(Image courtesy New Atlas)Technology publication New Atlas always has its eye out for new and interesting twists on established ideas, and this little number certainly fits the bill.
We’ve seen a number of bicycle and ebike camping trailers sprout up over the past decade, but more integrated bike campers remain rare (but awesome). Dutch recumbent and velomobile innovator Flevobike helps alleviate the shortage with one of the most ingenious little pedal-powered RVs we’ve seen.
Its GoCamp module pairs with its GoLo e-assisted cargo quadricycle much the way a pickup camper slides into a truck. The tiny electric motorhome then pedals along with an expandable hard-roofed interior with convertible lounge/bed, indoor/outdoor dining area and workstation, and solar-charged battery powering both camper and electric drive.
GoLo Bike is Flevobike’s dedicated cargo bike (quadricycle) brand specializing in commercial-grade e-cargo four-wheelers that carry loads up to 440 pounds (200 kg) and 1,400 L, fairly similar in style and objective to the Velove Armadillo. To further expand the GoLo possibilities, Flevobike has developed the GoCamp as a removable camper box with everything a rider needs to spend a night in the great outdoors between days of pedaling.
