Hi Folks, anyone know (silly question) if there are any local suppliers of scooter racks please, obviously as there are numerous types of van, does anyone locally make or fit these?
Regards

TAYLOR.

I have no idea who keeps stock of scooter racks in Northern Ireland.

You could try Simon at LTS (advert at top of this site) or failing that David murphy tow bars in Carryduff might have made some.

Doubt anyone will have one in stock, but probably order one in. Sometimes if you check gumtree you can strike lucky if someone is selling.

There is one for a Hymer 564 in the "For Sale" section?
They are great - fold away etc and really sturdy -

Perhaps easily changed to adapt to your M/home.
Get the measurements and see if adaptable with a spot of welding

pm me your mobile and I will ring you - its my bike rack - will give you all the measurements you need for it. I only took it off as I will never have a scooter on the van. Can send you more photos and measurements if required and to be honest I would rather it went to a good home otherwise it will get chopped up for scrap.

Have you done your home work on fitting a scooter rack on your Motorhome? Rack and scooter can add a lot of weight to your rear axle especially as it is so far back.

Hi Broms, thanks for the offer, however, while this is the design of what I'm after, it's to carry an electric bike that I am unable to lift onto the bike rack, and I think your rack is a bit on the heavy side for what I want, although the design and attachment points etc are what i would want - just bolt it on in another place just to be sure, then do another one to be sure again! (only maybe of a lighter construction.)
thanks. I know trying to pass on something that has been useful to you is not always easy.
Good luck to you and thanks.

Hi Richill!

I have just placed a rack on Donedeal under campers. It might suit your needs. It came with a camper van I bought two years ago and I had/have no use for it. (She will not allow me purchase a motor bike/scooter. Contact no: 00353872404630. Based in Cavan town.

Thanks Droffats, I am not really wanting a tow bar, but something lower down to put an electric bike on without having to chuck it skywards. I want something lightweight. Will probably end up constructing something myself. but thanks anyway.
regards
