Bicycle stand for the motorhome garage

[Mr porky]

Hi any tips, we need to store our 2 electric bikes better in the garage, we had a very simple thing that took the scooter wheel that the wheel just rode into and then we secured with straps.
Get a similar item or is there a better option.
Thank you

We had a fiamma double stand in last van that bolted thru floor, just using ratchet straps in new one.

If it's just to hold them while/until you tie down something like this might work,

BIKE STAND Folding Portable Bicycle Floor Ground Parking Holder Bike Storage | eBay

Bike Floor / Wall Stand Storage Display Parking Rack Bicycle Cycle Stand. RDK FOLDING SPRING LOADED CYCLE PARKING / DISPLAY STAND. Not suitable for electric bikes or any bike over 20kg due to the cycle weight will cause unstable bike.

On the new tandem we have a centre stand that is really useful and can be fitted to most frames I guess.

As a budget option, I quite like this style https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/26695660...pid=5339023013&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1

We use a 4-bike Bike Stow in our shuttle and it is really good quality, simple and effective. They do various options, including single and double stands.

As posted on another thread, https://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/foru...ns-of-models-to-consider.313595/#post-6408896 we use 2 toast rack type supports that the rear wheels go into. They are adjustable for various width tyres, ours being 4" fat tyres. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CFTDR9DB?tag=mhf04-21 & a plastic one that was chosen for low weight and to trial. We put the bikes in front to rear and use a decathlon https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/bike-frame-adaptor-bar-for-bike-rack/_/R-p-328787 to join the 2 seat posts and basically create a solid box like structure so the bikes don't move. As each end has ratchets and quick release mechanisms it's easy to fit and remove. We then use a bungee on each pannier rack to secure to the eyelets in the garage floor rails. We do drop the handle bars more to quickly load than any other reason.

Cheap, simple, quick and easy to use.

We just ratchet strap the two bikes to the front wall of the garage.

We think that leaves more space in the rest of the area(two thirds) than using stands.

I purchased an old 4 bike rear carrier and used parts to hold 2 bikes with plenty of room left. Inside bike has handlebars turned other one simply held by straps and original clamp with plastic pipe arm.

Takes up most of the floor space - see my post #6 above and I just use one ratchet strap for 2 bikes.

I use this method as I often take 3 or 4 bikes. Worked well for me for over 10 years..

Sorry I never made a YouTube of it to tell everyone

Have a look at the Thule slide outs, expensive but soooo easy to use and top quality

 

[Dutch 68]

Thule Velo slide is the correct name I think
