It is simplicity itself to further increase the versatility of your motorhome, whether it is coachbuilt
or a panel van conversion, by adding one of our scooter/motorbike racks.
The regular aluminium chequer plate rack & ramp will carry most scooters, motorcycle &
enduro-style bikes safely up to 170 kg, providing the motorhome’s chassis is up to the job.
The standard version of the Armitage motorcycle or scooter rack comes with plastic lighting board
and costs £ 300.00 + vat as shown below.
PLEASE NOTE. All scooter racks need to be mounted on a towbar that has sufficient download
capability to cope with the weight of the motorbike rack AND the scooter. Vitally, you must look at the
facts and figures in the owner's handbook to make sure the motorhome has enough spare capacity to
carry its extra burden.
We can make an extra strength version of the motorcycle rack, for use only with full length Al-KO
chassis and many American RVs. This can carry machines up to around 200kg when matched with
Al-Ko and up to around 220kg with the best RV chassis. The extra strength carrier has reinforced
ramp and rack and costs a further £50 plus vat.
If you're not sure whether your motorhome has the spare rear axle capacity to carry a scooter or
motorbike rack, just clink on this link READY RECKONER to go to an an excel grid that will help
you work out the answer.
By far the most popular is the deluxe scooter/motorbike rack which has commercial-grade, rubber
backed lights set in a aluminium chequer plate protective channel just like those featured in the
following pictures.
The de luxe motorcycle/scooter rack costs £400.00 + vat. We can supply you with a GB badge
number plate for either rack for £10.99 (£9.55 plus vat), if you order it when booking and bring
along your driving licence and log book on the day.
NEW
We can now also offer a budget version at £250 plus vat. As well as having the plastic lighting
board, the budget motorcycle rack has a galvanised carrying channel instead of an aluminium one.
Using steel instead of aluminium adds 9kg to the weight of the rack. We still supply this rack with an
aluminium loading ramp for ease of use. PLEASE make sure the 9kg extra does not eat too
far into your payload!
Pictured above is our bolt-on, adaptor plate scooter or motorbike rack.
It is suitable for existing motorhome towbars (IF they are strong enough). The picture directly above
shows the adaptor plate scooter/motorbike rack unit disassembled, ready to be posted out. The cost?
£325 plus vat (inc £25 p and p) with standard lighting or £425 (inc p and p) for the de luxe lighting system.
Please note; its maximum load is 120kg.
These adaptor plate scooter/motorbike racks are brilliant in combination with panel van camper
conversions. The only problem is that some vans and their respective towbars are limited to a towball
download of 120kg (or less!). The good news is that the most popular van base vehicle, the Fiat
Ducato/Peugeot Boxer/Citroen Relay brotherhood can carry 150kg at the towball, in conjunction with
a Westfalia towbar (that's 120kg of bike and 30kg of scooter or motorcycle rack).
Please give us a call or drop us an e-mail to check the carrying capacity of your own vehicle if you
are in any doubt.
