New - Sawiko Van-Bike 2 - Bike Carrier Using Rear Door Hinges (1 Viewer)

[Wombles]

Spotted this bike carrier & liked the clever way it fits using the rear door hinges so thought it might be of interest to some even if not available to buy in the UK yet:

More info.:

• Its pivoting system allows full opening (90 °) of the rear doors of your van and therefore greatly facilitates access to your interior.
• It offers you a low loading height, so it is easy to load and unload the bikes without any particular effort.
• This fixing system allows the VAN-BIKE 2 bike carrier to remain in position on the rear of your vehicle even when it is not loaded.
• Designed to accommodate 2 electric bikes or 3 to 4 standard bikes with an option, it is also fully foldable when not loaded.

• Unloaded weight	25 kg
  Payload	80 kg

Interesting idea, but I do wonder what rating the hinges on a van would be for the loadings of that carrier. But there are others out there, which I think may work out a bit cheaper:

Sawiko is an Al-Ko Kober brand so would hope that such a reputable company would have done their homework on loading suitability but always worth checking. Lots of other options posted on here including tow bar mounted carriers with some at similar prices (including the Memo Van Star https://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/forum/threads/memo-swing-away-bike-foldable-scooter-racks.193007/ ) but they have extra metalwork so can be heavy but posted this one as first time we've seen this type which having no extra heavy metalwork may be helpful to those watching their weight.

Looks quite good. Seems they have to install it for you, which is extra, although the wiring is included in the price.

Would like one or one of the other variants of the racks for a PVC.
