anotherfive Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 Tempted to get one of the wheelchair adapted vehicles for trials transport. They're probably better looked after than vans.Does anyone use one. This may be more practical for me than a van. All comments welcome. Picture would be great.

cleanorbust Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 I use a non-adapted Doblo which is excellent for the purpose. I think all the adapted vehicles have a lowered floor which can be awkward for accessing start fields at some trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totty79 Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 No direct experience but a similar question was asked on the VW Caddy forum recently, a wheelchair user pointed out that the quality of conversions differ significantly. Some have drafts, leaks and are noisy, others aren't any different to own than the original vehicle. You might need to test drive both standard and converted.

trialman Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 yeah i've used a mk1 berlingo 1400 for the last 8years, and just bought a 10 plate berlingo 1600 diesel to update transport. makes life ultra easy to load bike, only carries one, corner to corner and having lowered floor gives you better headroom over std vehicle. note most wav berlingo's only have 3 seats, thinking of turning mine into a micro campervan so it can be multi use and can make a cuppa. friend bought a peugot partner car unmodified so he's got seats for his family but harder to get bike in! in the later models seats are quickly detachable but obviously you need somewhere to store them, when not used. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it go in backwards or forewards I put mine in forwards, as ramp makes it a doddle, I wedge front up corner by drivers seat[ think you could do it behind passenger seat] as I'm left handed?? ramp stops it rolling and 1 strap is all thats needed. my 2010 model seems to be 8inch longer than 2000 model, but both work realy well, think the later one would take two bikes, one forwards and one backwards.

jacuerro Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 I couldn't find any photo prior to purchasing Berlingo WAV. So here is one for others, hope this is helpful: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
