need to see if a fully built bike will fit inside and easily.

i am off to take a look at a berlingo van/car type thing. the model with seats in the back instead of a van and would like to see how much space id have. i dont want to go there with my dirty dh bike and ask to chuck it in and see lol

thanks

thats 2 bikes down the right hand side with front wheels off and a bed on the left

you can get 3 fully built(large) bikes in the van version with both wheels on if you poke em down the side of the seats and through the gap.

with the seats in and folded up in the car version you will struggle

the vans are cheaper to buy but more expensive to insure ....

car version same age/milage as my van was circa 6.5 grand - insurance 150 Fully comp age 24

van version - 3.5k to buy - 500 third party to insure

still a fair few years of insurance to pay to get it near the cost of the car version

Ive had the car, now have the van. The other thing to watch out for is the car has all there little cubby holes all over, including the roof, so I had to wind down my fork or the bars were too high.
In the van 2 bikes, 2 peeps and all your kit is a piece of piss.

No pics, but tip the single seat forward and you'll get any size bike in bar a Penny farthing with the wheels on, in fact you'll have to wedge a single bike so it doean't roll about.

Today 2 adult bikes a 20" a 24" bike and 4 peeps + camping gear.

Wheels off though.:)
