🏕️ For Van Owners Who Need Space, Simplicity, and Freedom

If you’ve ever traveled with bikes mounted to your van, you already know the frustration: most exterior racks block your rear doors, weigh a ton, or cost more than the bikes themselves.

That’s why more van owners are switching to compact rear-door bike racks that let you keep full access to your van — no removing bikes, no climbing over gear, and no complicated installs.

🔩 The Problem with Traditional Racks

Hitch racks are great — until you need to open your rear doors. Roof mounts keep bikes out of the way — but they’re tough to reach, heavy, and can eat into your van’s clearance.

Many van-lifers and cyclists are looking for something simpler — a lightweight rack that keeps bikes outside, secure, and still lets you use your van like normal.

🚐 Introducing Bike-Hook: Compact. Smart. Door-Ready.

Bike-Hook mounts directly to your van’s rear doors — giving you a clean, low-profile setup that still lets you swing both doors open while your bikes are mounted.

It’s a simple idea, built for real-world van owners:

  • ✅ Full door access while bikes stay mounted

  • ✅ Lightweight, all-metal design — under 5 lbs

  • ✅ Affordable — less than half the cost of big-brand racks

  • ✅ Fits multiple van models — Ford Transit, RAM ProMaster, Mercedes Sprinter, Fiat Ducato, VW Crafter, and more

It’s not a complicated system. It’s a smarter one.

🧠 Why Door Access Matters

Van owners use their rear doors constantly — for loading gear, camping setups, or just getting to stored items.
Having to take your bikes off every time ruins the flow of travel.

Bike-Hook solves that problem by keeping the bikes secure but out of your way.
Your van stays functional — the way it should be.

💵 Designed for Value

Big-brand racks can cost $800–$1,000.
Bike-Hook delivers the same secure hold and function — at a fraction of that price.

It’s built to do one job perfectly:
carry your bikes safely, simply, and affordably.
