- An ingenious system that caught my eye at Caravan Salon Düsseldorf 2018.
For more information, please see: www.sawiko.com
These great motorcycle trailers and loading ramps are made my Sawiko, part of the Al-Ko Kober Group. For availability in your country, contact your local Al-Ko dealership.
This is an ingenious and space-saving way to carry your motorcycle or scooter with a motorhome or a camper van, or even a car.

I noticed in the vertical garage view that they had stored 2 x spares wheels, for trailer AND towing vehicle, underneath. Another problem solved for many motorhomers.
I have recently made a motorcycle rack where I can safely climb on the motor with the help of three ramps. What you see in the video is a steel rail that supports the important piece, that is the wheel stop that also unbalances the bike. This mechanism, however, despite being very fast, still requires a little initial preparation. The times, in comparison with mine, are the same. The difference is that mine can carry 500 kg in complete safety, precisely because it has no parts that can be disassembled. The ramps clip together in a heartbeat and also have an anti-theft lock. The designer of this, however, has greatly reduced the overall dimensions. Congratulations for the great video and a caress to your furry friend!
For an old man such as myself, this could significantly reduce the effort of loading and unloading a bike as well as the safety if you consider those who ride up onto a trailer or truck. Very smart.
I think this is so cool when your trying to limit your load. Especially what you have behind you. I bet it saves a little on gas as well. Clever. Extremely clever.
Excellent product! Maybe some day it will make it to the states.
Brilliant piece of kit Andrew , well now we know what you are treating yourself to this Christmas !! Luv the way Dougall has his paw around your neck , such a sweetie !! ATB !
Very nice kit.. and I think Dougal did almost smile, he blinked his eyes at least. Love that dowg x.
Really clever! I was a motorcyclist in the 80s although today I am a cyclist. I see the great benefits of this. Having the motorcycle across the ways on the trailer makes it so much more compact. For a motorhomer I think that would be quite a boon. The standard motorcycle trailer is a huge long thing in comparison.
If Patrick used a cordless electric drill he would be the superstar of the show .
What a great trailer , like it a lot 👍
Another interesting video. Last day tomorrow, Sunday, I hope you have enjoyed your visit to Germany. Have a good last day and a safe and good onward journey.
Hi Andrew, Very ingenious motorcycle carrier, well engineered, appears to be well constructed, however it's grossly over priced.
It's great you can bring us these type of video, interesting to see European innovation,& what Amdrew likes is interesting too, thank you Sir!
😍😘💞🐐⭐
Best one I’ve seen so far
I've recently found out that they are sadly not available in the UK - meh!
That’s a pretty nifty system.
That looks really simply to use, especially for someone with a motorhome as you say
Hi Andrew, cheers for your reply. Yes AL-KO UK dont stock or even order these sawiko trailers but they did put me in touch with Nova Leisure Nuneaton . Nova leisure are contacting Alko Germany for me for a price off the wheely universal model and getint me Some other details about it but have Saïd they probably Will be able to order me the sawiko wheely model but would-be about 5 weeks minimum for delivery from Germany . They bring them over with the New Motorhomes ,when a Motorhome dealership in UK has new motorhomes ariving here
Close to your ❤️. Thanks Andrew. Best regards Martin and Anne
Treat Yourself...Dougal would love one..
That’s a great device, I wonder if they’ll be exhibiting at the NEC in October? Love to have a good nosey at the different guises👍
Being disabled I could use a system like that to load an off road power chair into the motorhome garage! Simple ideas are always the best! All I need is an electric drive to do the work!
Simon Cooper a decent battery powered drill with the right adapter would sail thu that , I use in engineering all the time,may need a cheap step down gearbox
That was just cool...very innovative...
I have a Toyota Tacoma (Highlux) and usually load the motorcycle myself. It's always a difficult load up the ramp under power. This type of video shows the difficulty of a single life. You have made a video of your caravan electric power mover and your expressed need for a backup camera. Maybe this subject could be a proposed series of issues for singles and finding appropriate solutions perhaps? (I can think of 100 difficult issues for single, young and old alike, caravaners). Nice job Andrew!
Mannuel Festoli I have to agree. It seems each time I take my rig out I’m finding something else that annoys me or causes me difficulty.
Great idea. I'd need to do a lot of planning first as I've just got so used to 'just doing it'.
I guess it serves a purpose if you live somewhere that does not have much garage space or you can't just store your trailer in your yard behind your house/garage. One thing that I think might be an issue though is that because it is so short, it is going to be more difficult to back up in a straight line. I don't think it would be a success in the US since we are not that cramped for space and we can get a much larger trailer for the same price or less.
Because it put the bike crossways on the trailer, it means that the trailer is going to be wider (albeit quite a bit shorter). Considering the size of some of the roads that I encountered while driving in the UK and Europe, I suspect that added width might be an issue.
Oh well... It's interesting to see the different ways that other countries try to solve the same problem... :)
That’s ingenious !
Awe, the Pup was the Best Part of the Video!
Fantastic idea!
Brill , great piece of equipment best of both worlds 😎
Thank you for the fantastic video's
Over the week from dusseldorf
I think you could adapt the loading mechanical for your truck.
Talk to the people. I bet they could come up with a great design using your truck and bike as a sample.
Then you could be their "Slide-it-on" ambassador.
Wow. Makes me want a motor bike just so I can have one of these. 😁
All those small trailers are nice and innovative! Can be tow by a small vehicle too! But at a high speeds are safe? Not in america! It looks like they swivel very easy, and when change lanes? Those systems would work fine on top of the front or back of an RV, in the same wheel base. Another thing is that because the bikes are in that position, they will get damages by the debris of the road! Is my point of view, maybe I'm wrong!
Any disadvantages to towing horizontally vs vertically? Wind resistance, road debris?
Brilliant design!
How about mounted to a truck bed? Maybe an American pickup?
Really like this!!!
Excellent! Now I want a secondhand one for €1000!!!
Amazing product. I have a standard bike trailer and loading up on your own can be a risky business.
Depends witch trailer you use
Clever 👍🐕
Bernie in palm springs
Can you buy just the track and winch so I can put the bike inside of a van ??
That’s fantastic 👍
wow, very nice unit
I can't see how this is a better solution than any other bike trailer...... They all work..... The bike is jusr sideways on this one, meaning its more likely to fall over with sudden braking........ Straps can fail, so i would prefer the bike facing forward.......
Absolutely top shelf
That’s such a great idea 😀
I really feel like I’m missing something here. It seems to me a traditional trailer that loads two motorcycles instead of one is accomplishing the same thing for half the price. I don’t see anywhere how this is explaining it to be a solution for anything specifically. I do see the trailer overall is shorter but I own a Kendon Trailer where the tail end does fold up to make it very short and it also stands up. I can load 2 Very Heavy street bikes on it very easily facing forward and aft which in my opinion makes it more stable for heavy breaking. What am I missing on this product?
Why is it you never see these in The States Daytona, Florida during (BIKEWEEK or BIKETOBERFEST). At my age this is a must. Are there any dealers in The States?
Really cool idea but I think I will stick with the free hill method.
would the bike drive its self up without using a winch
Great video, would be perfect for me if you could put a mobility scooter in the box trailer and have a bike on a rack too. Love to Dougal x
Impossible to find out the length of it…! Or the height when standing 🤔
Wow, that's an excellent solution! Expertly demonstrated by Patrick from Alko, also very impressive. Would this solution work with your Navara though, as your bike appears to be positioned at a slight angle?
Wonder if the witch could be made electronically to pull bike on my motor home?
Has the product evolved to put this system IN a camper van?
What if you’ve got a 3 wheeler like the Yamaha Tricity or Piaggio MP3?
Too wide and too short. Trying to back that up would be like trying to push a noodle.
How good is that , thank you
Ingenious buy a winch and some of the slats and you will easily have a system in the Navara.
We could all do with someone like Patrick....
Indeed...
Too bad - it doesn’t seem to be available in the states?
I can see a small ATV electric winch in that setups future. It looks a particularly safe/stable system. Did you check to see if they do a Ute setup?
Nice, but I have a question - how do you secure the sledge not to go further to the front? I see two black plastic stoppers that will have no chance when a big force will push them.Thank you
This is nice, but I’m looking for something that will sit on top of my truck bed, not in the bed, but above the bed, so still can carry other thing in the bed
1 problem. Wind makes a difference when you start pulling something that should be in line with it🤔🤔
Why not just drive the bike up? 👀
Brilliant design pity it's a bit wide for using with a standard car.
Can this be used in a van? The winch handle looks like it needs to be offa flat surface....
Kind of a short trailer. Couldnt you just ride the bike onto the trailer?
One question, how you unloading the bike? Very interesting
Interesting. I'm an aspiring-to-be vandweller but I also ride. I don't think I can take my Triumph Rocket III with me though, may have to downsize... well, looking at that trailer, I suppose I could, but it would probably be a bit more practical to have a bike that didn't weigh the next best thing to 400 kilos. However, I would really prefer a covered trailer if I'm going to get a trailer. It would be nicer if the bike wasn't out in the elements, especially behind a van where all the road dirt would just cover the thing.
Good point. I think if you are looking to do this full-time, then a covered trailer is still the way to go as you can put other bits and pieces in there too, such as brush, bucket, even leathers and lid... but this trailer (and especially the loading system) is really cool for most motorhomers' needs.
Yeah the loading system is great, pretty much eliminates the risk of any abysmal loading failures.
How can I purchase one of these trailers?
Hello great video & great ramp. Is this available in USA ? I’m only interested on the ramp to put on my truck.
How about long way, for longer motorcycles. Such as Gold Wing or HD.
Thought it would attach to a caravan somehow. Mega expensive for what it is?
Can we also smuggle Patrick over to the NEC along with Alexander from Dethleffs 🙊
In the voice of Austen Powers: 'Oh, be-HAVE!!!' ;@)
Is there a demo of getting the bike back off the trailer ?
Commented before watching the end of the video - looks absolutely great !
seems like alot if mucking about. Just push your bike onto a normal trailer.
What about a Easylifter Hydra trail?
I would love to have something like this in the back of my Toyota Tacoma.
My question is, the height level of the bed is higher than that trailer that looks like 0.61 meters.
Also my Harley is almost 362 Kilograms and wonder if that winch and track can hold that much?
I don't want the trailer, just the track and loading system.
Can the track be purchased only and mounted to a pickup truck bed?
Nice but here's the downside (sorry!) Trailer that short on a long van/motorhome - all but impossible to reverse if caught on a narrow lane or pass!!!!
Did see a similar "Motorbike across a very short trailer" recently towed by a motorhome but trailer was mounted to vehicle at 2 points and trailer wheels were on castors. Result no articulation at all, so much better than this for reversing
Looks nicely made though and that rail system would be great in the back of a pick-up like yours Andrew
Good point! Would hate to reverse with one of those on the back.
How do I get one in the U.S.?
Figure out how to Connect a battery powered drill to it
How would this loading system work in your truck
Thanks for a great video, Andrew. Do you think this would work for an electric bicycle? I am a small senior female and lifting 80 pounds into the back of a van is a little beyond my ability.
Well, I did see a van with an electric winch so I don't see why not!
19 Feb 2019 - Unfortunately unavailable in UK - according to:
Christian Wentrup, Kundenmanagement Vertrieb, Customer Management Sales
ALOIS KOBER GMBH
That's such a pity. My friends had similar problems trying to get hold of one.
Fabulous
nice bit pricey, do they sell the runner system with out trailer.
Just get a box trailer no stone rash and secure
Is it coming to USA?
Brilliant, simply brilliant! Are these available in the UK do we know?
Sadly not David. Al-ko UK did not take them on :(
@@andrewjditton great shame, what fantastic solution. Thanks Andrew, keep posting all those vlogs, always really informative.
I wonder how the road behavior is of a trailer with such a short wheel base........
Have you looked at OZI Concept bike trailers?
Very cool, but expensive.
did you get one for your pick-up truck ? im thinking of buying one with electrical motor but hope the ramp to the truckbed doesnt get too steep
Sadly not. This is not sold in the UK :(
Hello Andrew, loved your video at the caravan salon in Dusseldorf at the Sawiko stand motorbikes trailers. Having called Alko UK at southam I find out you can't actually buy these sawing trailers in the UK or through Alko. You have to order them through a motor home accessories dealers like Nova leisure Nuneaton and they may be able to get these ordered from Germany. I am looking into it. Did you get one off these trailers yourself mate. Paul
Hello again Paul, I don't have one and I know now that they are not really available in the UK. As I mentioned before, your best bet is to contact Al-ko in Germany through their website. Cheers!
lol 3300 , not now ive seen it , its a weekends work.
Hi Andrew, how do I purchase the 3000 euros trailer you demonstrated please, its brilliant, regards
Check out the website in the description Colin, and contact your local Al-Ko people. Cheers!
Are they available in the U.S ?
😃 Hier haben wir das Video mit Einbau und Anleitung der Motorradverladehilfe im Kastenwagen 🛠️ th-cam.com/video/HPXliKhxWzc/w-d-xo.html
Great! Thanks for that.
Hi Andrew where can you buy this trailer in the uk please?
Sadly it is not available in the UK in 2020 :(
@@andrewjditton ah ok thanks for taking the time to reply 👍
How much?!!!! I believe you can also use a sledge hammer to break nuts. Never knowingly under engineered. Lol.
Very expensive.
Love this trailer, emailed the company three times trying to buy one, get asked to fill out some forms and then never hear from them again!! Complete Joke!😡
yep bloody hopeless, i am in Australia after 20 emails and trying to get a reply they send me to a distributor that is not interested in supplying.
I spoke to Al-ko at the NEC show in February 2019 asking why they didn't sell this in the UK. The guy said someone would get back to me. Nobody did.
To wide
