Bike-Hook: The Compact, Low-Cost Bike Mount for 1–4 Bikes on Your Van
Monica Ganas
What Is a Bike-Hook?
A Bike-Hook is a lightweight, removable front fork mount that replaces your front wheel and installs directly on the rear doors of your van. Each unit weighs just 3 lbs, making it a low-cost, low-profile alternative to traditional swing-arm hitch racks that can tip the scales at 100 lbs or more with accessories.

🧳 Small in Size, Big in Benefits
-
Space-Saving: A pair of Bike-Hooks takes up less space than a shoebox—perfect for minimalist van builds or weekend warriors.
-
Door-Mounted Convenience: Mount them on top of your van's rear doors, not your bumper. That means no bouncing hitch rack, no extra vehicle length, and no hassle in tight parking spaces.
-
Access Without the Swing: Unlike traditional bike racks that swing out 4 feet or more, Bike-Hooks let you open your rear doors anytime, even with bikes mounted.
-
Expandable Capacity: Most vans allow up to 2 bikes per door, giving you the ability to carry up to 4 bikes total without a hitch or rack extender.
💡 Compatible with Real-World Van Setups
Bike-Hook systems are engineered to work alongside common rear van accessories like:
-
Spare tire carriers
-
Rear door boxes
-
Ladders or roof access systems
Whether you drive a RAM ProMaster, Ford Transit, Sprinter, or Fiat Ducato, there’s a Bike-Hook setup that keeps your bikes secure without interfering with your existing build.
🚐 Why Bike-Hook Is Perfect for Van Life Cyclists
-
No extra length: Parking lots, drive-thrus, or ferry lines are easier to navigate without 4 extra feet hanging off the back.
-
Low-profile design: Avoid adding wind drag or back-rack bulk.
-
DIY and removable: Install them when you need them, remove them when you don’t.
-
Budget-friendly: Bike-Hooks offer a fraction of the cost of bulky swing racks or vertical hitch carriers.
