⚙️ How It Works: The No-Drill, Fork-Mount System

Unlike bulky hitch racks or DIY strap systems, Bike-Hook mounts directly on top your van’s rear door using NO MODIFICATIONS — no drilling, no bouncing, no hassle. It holds your front fork securely and vertically, so your bike hangs on the outside of your van with the rear tire against the door. 

🛠 Built from a powder-coated galvanneal steel, with stainless steel hardware and protective padding, it's:

  • Safe for your bike

  • Safe for your doors

  • Safe from rust—even in rough weather

🔋 eBikes? No Problem

We get this a lot:
“Can Bike-Hook hold my eBike?”
Yes. It’s been tested with up to 70 lbs of hanging weight per door, with no deflection or damage. Many of our customers use them with gravel bikes, mountain bikes, and heavy eBikes across rough terrain.

🌍 Designed for Vanlife in Europe

Whether you're touring the Dolomites or camping by the North Sea, van space is tight. Bike-Hook keeps your bikes stored vertically, securely, and inside. That means:

  • Low theft risk - almost ZERO with our lock accessories 

  • No need to remove it when driving
