Trials Transport

Is anyone using a Peugeot Bipper to transport a bike? Are they big enough? I'm only transporting one bike.

As i struggled to find concrete evidence before i bought the van just thought id share a pic of two bikes comfortably in the back of a doblo.

I thought some of you might like to see how I transport my bike around. I don’t have a truck or trailer and was not even considering getting one just to haul my bike around, so I designed and built this one and have used it, with no issues, for about a year now. I’ve read others describe something similar, but I had never seen photos of what it looked like, so as an architect, I thought I’d design and make my own that’s simple, effective and affordable. I drive a Mini Cooper S and first looked at off the shelf carriers but all I found, in the US, were overly large and cumbersome plus they required a 2” hitch setup. Also, with the hitch I put on the car, the only…

Hi, I bought a bike rack from Dave Cooper to transport my Rev3 on my Honda Civic and as told to by them I bought the Bak-Rak swan neck to flange converter. Which is apparently what is needed for the standard Honda Civic tow bar. I fitted it as instructed but the rack sags back (away from the car) even before the bike goes on, and then twists back more when the bike is on. The whole unit also rocks a lot. I explained this to Dave Cooper who told me it was a Bak-Rak issue and Bak-Rak told me it's fine and does this. Does anyone have experience in this or suggestions on how to make it feel more secure? Thanks in advance for any help.

Does anyone know the rough tank range of a 250 (ish) pure trials bike? I know its a bit of a piece of string question but could you get twenty miles out of it? or is it a 5 miles of pootling round type thing? Thanks

Hi All I am thinking of purchasing a ford transit courier sport similar to the photo I have added below, does anyone know if a trials bike will fit in to the back of it please, cheers.

Hello All, Just getting started in trials and I'm looking at the best way to transport bikes in the back of a van. The proworks quickload system looks like it would be ideal but I'm not sure if trials bikes would be too narrow for the footpegs to fit into the footpeg clamps, the system looks like it's designed mainly for MX/enduro bikes. Could anyone give me an idea of the width of trials bikes from footpeg tip to footpeg tip, or let me know if the quickload system is already in use by anyone on the forum? The bikes I'm looking at are a Beta 80 junior for the lad and a 250/300 (not sure what manufacturer yet) for myself. Below are the dimensions of the 3 proworks qui…

I moved to the USA on a 3 month work detail and here I am 20+ years later, married, kids, dogs, mortgage……but I left my love back in the UK. I am looking to be reunited with my beloved 1978 Montesa Cota 348. I would love this bike to be my next rebuild project. Does anyone have any bike shipping experience? This bike has been sitting for 30 years in a garage (it was not ridden the last few years of me being in the UK) should I dismantle it and ship part by part? Should I ship it complete? Can I get customers clearance without a title? I have had a couple of quotes that want to wrap the bike in bubble wrap and build a customized crate along with all those costs! …

Hi there I know this has been covered before, but just to check ! I currently use a Nissan NV 200 and can get 2 bikes in no problem. I fancy a VW caddy, but the short wheelbase. I’ve measured, and it seems very tight (may not fit) - but I have read that you can get 2 trials bikes in. Does anyone have an actual experience and hopefully pictures ? I would plan on taking the bulkhead out anyway. I would be looking at something like a 2015 to 2018. hopefully someone can help ! cheers John

I have a DC lightweight trailer, but slightly concerned at the sharp angle iron bits where the tyres sit, especially when compressed with tie downs. Has anyone modified theirs to help with this? Im thinking either fill gaps with ply, or chop up and old tyre to cover the sharp bits? Any hot tips for tie downs too? Other than the usual round the bars/clamps and foot pegs? Might try a ‘tyre down’ for the rear tyre.

Hi Everyone I have a Peugeot Partner van L1 swb 2017 model with the the bulk head in . What I would like to know is ...could I fit two bikes in ? has any one got pics of this? Defo get one in, as I currently get my sons beta rev 3 125 in there, and I would like to get my self a bike now. hope some one can shed some light on this, and sorry if its been done a million times before.. cheers

Sorry for asking again, as I can see that there are many questions, answers and opinions about various vans, and car variants for transporting trials bikes. But before making a purchase, for clarity, do members on the forum reckon that a trials bike will fit inside a Peugeot Partner Tepee. (And not a WAV vehicle). The ones I am looking at are the shorter type wheelbase car type variant. Many thanks

Just wondering if anyone has tried to get a trials bike (or 2 preferably) in the new (2018 on) Peugeot Rifter Long or the Citroen (new Berlingo) or Vauxhall (Combo Life) 7 seat equivalent? I've got a Doblo at the moment but want something a bit more car like and modern that can be used as a family car, while also being longer. I had a quick measure in one yesterday and it should work (just - roof is lower than Doblo but 7 seat version can take a full size trials bike lengthways no problem (6th & 7th seats removable). Just looking for real world feedback before taking the plunge and realising my measuring is off! Thanks.

Does anyone have experiece of using a wheelchair converted Fiat Doblo car. I want to get my Fantic 200 in it. Is the ground clearance too much reduced?, Is it much heavier and therefore less economical? I have been looking around for a while and there seems to be a lot of low mileage examples about.

Hi there. I'm currently thinking of selling our motorhome which is also my motorcycle transport. I just want a small van with 3 front seats. I've been looking at the new shape Citroen Berlingo and Peugeot partner 2019 onwards. It seems they come in a short and longer wheelbase. I was wondering if anyone has any experience and maybe photos of fitting their trials bikes in one of these vans. The long wheelbase one can probably fit a bike in straight against the side? Can you fit a bike in the short wheel base model ? I see part of the passenger seat folds forward. Can you get the front wheel through there ? Have people had to remove the bulkhead to get bikes in ? I would re…

First post, we're new to trials having just bought my 9 yr old son an Oset 20r (35kg). I was going to buy the witter detachable flange tow bar along with the trusted DC bike rack. However the reviews on the detachable flanged tow bar do not fill me with any confidence. Then for my local tow bar installer refuse to fit one, it seems to be the sideways movement on the detachable that is the issue. Any advice from people with experience before i purchase one please? (That's if they ever come back in stock). BMW 335D 2016

Just bought a Renault Trafic, H1L1. It has a wooden floor but that's all. Any suggestions how I go fitting it out, which I've never done before, so that I have have some secure storage. Photos would be ace. Thanks.

With a bed extender or just tail gate down it is possible to get two bikes in the maverick. took one to the rents house and got 35mpg to central NY from Michigan and back. Fwd hybrid lariat. Im biased of course and in love! 😍 --Biff

I currently have a 14 plate Berlingo car which is great for transporting a single bike, the rear seats can unclip and can be taken out. I am considering buying a new Berlingo or Rifter car but notice in the new models the rear seats fold flat and there appears to be less less height available. Just wondering if anyone has a new shape vehicle and if can get a bike in easily.
