2 Bikes In A Berlingo!

Featured Replies

Yeah, that was my initial thought to look for an old Transit Connect with long wheel base and high root.

But find one in decent state is a challenge. I mean if you don't want to spend too much.

It looks like it may be easier to find old berlingo in better shape, hence my question.

I'd like to ask for simmilar. I plan to carry one bike, but would like to understand how it fits into the older/cheaper models of berlingo (I think it is 2004-2012).

I never had any van. Nor I have carried any bike in any car/van. How easy it is to put a bike in a small-ish van with low roof like Berlingo.

I am looking at both Berlingo cars and vans, but I guess van is going to have slightly more space + it'll be easier to clean.

Any photos much appreciated. Ta.

I use a 2003 Berlingo car to carry one bike. The roof is the same height as the van but I suppose the lining reduces clearance a little bit. Certainly my roof lining is looking a bit the worse-for-wear these days. When I was looking to buy a cheap van I found that the Berlingo car was somewhat cheaper than the equivalent van. I use a folding ramp to load and unload, which makes it very easy. Especially since I bought the EM which can propel itself up the ramp (no pushing!).

@trapezeartist thanks for that. I suppose you don't happen to have any picture with the bike loaded in your Berlingo?

I'll take a couple of photos tomorrow, and post them back here asap.
