A platform system for use with a vehicle (100 Fig.1a) comprising a movable platform 108 where the platform system is deployable between a stowed configuration, concealed by a movable cover (104 Fig.2c), and a deployed configuration. The platform may have a rotating means (303 Fig.2d) with interlocks to secure platform at multiple angles. The platform may have lights 124 such as; signal, brake, reversing, rear position, indicator or turn signals. Platform may deploy by; telescopic arm, rail, runner, guide, track, or hinge. Deployment may be actuated by actuator controlled from cabin or wirelessly. A platform system for use with a vehicle (100 Fig.1a) comprising a movable platform 108 having a support surface on a first side (118 Fig.2d), a means 122 for securing at least one bicycle (126 Fig.2f) on a second side 120; and a first configuration where the first side (118 Fig.2d) is substantially upwards and a second configuration where the second side 120 is substantially upwards.
