VeloveBikes | Velove Armadillo electric cargo bike with semi-trailer as bike camper @VeloveBikes | Uploaded August 2017 | Updated October 2024, 10 minutes ago.
This Velove Armadillo cargo bike with semi-trailer and canopy often gets the comment "I would like to use it as a camper!". So of course I had to try it out! It was ridden from Gothenburg to Hyssna for a crayfish party, used as a camper and then ridden back. One way distance about 50 km. The only thing that was added was a mattress, sleeping bag and pillow. Sound system was already mounted!
So is there a point to REALLY use it as a camper, for touring? If you want to cover maximum distance per day, I think there are better solutions. But if you enjoy riding a little bit slower, taking in everything you pass then this might be interesting. If also adding a few square meters of solar panels to keep the batteries charged and a hard, lockable shell it could actually be a really enjoyable way to travel. A cosy bed, well above ground, is always ready for you, and you have electric assist without having to charge at night! Would be fun to make a really cosy interior. Who will be the first one to do it?
