In this case we recommend the carrier for 5 or for 4 bicycles.
We want to carry all kinds of bicycles?

Why are bicycles protected against damage on this carrier?
All bicycles stand independently of one another. And each bicycle is secured by its tyres at the bottom, top, front and rear (this is dependent on the geometry of the bicycle)
Will the bicycles we purchase in 15 years time still fit on the VK Bicycle Carrier?
Yes, they will fit as long as there are two round wheels under them
Certificate of Conformity (CoC) VK Bicycle Tralers.
The VK Bicycle Trailers have an European type approval. Certificate of conformity (CoC)
The COC document is a producer’s declaration that the vehicle complies with the given approved type. This document contains information about the vehicle and its producer’s identification, type approval number, technical specifications and other data. The content of a COC is defined by EU regulation (Amendment IX, Regulation 92/53).
The purpose of this document is to ensure the free movement of goods within the European Union, specifically for those goods that are subject to homologation and registration.
EU countries cannot refuse to register vehicles if they are accompanied by a valid CoC that proves their compliance with EU law. Vehicles with an EU type approval can be marketed anywhere in the European Community. Therefore, a vehicle only needs to receive the type approval certification in one EU country in order to be accepted in all of the other member countries.
The COC document must be present when the trailer is in use.
My bicycles have mudguards, how do I mount them on the VK bike carrier?
Specially developed hooks allow all bicycles with standard mudguards to be secured to the VK bike carrier. Refer to the product videos page for mounting instructions and a demonstration video.
How can I transport bicycles in my commercial van?
The bike carrier for 2 bicycles has also been designed for use in a van or on a small trailer. Both bicycles can be loaded conveniently from the rear. The bike carrier is mounted to the van/trailer bed.
How do I know if a product is in stock?
For information about bike carriers, please contact VK International by email or telephone, or use the contact form on the website.

What should I watch out for before loading and unloading bicycles on the bike carriers?
Always read the user manual before use. It contains warnings as well as the instructions for use.
I am interested in efficient bicycle storage: how many bicycles can I store?
You can store 15 bicycles on a footprint of 3 m² with 3 ALL IN ONE units. Each ALL IN ONE carrier can accommodate 5 bicycles. For your own safety, never stack more than 3 ALL IN ONE units on top of each other.
