bike-campers

We expect the occasional bicycle RV launch, but Grounded has released something we weren't expecting at all. Its T1 micro-camper is a live-in e-trike-powered tractor-trailer with standing height interior, panoramic windows, and space for two.

Last year, BeTriton introduced an innovative ebike camping trailer that doubles as an electric boat. Now it's back with an electrified version that puts out its own motor power so cyclists can tow it via a traditional bicycle, no need for an ebike.

TinyVroum's bicycle camping trailer looks and lives more like a motor vehicle caravan. The company has used light backpacking equipment to give its ebike-pulled CapsulBike camper the amenities of a larger RV, including a galley, power and wet bath.

The Hupi ebike trailer takes on a fixed-roof caravan design, rising high to create a spacious interior with bedroom and tiny dinette. Its available solar kit collects power for use with camping accessories and charging the ebike itself.

VW camper van specialist Spacecamper is experimenting with a bike camper as smart and flexible as its vans. The Spacecamper Bike concept adds a deployable tarp, multi-adjustable sleeping platform and mobile workstation to an electric cargo bike.

Instead of making a caravan to tow via bicycle, Flevobike integrates ebike and camper together, creating an ingenious pickup camper-like pedaled micro-RV. The tiny electric camper includes a solar charging system for off-grid camp and e-drive power.

With the advent of ebikes, towable bike RVs are becoming a more attractive (and available) option. The latest is a solo teardrop made completely of aluminum and outfitted with an electrical command center, skylight, indoor/outdoor table and more.

When you first see the Z-Triton 2.0 you may find yourself wondering whether this strange-looking vehicle is a boat, a trike, or some kind of micro-shelter – and it's a yes to all three. Pre-orders are now open, prices start at around €14,500.

The new mini-campers of 2021 included some of the most versatile multipurpose camper vans we've ever seen, tiny teardrops light enough to tow by bicycle, and modular camper kits so small and flexible they make campers out of three-door hatchbacks.

The bike camper market finds itself maturing beyond one-off garage creations to polished retail trailers. The Mody caravan arrives as a classic tiny teardrop made from lightweight composites and specced for ebike road touring and mountain biking.

Austrian inflatable tent specialist GentleTent is slowly adapting its air-filled tent technology from ground camping to vehicular camping. Its B-Turtle pop-up bike camper hauls gear, then inflates to create a cozy two-person shelter.

Back in November we reported on Denmark-based Mads Johansen's effort to manufacture a two person caravan that can be towed by bicycle. Johansen reports that he has moved beyond the prototype stage and the Wide Path Camper is now available for pre-order.
