Bike bracket for floor mounting

scimmiamagia! · Dec 23, 2023

I am looking for a bracket that would fix to the floor slots so I can take off the front wheel and carry the bike inside the van. Does such a thing exist?

Do you intend pushing the seats forward and removing back shelf? I looked into this a couple of years to rig up my own version based around this type of rig:

Generic Bike Mount Rail Kit

The generic rail kit is designed to fit into any other van with ease using the use of threaded inserts supplied. The inserts fasten into the plywood flooring in your van to create secure lashing points. Kit Includes: 1x Fork Mount Rail and fitting kit x2 MTB Vans Fork Mounts (all 4 hub...

I didn’t do it in the end as another project took over!

This is my solution using MTB Vans Bike Fork Mount from Amazon and a bit of steel flat bar from B&Q

I use an Evoc frame - works for both road and MTB bike. In the Ocean it fits like it was purpose built for it so I don’t need use a rail bolt. But for a Beach could use one of the floor bolts that are available from the club shop.

Hi Milo4, Great looking gravel electric bike. What is the make and model please. Cheers, Geoff.

Thanks - it’s a GT Grade. It’s been great so far and allowed me to go on longer tours with my mate, without stressing whether I’ve done enough training for the hills etc

Hmmm… perhaps I am being optimistic.

We have a Beach and can get a bike in across the van behind the front seats with wheel on albeit with wheel at an angle.

I have not measured up yet but with the front wheel off I assumed it will easily fit inside across the van and I would be able to fix the forks to the furthest slot in the floor.

I was thinking there might be a system of fixing things to the slots like the bolt system that fixes the base of our vw cool box.

Looks like this needs a custom-build. To the workshop!
