Transporting a motorbike in a van is a practical and secure solution when a trailer or bike carrier isn't suitable. Securely strapped inside, the motorbike is protected from vibrations, bad weather and prying eyes. Using a kit like the Kal\u00e9o, including straps, rail, wheel chock and electric winch, makes securing and loading much easier and effortless. Above all, make sure your van (dimensions, weight) and motorbike (max. tyre width 195 mm) are compatible for optimum transport.<\/p>

There are several ways to transporting a motorbike<\/b>, On a trailer, a bike carrier or directly in your vehicle. The choice of transport method will depend on your vehicle and the characteristics of your motorbike. To transport a motorbike on a trailer, your vehicle must be fitted with a suitable hitch, and a motorbike carrier can only be used if the weight of your motorbike does not exceed the carrying capacity of the carrier.<\/p>

If you don't have the option of fitting a motorbike carrier or towbar to your motorhome or van, you'll need to secure your motorbike inside your vehicle. To ensure that your motorbike is transported safely and optimally, you'll need to strap it down properly. Find out how to secure a motorbike in a van and transport your motorbike in ideal conditions.<\/p>

Why stow a motorbike in a van?<\/h2>

If you can't transport your motorbike in a trailer (because your vehicle doesn't have a tow bar) or on a bike rack (because it's too heavy for the rack), the only way is to install it in your van.<\/p>

L\u2019securing a motorbike in a van<\/b> is mainly a technical necessity. But there are definite advantages to this method, starting with the fact that it guarantees totally safe transport once the motorbike is stowed. Perfectly strapped down inside your van, your motorbike will suffer far less vibration with this method of transport than if you were to transport it in a trailer or on a motorbike carrier.<\/p>

In addition to the straps, a rear wheel locking system will give your bike greater stability. So there's no risk of it tipping to one side.<\/p>

And finally.., strapping a motorbike into a van<\/b> or in the luggage compartment of a motorhome means it's protected from the wind, cold and rain, as well as from prying eyes, unlike being transported in a trailer or on a bike carrier. Your motorbike won't be exposed to the elements or to prying eyes.<\/p>

Steps for securing a motorbike in a van<\/h2>

To effectively secure a motorbike in a van, we recommend the use of a appropriate lashing system<\/b>. Because of its weight, a motorbike cannot be stowed in a van or in the hold of a camper van by sheer force of arms. Special equipment is required.<\/p>

Le Kal\u00e9o loading kit<\/a> is the ideal solution for perfectly securing a motorbike in a van, from loading to the actual lashing down. The kit contains straps, a support rail and wheel chocks to hold your motorbike firmly in place inside your van. A loading ramp, with a load capacity of 350 kg, is also included in the Kaleo kit.<\/p>

To make it easier to load your motorbike into your van, the Kal\u00e9o kit comes with an electric winch. This means you won't have to make any major physical effort to load your bike into your van.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

Before using this loading system, you need to make sure that your van is compatible with its use, in terms of :<\/p>

- The dimensions of the hold
- By authorised weight
- To the sockets available for attaching straps<\/p>

Your motorbike must also meet the specifications of the loading kit. Your motorbike's tyres must have a maximum width of 195 mm. Finally, be sure to deduct the weight of the Kaleo kit from the payload of your luggage compartment, to ensure that your transport is perfectly adapted.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
