Bicycle Storage Options

Bicycle Storage Options

There are multiple ways to store bikes on or in your van. Many of these are third-party products.  Vandoit offers several accessories we believe are helpful and make traveling with your bike seamless.

Bicycle Storage Options:

1. The easiest option is the Bike Fork Mount. Traditionally, it is attached directly to the gear slide, but it can be mounted on the roof, floor, or vertically on most extrusion sections. It allows for ease when installing by simply removing your front tire, then attaching the mount to the front fork of your bike. We offer four different size options of the Bike Fork Mount: 12mm x 100m, 15mm x 100m, 15mm x 110m, and 15mm x 150m, as well as a 9mm skewer.


2a.  For those who need all the room they can get inside their van, we have a trailer hitch storage option: The 1 UP Bike Rack paired with the 1 UP Swing Away Rakattach Arm.  The 1 UP Bike Rack attaches to the 1 UP Swing Away RakAttach which fits directly into the trailer hitch. The 1 UP Bike Rack is rated for off road use, fits 16” – 29” wheels, up to 3.1” wide, and has a total carrying capacity of up to 200 lbs (50 lbs per bike spot).

2b.  The 1 UP Swing Away RakAttach swings away from the vehicle, allowing for large, bulky storage options to be attached to the rear of the van but leaves the rear door fully accessible. When paired with a 12-foot platform, it makes mounting bikes, paddle boards, storage boxes, and other items incredibly easy. It is rated to carry up to 275 lbs.
