 Posted: 22:30 - 07 May 2009 Post subject: What vans will fit a bike in the back? |
 |

As above, for example an escort van? or a small astra van etc? I was looking into buying another car+trailer, but really the amount I use it I might as well just buy a shitter of a van and use that with the added bonus of carrying bikes (hopefully)

You'll fit 1 maybe 2 bikes depending on make/model into a Fiat Scudo (Peugeot expert, citroen dispatch)
One of the guys I stunt with fits a hornet 600 into an new style Vauxal Combo (too tired to spell the damn thing lol) van with the front seat folded down, it's a bit of a squeeze not sure if a sports bike would go in or not.
Had 2 bikes in a Ford Transit Connect before, I'd say 1 comfortably though.
You'll fit 2 easily and maybe 3 in a Transit/Ducato/Transporter/Vito.
I personally have had a Scudo and transporter for regular bike use. I also have a transit and fiat ducato both of which are equally good for carrying bikes about.
If you're after something cheap you might pick up an old single cab pick up like a beat up VW Caddy (altho these are popular iconic trucks which go for a lot of money when done up) or a Skoda felica truck etc... might be worth looking into.
Pretty certain you won't get one in a VW Caddy VAN or the old style VW combo. ____________________ Current Toys: 06 Yamaha WR250F | Nissan 350Z GT | Tech 4 Homes |

you can fit any of the bikes ive ever owned in the back of a VW sharan, upright.
its a squeeze to get it in there, but with the sidestand down and seatbelts on it, its fine. ____________________ Blue_SV650S wrote: it was a sh1te wheelie, but it proves that he can get it up in 3rd and can do angles.

Ditto with Toyota Previa. Bit of a squeeze, but for the occasional journey quite possible. A word of warning though - FFS strap it down properly - and I don't just mean straps from side to side. Having over 100kg of bike flying towards the windscreen the first time you brake hard is not fun!

My race team transports about six karts (three down either side) that are about 4 feet or so wide each in a Merc Sprinter, could fit about six bikes in that.  ____________________ "Four wheels move the body, two wheels move the soul."
