European Vans, Meet Bike-Hook: The Cleanest, Smartest Way to Store Your Bikes

Adventure van with 3 bikes on rear doors using Bike-Hooks. Modular design lets van lifers avoid bulky swing-away racks for e-bikes or mountain bikes.

If you’re driving a European campervan or UK van conversion, every inch of space matters. Between tight roads, narrow parking bays, and limited rear access, the last thing you need is a bulky hitch rack sticking 4 feet off the back. That’s why Bike-Hook is the go-to solution for smart vanlifers who need clean, secure, and compact bike storage—without sacrificing usability or access.

Designed for Tight Spots

European cities, rural roads, and even national parks aren't always campervan-friendly when it comes to maneuvering or parking. Add a swing-arm hitch rack, and you’re suddenly dealing with a much longer vehicle, limited visibility, and tighter turns.

Bike-Hook eliminates that problem.

  • It mounts flush on your rear doors—not your hitch.

  • Adds virtually zero vehicle length.

  • Keeps your van’s profile compact for tight roads, parallel parking, and low-clearance spots.

  • No need to swing 50+ lbs of bikes out of the way just to grab a water bottle from the back.

Lightweight and low-profile Bike-Hook mount for Mercedes Sprinter Rear door bike rack system holds up to 4 bikes vertically without blocking entry. Works with Sprinter, Transit, ProMaster, VW Transporter, and more. Compatible with EU van models.

Secure, Modular, and Lockable

Each Bike-Hook mount holds one bike by its front fork—just remove the front wheel and click into the adapter (thru-axle or QR compatible). Once your van door is closed, the entire system is locked in place. You can't remove the bike or the mount until the rear door opens, creating a natural anti-theft feature.

For even more security, your bike can be locked directly to the Bike-Hook using a simple cable or U-lock, giving you peace of mind on overnight stops, roadside breaks, or city parking.

Small Size. Big Performance.

Each Bike-Hook weighs just 3 lbs and is about the size of a shoebox—yet it securely supports bikes of all kinds:
🚲 Road Bikes
🚲 Mountain Bikes
🚲 Gravel Bikes
🚲 Fat Tire & Downhill Bikes
🚲 E-Bikes

Most vans accommodate up to 2 bikes per rear door, which means you can store up to 4 bikes—without compromising rear door access, window use, or spare tire clearance.
