Carrier systems for vans and motorhomes

Comfortably take your bike, motorbike etc. wherever you go

Whether it’s for a morning trip to the bakery, a little errand in the nearest town or an extensive sightseeing tour of the surrounding area – taking your bike or motorbike with you on your travels lets you stay mobile and flexible at your holiday destination.

We offer a range of systems for bringing bicycles, e-bikes, scooters or quad bikes with you to your destination safely – from rear carriers for camper vans to rear garage loader models for motorhomes to trailer systems for quad bikes or two heavy motorbikes. It is important that you choose the right model for your camper van and pay attention to its load capacity, quality, safety and comfortable handling before deciding on a purchase. You are sure to find the right solution for (almost) every requirement at SAWIKO, the specialists for carrier systems and towbars!

Carrier systems for vans

Free access to the rear doors is usually the customer’s top priority when selecting a carrier system for their van. The most comfortable variants are the pivoting models. These allow the camper van’s rear doors to be opened easily even with the bicycle carrier on it, without any conversion work required. All except one of the models presented here are equipped with this feature.

 

TRIGO-VAN

This user-friendly bicycle carrier for vans offers free access to the rear doors at all times. Thanks to its user-friendly and ergonomic design, you can swivel the rear carrier out safely and effortlessly, even when it is at maximum load. With a payload of 80 kilograms, the TRIGO-VAN is designed to hold a maximum of three bicycles or e-bikes. Thanks to its design and assembly, the construction is inherently stable and reliably prevents damage to the doors and hinges. The TRIGO-VAN is currently available for the FIAT Ducato, Peugeot Boxer and Citroën Jumper.

The transport platform can be folded up while the towbar remains fully usable. This latter must be already fitted on the vehicle and is not included in the carrier system’s delivery. If you do not have a towbar, you can have it retrofitted at SAWIKO. Of course, the TRIGO-VAN – like all SAWIKO products – has been extensively tested for durability in the AL-KO Technology Centre in accordance with the latest test procedures.

KAWA II

The Kawa II is very popular with mobile holidaymakers and can be used with almost all campervan models. the KAWA II’s modular design makes it extremely versatile and ideally suited for bikes, scooters or both together. If required, the KAWA II can be ‘fully loaded’ with 150 to 200 kilograms. The KAWA II is equipped with a retaining bracket that can be comfortably removed for access to the rear doors.

AGITO VAN

This rear carrier for the Ford Westfalia Nugget, Ford Tourneo Custom and Fiat Ducato van models has a load capacity of 60 kilograms and is designed to transport two bicycles, but can stretch to three. Thanks to its practical swing arm, the rear door can still be easily accessed with this model. You also have the option of mounting a transport box on the carrier.

AGITO 120/150

These rear carriers, specially developed for (almost all) vans, can take up to 120 or 150 kilograms. This allows you to effortlessly transport up to four bikes or e-bikes, and even a light scooter. This aluminium carrier system can be completely swivelled out using a jockey wheel, so that the rear doors are always accessible with this model too.

AGITO TOP

With a load capacity of up to 80 kilograms, the AGITO TOP, the AGITO models’ ‘little brother’, is also suitable for transporting one or two e-bikes on almost any van model. It can be swung out when loaded and has a foldable transport platform.

Carrier systems for motorhomes

With motorhomes, there are basically several ways to transport bicycles, scooters etc. SAWIKO offers both rear carrier and rear garage transport solutions. Frame-mounted rear carriers have a lower centre of gravity and therefore offer significant advantages in terms of stability, load capacity and safety compared to carriers mounted directly on the motorhome’s rear wall. All SAWIKO carrier systems can also be dismantled without tools. If your motorhome’s rear garage is large enough to transport bicycles and/or motorbikes in it, we offer carrier systems designed with a pull-in for comfortable loading. This also ensures your bikes are better protected from all weathers and potential theft.

 

REAR CARRIER VELO III

This model is a real flyweight: This rear carrier weighs just 16 kilos yet can achieve huge things – because its load capacity of 80 kilograms makes it perfectly suited for e-bikes as well. As with the VARIO, the VELO III’s platform can be folded up to save space.

REAR CARRIER BASIC

This BASIC entry-level model from the SAWIKO rear carrier family lets you transport four bicycles or a light motorbike weighing up to 100 kilograms. Changeover to a cover box is also possible, whereby a weatherproof PVC tarpaulin is attached to the aluminium frame with a zip fastener and twist locks – creating a lightweight yet sturdy box for more storage space, privacy and weather protection.

 

REAR CARRIER MIKRO II

With a load capacity of 120 kilograms, the MIKRO II is suitable for transporting up to four bicycles or one classic 125cc scooter.

REAR CARRIER VARIO

With a weight of less than 30 kilograms, the VARIO offers a load capacity of 150 kilograms and can thus accommodate four bicycles or a combination of two wheels and one scooter. The carrier can be simply be folded up when not in use.

REAR CARRIER LIGERO III

This lightweight aluminium carrier with a load capacity of 150 kilograms can transport up to four bicycles or in the maximum version one scooter and two bicycles. The special thing about this model is that it comes equipped with a telescopic pull-out as standard. You can extend the carrier from the standard depth of approx. 500 millimetres to a maximum of 820 millimetres – so there is comfortable space for four bicycles or two bicycles with very wide handlebars. The rails for this can be bought separately.
