Smallest Van possible
Hi there, I know I asked a similar question to this recently but this one is diffrent, promise
Whats the smallest van that you can get one normal sized bikes + kit in comfotabley, two normal bikes at a push. It would be nice if there was space for one of the bikes to be an motocross, but its not essential. The bikes must go in whole. If people are wondering why, I am probaly moving to london and I dont want to make the parking nightmare any worse. It would be really nice to have somthing with a footprint smaller than an estate, I have owned an Omega before and city parking in that was a nightmare. Also I figured a smaller vecihle is less likley to wind up the negibours if it there all year + they seem to be cheaper to buy, run and insure At the moment VW transporter/merc Vito springs to mind. |

Re: Smallest Van possible
I think you'd struggle with a rascal unfortunately. They really are tiny! Have you got a garage in London?

Re: Smallest Van possible
Personally I think I would get a Merc Vito van, the one with seats as well then just take them out when I wanted to take the bike out and about.

Re: Smallest Van possible
I saw 2 bikes on the back of a VW Caddy once, but it looked pretty dodgy tbh.
