Hi, 

What options are there for transportation of bikes with an Alphard?

re. A high level rear bike rack, I’ve been advised that this could be a problem due to the high level spoiler that I have. 
re. A tow bar mounted rack, is there any way to obtain a towbar and electrics for the Alphard?

Many thanks,

Kate Minnican.

Hello Kate,

 

Welcome to the Forum.

 

Try Jacob at Topsham Car Sales.

 

Otherwise, this topic has been covered in the forum.

 

Try searching for Bike Rack; search box is on your home page, top right.

Its certainly possible to have a towbar fitted & I use a Pendle rack (permanently fitted bracket behind tow ball & two demountable bike support bars) fitted to mine

Once a tow bar has been fitted the swing-out bike carriers are probably worth a look for the convenience - something like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/146405918601?campid=5338947459&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338947459&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=5431a58eeed41782dca2c27c286ba243&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&msclkid=5431a58eeed41782dca2c27c286ba243 which avoids having to unload the bikes when opening the tailgate.

Of course you could always access the back of the van using the sliding door I guess.
