Why Bike-Hook Isn’t a Bike Rack—It’s a Smarter Mounting System

Let’s set the record straight: Bike-Hook is not just another bike rack. It’s a new way to think about how bicycles and campervans work together. While traditional racks rely on hitch receivers, swinging arms, and awkward installs, Bike-Hook strips it all down to the essentials—giving you freedom, function, and space.

If you travel by van and bring your bikes, here’s why Bike-Hook isn’t just different—it’s better.

🔍 1. It Mounts to the Doors, Not the Hitch

Traditional racks depend on your vehicle’s hitch receiver and often extend several feet behind your van. They can rattle, sway, and get in the way every time you need to open your back doors.
Bike-Hook mounts directly to the top of your rear doors using your bike’s front fork. No swinging gates. No drilling. No hassle.

🧰 2. It’s Modular and Ultra-Light

Each Bike-Hook weighs just 3 pounds and stores in a shoebox when not in use. No need to leave a heavy, greasy rack mounted to your van. Install it when you need it—remove it when you don’t.

Fork mount bike rack installed on a Ford Transit rear door using the Bike-Hook system. Holds bikes vertically without drilling or a hitch, perfect for campervan travel.

🏕️ 3. It’s Built for Vanlife, Not SUVs

Most racks are made for cars and trucks—not campervans with rear-door access and tight interior space.
Bike-Hook was designed from the ground up for camper conversions, DIY van builds, and tight parking zones. That means:

  • Easy rear door access

  • No swing gates

  • No extension behind your van

  • Fits with spare tires, boxes, and accessories

🔒 4. It Locks When You Close the Door

Once mounted and your van door is closed, the Bike-Hook locks into place. It can’t be removed unless you open the rear doors, adding an extra layer of theft deterrence and bike security.

🚐 5. It Works With Nearly Any Van

Bike-Hook is available for popular North American and European vans, including:

  • RAM ProMaster & ProMaster City

  • Ford Transit & Transit Connect

  • Mercedes Sprinter

  • Fiat Ducato

  • Peugeot Boxer

  • VW Transporter T5/T6 & Crafter

  • Vauxhall Vivaro, Citroën Jumper, and more

 

Conclusion: A New Category of Bike Mounting

You don’t need a bulky rack or a trailer hitch to carry your bikes. With Bike-Hook, you get a minimalist, secure, and van-specific solution designed for the realities of life on the road. It’s not just a product—it’s a smarter way to travel.
