What is the best way to mount your bikes on the Van 'n Bike system?
This is not very different from the way you would put them on the bicycle rack, on the back of the car.
Naturally, you will first mount your bike carrier on the Van 'n Bike carrier system.
Als de fietsdrager op het Van ’n Bike draagsysteem gemonteerd is, plaats dan de bijgeleverde Frame Holder Van ’n Bike. Deze verbindt de beugel van de fietsdrager met het centrum van het draagsysteem. en zorgt voor stabiliteit.
Het plaatsen van deze Frame Holder is belangrijk om het gewicht dat op de kogelbout rust te verdelen over gans het draagsysteem.
De eerste fiets (die het dichtst tegen de achterzijde CamperVan staat) kan je best met het voorwiel gericht naar rechts zetten.
This is the side where the 2 hinges of the Van 'n Bike are.
You can leave the steering wheel in its original position, so there is no need to put it in a crosswise position.
In order to prevent the handlebars from colliding with the rear doors of the Campervan when braking, it is advisable to install an additional spacer (Bike holder).
This is not necessary for every type of bicycle, but it is usually necessary for e-bikes.
The second bicycle is placed with the front wheel to the left. You can then fasten it as explained in the instruction booklet of your bicycle carrier (Thule, Uebler, Bosal, etc.).
How do you fit this additional spacerholder?
On the round tubes of the Van 'n Bike system, you can place an additional spacer (Bike holder) to keep the handlebars of the bike away from your rear window.
The various spacers from e.g. Fiamma spacers are particularly suitable for this purpose and can be adjusted in all directions.
