the pic over to the right a bit more and a bit more upright, and obviously second bike mirror image, possibly in back wheel first. Try to find a mate or friendly rider with a bike at a trial or practice area to have a go as a test. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
