Part of the joy of riding a bike \u2013 be it electric or otherwise \u2013 is exploring new places. Naturally, a person\u2019s willingness to go outside their comfort zone varies. For those looking to go on multi-day tours on their bikes, there are tons of new and innovative e-bikes with tons of range. Why not pair that with a fancy bike camper with all the amenities of a tiny Airbnb?<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve talked about quite a few bike campers in the past, but the CapsulBike from French company Tinyvroum surely stands out as one of the fanciest we\u2019ve ever seen. Now, if you remember the Hupi Trailer we talked about a couple of months ago, the CapsulBike is pretty much the same concept, albeit slightly more affordable, and in my opinion, more stylish thanks to its rugged design. It\u2019s more affordable too, priced at 3,900 euros, translating to about $4,230 USD.<\/p>\n

Technically speaking, the CapsulBike can be pulled by a non-electric bicycle, but you\u2019ll certainly need legs of steel to tow this 69-kilogram (152-pound) camper up even a slight incline, so you’re certainly best pairing it with a capable electric bicycle. Its dimensions are nevertheless rather compact, with a length of 2.8 meters (9.1 feet), a width of 1.1 meters (3.6 feet), and a height of 1.4 meters (4.6 feet). So no, you won\u2019t be able to stand up inside the CapsulBike, but you\u2019ll sure have more than enough space for a good night\u2019s sleep. This will surely be aided by the memory foam mattress included in the camper.<\/p>\n
You could say that part of the fun of camping is being exposed to the elements. However, the CapsulBike throws in a bit of safety into the mix with \u201cunbreakable\u201d windows, dual-side doors, and LED lights. There\u2019s even a provision for a roof tent allowing another person to accompany you on your camping adventures.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To add to the convenience features, the CapsulBike even has built-in kitchen amenities such as an exterior folding table, a 12-liter fridge, and a complete kitchen set. All the electronics are powered by a 50-Ah battery for appliances, and 140-watt solar cells for long off-the-grid camping trips. Tinyvroum has even managed to include a solar-powered shower with a built-in 10-liter tank for warm water \u2013 talk about premium accommodations off the grid.<\/p>\n
While all that is cool and all, it\u2019s worth noting that for now, the CapsulBike e-bike camper is available only in France and Belgium, so if you live outside of Europe, perhaps you can use it as an inspiration for you to build your own e-bike camper.<\/p>\n
