Bike-Hook Announces Field Testing of New Lightweight Travel Bike-Hook
Designed With Travel in Mind One of the most exciting aspects of the new Travel Bike-Hook is its portability. Weighing just 1 pound, it is small enough to fit inside a suitcase or travel bag, making it an ideal companion for cyclists who fly to riding destinations and rent vehicles. Imagine arriving at your destination, collecting a rental SUV or hatchback, unpacking your Bike-Hook, and heading straight to the trails. That idea has driven much of this project's development from day one.
We Finally Solved the Hatchback Problem
For The Last 6 Months, We’ve Been Chasing One Problem Almost every day, we receive emails asking the same question: “Do you make a Bike-Hook for hatchbacks or lift gates?” Until now, the answer has mostly been: "Not yet,,.. ALMOST THERE"

The Hatchback Challenge Hatchbacks and lift gates create a unique engineering problem for bike storage. Unlike rear barn doors, hatchbacks: move upward require clearance limit mounting locations create awkward loading angles
Why Tailgate Vans Have Always Been Difficult for Bike Storage
The Hatchback Problem Nobody Talks About For years, Bike-Hook has worked incredibly well on rear-door vans. The reason is actually pretty simple: open the rear doors place the Bike-Hook onto the exposed door jamb close the doors the system locks securely into place That simple loading process is one of the biggest reasons Bike-Hook became popular with campervan owners.
