For many campers, the bike is simply part of the journey. In addition to the usual commercially available bicycle racks, Bürstner also offers other well thought-out solutions for the safe transport of bicycles in its vehicles. Here you can find out which components have been specially developed for bike transport and how to use them effectively.
Bürstner bicycle rack
- Bike Carrier Shuttle: The Bike Carrier Shuttle is a bicycle rack designed for carrying two bicycles. With a load-bearing capacity of 28 kg per bike, it is ideal for e-bikes and offers a total load-bearing capacity of 56 kg. These components are ideal for camper vans based on the Fiat Ducato or Citroën Jumper and ensure that your bikes can be transported safely and stably.
- Bike Carrier Swing: For additional comfort, Bürstner offers the Bike Carrier Swing . With its swivelling carrier arm for two bikes, it allows easy access to the interior of the C-Class. Just like the Bike Carrier Shuttle, it offers a load-bearing capacity of 28 kg per bike and ensures secure fastening during the ride.

Safety and practical tips
- Loading & positioning: When loading bicycle racks mounted on the rear wall, make sure to load the heaviest bicycle first and place it as close as possible to the rear wall. Please note that the rear walls of Bürstner motorhomes carry a maximum of 60 kg including the weight of the bicycle rack (unfortunately, it is not possible to mount them on a GRP rear wall). Use straps for the front and rear wheel to ensure a secure hold.
- Observe vehicle limits: The maximum vehicle width including carrier must not exceed 2.55 m. There should be no side overhangs and the rear lights and licence plate must always remain visible.
- Instructions for use: Fold up the carrier when not in use and secure it. Check the fastenings after the first 10 km and at every break to make sure that everything is firmly anchored. Avoid travelling with an empty, unfolded carrier to increase protection and driving safety.
Regulations abroad
In some countries, such as Italy and Spain, red and white warning signs for protruding loads are mandatory. In Italy, these must measure 50×50 cm and be made of aluminium with five red and four white stripes. In Spain, the same size is required, but with three red and three white stripes. Find out about the exact requirements before travelling to avoid legal problems.
⚠️ Safety instructions
Make sure that you secure the bicycle rack correctly and do not exceed the specified load capacity. Check all fastenings regularly, especially after long journeys or on uneven terrain. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and regulations to ensure safety.
