sy250 Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Thinking of buying a van soon. Considering the berlingo or new shaped Combi.(something small) Can somebody tell me if you can fit a bike in and riding gear or are they too small. Many thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fellonmelug Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Ive had A Berlingo for 4 years (the car version ) Get a bike in with the rear seat removed no problems . I work the Blingo 7 days a week , it gets treat with very little care but it keeps coming back for more . Mines a 2.0 HDI get 40 to the gallon will cruise at 90 very comfortable . Would I buy another, without hesitation but i hope mines going to be around for a long while yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arun1664 Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Took my 290 sherco to a trial only today in the back of my wifes Berlingo Multispace, didn't even take the seats out. Bit of a squeze getting it in but it fits. Take the seats out & it would be easy. Great little car, electrics a bit iffy at times but it dont stop running ...

baldilocks Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Ive got a new shape combi. you can get two bikes in and all the kit, do it most weekends. The front wheel of one needs to come between the front seats a little but its no hardship. We managed to get three bikes in a berlingo van for the ssdt last year by taking the back wheel out of mine and the forks out of one of the others. if your only transporting one bike either van is fine. combi does between 45 and 50 to the gallon depending how late I am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ants Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Aprilia Climber fits in a Berlingo Multispace with the rear seats folded so a Berlingo Van would be no problem. Berlingo,s generally are cheap and cherfull good MPG and handle well but they are budget vehicles and finish and interiors are basic. Had mine since 2001 with minor niggles but it has had a beating to be honest but I would have another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
