Why not pair that with a elaborate bike camper with all of the facilities of a tiny Airbnb?
We’ve talked about fairly a couple of bike campers previously, however the CapsulBike from French firm Tinyvroum certainly stands out as one of many fanciest we’ve ever seen. Now, in the event you keep in mind the Hupi Trailer we talked about a few months in the past, the CapsulBike is just about the identical idea, albeit barely extra inexpensive, and for my part, extra fashionable due to its rugged design. It’s extra inexpensive too, priced at 3,900 euros, translating to about $4,230 USD.
Technically talking, the CapsulBike may be pulled by a non-electric bicycle, however you’ll actually want legs of metal to tow this 69-kilogram (152-pound) camper up even a slight incline, so that you’re actually finest pairing it with a succesful electrical bicycle. Its dimensions are however relatively compact, with a size of two.8 meters (9.1 ft), a width of 1.1 meters (3.6 ft), and a peak of 1.4 meters (4.6 ft).

This can certainly be aided by the reminiscence foam mattress included within the camper.
You would say that a part of the enjoyable of tenting is being uncovered to the weather. Nonetheless, the CapsulBike throws in a little bit of security into the combo with “unbreakable” home windows, dual-side doorways, and LED lights. There’s even a provision for a roof tent permitting one other particular person to accompany you in your tenting adventures.
So as to add to the comfort options, the CapsulBike even has built-in kitchen facilities resembling an exterior folding desk, a 12-liter fridge, and a whole kitchen set. All of the electronics are powered by a 50-Ah battery for home equipment, and 140-watt photo voltaic cells for lengthy off-the-grid tenting journeys. Tinyvroum has even managed to incorporate a solar-powered bathe with a built-in 10-liter tank for heat water – speak about premium lodging off the grid.
Whereas all that’s cool and all, it’s value noting that for now, the CapsulBike e-bike camper is accessible solely in France and Belgium, so in the event you dwell outdoors of Europe, maybe you should use it as an inspiration so that you can construct your individual e-bike camper.
