MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
anyone use one of these vans, any experience of putting bikes in the back, wheel off/on etc
We got a Nemo as a hire car in Spain a couple of weeks ago, having booked "Berlingo or similar". If the van version is the same overall size as the car version, I'd day it's not long enough for bikes straight in, wheels on. Should get a couple in diagonally though. Ours was a passenger version with a fold down back seat and one sliding side door, twin door tailgate. Very tinny, very narrow power band on the engine so always on the gears. Handled like a stack of pallets on a skateboard, looked it up when we got home and see loads of vids of it falling over in the "moose test". Ugly enough to have folk stopping and commenting on the campsite too.
too small for bikes - i had choice between new nemo or used partner - partner won as sensible choice !

😀 sounds a bit like my riding style!
cheers guys
Apparently the Fiat has some kind of stability control that the other 2 lack, and is generally better specced.
Owned mine for going on 4 months now...bike goes in no bother, two bikes and its a front wheels out job.
Neither has it tipped over in spectacular fashion nor have i felt the need for any traction/stability nonsense.
Treat it for what it is and it's fine.
