Converting Your Utility Vehicle for Motorcycle Use
Table of Contents
Whether you're into motocross, enduro, trials, or road bikes, your vehicle needs to be practical, versatile, and optimized to transport your motorcycle safely. But that's not all: a van conversion for motorcycles should also provide a comfortable living space, suitable for all situations, whether you're going for a quick training session or a weekend on a racetrack or in nature.
A well-designed motorcycle van conversion isn't just about transporting your bike. It must also allow you to live comfortably, be self-sufficient, and maintain a versatile vehicle for your daily use. So, what's the best solution?
What Would Be the Ideal Conversion Solution for Transporting Your Motorcycle?
A motorcycle van conversion must offer a dual functional aspect: on one side, a secure garage to store your bike, keeping it safe from the elements and prying eyes; on the other side, a comfortable and modular living space.
One of the common mistakes is opting for a fixed layout. Yet, a motorcyclist doesn't always need a bed! Sometimes, you're just going for the day, and you don't need a bed or a kitchen. That's why a removable van conversion kit is much more suitable: it allows you to free up or reorganize the space according to your needs.
Storage is another key point. Your motorcycle gear takes up space: helmet, boots, gloves, knee guards, fuel cans, spare tires, tools... A good layout must incorporate well-thought-out storage modules to store all this equipment securely and accessibly.
It's also important to consider the maintenance of the vehicle. After a ride in muddy or sandy conditions, your motorcycle van conversion must be easy to clean. Water-resistant materials like laminate or varnished wood are ideal to prevent premature wear and simplify maintenance.
Finally, for road trips or extended weekends, a motorcycle conversion kit must include the essentials to live autonomously:
- A comfortable and modular sleeping area
- A functional kitchen, compact and well-organized
- Effective lighting, clever storage
- An auxiliary battery, solar panels, a water tank, and even portable toilets for extra comfort
And most importantly, a well-designed motorcycle conversion must be user-friendly. In case of rain, it must be possible to settle inside, share a meal with the team, and wait for the weather to improve.
The Combeing Solution: Modularity for Motorcyclists
At Combeing, we understand that motorcyclists have specific needs. That's why we've designed an ultra-modular and versatile solution, perfectly suited to your usage. Our conversion kits transform your van or utility vehicle into a fully optimized means of transport while maintaining a comfortable living space.
One of the great advantages of Combeing kits is their ability to adapt. Our removable modules allow you to free up space for your bike while keeping an organized area. For example, our sports kit is designed to leave a clear passage to store your motorcycle inside, without compromising life on board.
Another advantage: storage. Thanks to our practical boxes and modules, you can store all your equipment in an optimized way. No more bags lying around! Your gloves, helmets, tools, tires, fuel, and accessories all have their place without cluttering your motorcycle van conversion.
In addition to this unbeatable modularity, Combeing focuses on simplicity, quality, and durability. Some parts of our kits are made of laminated and varnished wood, an ultra-resistant material, ideal for off-road motorcycles, sand, mud, and moisture. Unlike other more complex solutions, our concept and kit are simple, effective, and durable.
With Combeing, you also get a major advantage: your vehicle remains a utility vehicle. No need for approval, as the kit is 100% removable in just a few minutes. You can therefore keep your van functional for other uses and even reduce fuel consumption thanks to a lightweight conversion.
As for pricing, our kits are affordable: expect around €3500 for a complete conversion kit that allows you to transport your motorcycle and live comfortably in your van. Many motorcyclists already use our solutions for their racetrack, motocross, or long trips. Why not you?
What Are the Alternatives to the Combeing Solution for Motorcyclists?
If you're looking for a solution to transport your motorcycle in a van conversion, several alternatives to the Combeing kit exist. But they all have drawbacks:
- Rear platform: It blocks access to the vehicle, exposes your motorcycle to the elements and theft. Not ideal for security.
- Trailer perpendicular to the road: Difficult to maneuver and adds weight to your vehicle, increasing fuel consumption.
- Trailer parallel to the road: More stable but still bulky and restrictive. Where to store it when not in use?
- Integrated storage in the van: Requires a large motorcycle van, expensive and not modular. Impossible to use for anything else.
- Transport on the rear wheel: Rare and risky, could damage your motorcycle and complicate driving.
- Motorcycle at the front of the vehicle/van: Very rare, poses homologation issues and visibility problems.
None of these solutions offer the modularity, practicality, and freedom of the Combeing system. Why struggle with a trailer or limit your living space when a modular kit allows you to have everything in one vehicle?

I had put my kit in the basket. Sent an email with a question, Mathieu called me straight away, and even advised me on a better configuration. Appointment made 2 days after installation, with removal of my partition. And I was so well received that I added the kitchen module. A lovely, warm team. Go there with your eyes closed. I'll go back and do my insulation later... Thanks again... Sandra

We ordered our kit in September 2023 for our Opel Vivaro H1L2, we have used it well and made it profitable since. Received on a pallet with a very fast turnaround. A smooth and simple installation with several layout choices. We do not regret our investment. The materials after a year and a half are like new, you just have to take care of them. I recommend ??

We bought a Combeing kit a few months ago for our VW T5 transporter and we are very satisfied with it! Delivery was free and fast. Customer service is top notch, whether for information or responsiveness. The kits are adaptable to your type of vehicle but also to your use whether it is road mode, night mode or day mode (with table). Very good value for money. We highly recommend. And a big thank you to Mathieu for sending goodies!!

A great team, a high-quality product, a very competitive price. We sold our converted van because our annual usage time did not justify such an expensive investment. We bought a utility vehicle that we converted to our taste with the possibility of modifying its configuration according to our needs following the many very professional tips received from COMBEING. The team took the time to welcome us into the company and to assemble our modules in order to have a tailor-made layout with everything necessary to live independently: gas, water point, electricity, toilet, solar panel, shower... In short, everything necessary to live pleasant moments according to our desires without having to have our vehicle approved in VASP. Thanks again to the whole team for their welcome, their availability and their professionalism which really deserve to be highlighted

Really great, the team is really cool, the products sold (sports kit for VW T6 for me) are really great (but I didn't doubt that, I had already planned everything thanks to their website, but with their advice I made some changes that suit me better). I also did the sprayed cork insulation before going to get my kit, super simple and beautiful rendering. I really recommend more than ever. Thank you and good luck in your new premises.

I was looking for a van that could be used as a daily, utility or leisure vehicle and with the Combeing Full kit, I found exactly what I wanted for my L1H1 van. I spoke several times with Mathieu and Raphaël, their listening, their responsiveness and their availability as well as their advice and services were very valuable in guiding me in my choices... In short, very well-made kits, easy and quick to set up, as well as a great team mean that I highly recommend this friendly company...

We made an appointment, Mathieu welcomed us warmly and showed us around the workshop, then we went to the selection area to recap and make the quote. We had all the necessary technical explanations as well as his advice and feedback. The guy is sincere and super professional. Our choice validated, he helped us throughout the time needed to set up the modules. Again, lots of advice and tips, thanks to him. I thought the idea was absolutely brilliant on paper but it's even better in the van, the possibilities are endless, the quality is great, everything is thought out down to the smallest detail. In the end, it confirms that with my 1m70 we can sleep across without any problem and therefore keep the table in place during the night. Conclusion: we are satisfied beyond our expectations. Thank you COMBEING, thank you to the brilliant inventor and thank you Mathieu for your advice
