That E-boat bike is the best thing I've ever seen . I'm gonna look up on that e-boat bike cause if there's anything that I love and that's camping and fishing . So thank you for advertising all these wonderful inventions .
One thing I noticed was missing on all of them was a solar panel to wire into the bike to help keep it charged. With the small motors bikes have, a large panel on the camper would do a lot.
There're a lot of badly optimised things in most of these campers, including heavy shelves that could've been elastic string/net holders, poor storage choices and high centres of gravity. 100% agree on the solar panel though, a huge missing step from most of these.
The 3rd was amazing..land or water. I bet it gets hot as,hell in those things in the 103 degree summer ..but the MYPOD was my favorite. It looks safe like you could lock the doors it has a bed toilet television and you can buy that tent to make an extra room for daytime use. It even has air conditioning which is a must for the muggy south...I would totally live in a MYPOD :)
A 2 to 3 person tent can be pitched in a few minutes. Plus, weight would not exceed 3kg. With panniers you can access more terrain, take more routes. A pannier setup would also be much lighter, more maneuverable and the range would be longer. These microcampers are basically heavy and stiff pitched tents. Great concept, looks cute and cozy but it doesn't seem to compute.
I just said the same. If someone has "trouble" pitching a tent they should probably stick to motels. We use a Burley flatbed and a Travoy. No need for a bike towed Winnebago! I could see these being fun for an overnighter, but otherwise they are pretty dumb and not a good solution.
The only advantage of microcampers that I can think of is when you move from one place to another and don't want to unpack each time (i.e. set up the bed and other stuff inside a tent), but most of those still require some unpacking so I don't see the point.
@@petiteange08 Yes, good point. And the terrain is failrly flat, the places you would like to go to are relatively nearby and you have lots of time. Perhaps also a long range electric bike with access to power for recharging.
I have some experience in living out of a small place, an airplane. A SMALL plane, and one thing I found necessary was once I had my plane sleeping bunk made up, all my gear had to be left outside, a tarp was needed in inclement weather. The Trek King looks boss, love the aero design and the construction method used.
Living in a plane sounds like fun, nice one Portneufflyer👍, it's great to learn of other people's alternative living spaces. You should write about it, I would definitely like to read about that kind of lifestyle.
Homeless people are homeless because of stupid life choices. If you give them a million dollars they would be broke again next week and would have nothing to show for it.
About 20 years ago I was looking to build something similar to these for myself and my little dog. E-bike prices were outrageous back then and battery technology wasn't as good as today. Sadly my little shadow crossed the Rainbow Bridge a few years back and my health went with her. My bike tripping days are over now, so all I can do is watch videos of what could've been!
A thin piece of fiberglass isn’t going to stop anybody or anything either if they have a mindset of getting in.Maybe a bulletproof camper made out of lead with a one inch steel door might help.
I think these are Great👍 Especially the last home-made one would be ideal shelter for homeless people out there, if the Govt could fund these for them🙏🏽😇
A lot of people in the US are already living like that, just carrying tents. It's really only ideal in perfect weather and places that allow overnight camping. Sadly, not too common here and doesn't solve the problem of giving the homeless an address, healthcare, or safety. Basically just a roof that moves..

Would be great if you are taking your SUV into a National Park, etc, and then biking a couple of miles into the interior. Don't forget you are going to have to portage in water and bring out your refuse.
@@zambitiber1394 Some would others wouldn't. Some would use them, some would sell them for next to nothing, others would use them till they broke and then scrap them, still others would simply abandon them as they moved on because they are too heavy. I know this because I interact with the homeless community on nearly a daily basis. I have watched as they tossed food they got from the local soup kitchen/food bank because it was too much of a hassle to carry it back to the nearest homeless camp. Things that cost them nothing to acquire have no value to them and are quickly discarded or sold for cash.
I love bike campers. I think I have looked at every one on you tube. Just like everything else in life you have to find what's good for you. Like off roading. Touring, bikepacking the list goes on. I definitely want one. Can I manage one in a busy city and small apartment? No! If I was a little more in the suburbs then absolutely! Without a doubt. But I'm always gonna try to figure something out. Because why not?
Oh man! Someone needs to add an extra battery bank w/solar panels to wire into your electric bike turning it into 100+mile superior rig. You already hitched to the trailer so you could easily wire it in and also have brake/taillights that function!
Not the same benefit, unless you're being facetious. Many of these are trailers which carry luggage also, for example. Or these have a sturdier design. The myPod even had AC. Try and think it through a little next time ok?
Generally you can't actually go too far on an electric bike especially as you would be lugging a trailer behind you and not sure if a solar panel would be enough to charge your bike battery anyway so great idea but I really don't think so 🤔
The Mini Mate Motorcycle Camper is unequalled in its design, quality, practicality and longevity! The additional awning or add a room increases versatility and many owners of small cars are finding it perfect for towing and camping with. This is THE original motorcycle camper, and its designer got it right first time! Mini Mate Motorcycle Campers hold their value and don't usually appear on the secondhand maket, but when they do, they're snapped up quickly.
This setup will definitely be great on the Pacific Coast highway hitting the ocean the beaches the campsites people bicycle at PCH one all the time on the way to Seattle back to San Diego best trip on the planet
not really, maybe first to talk to several/many Dutch people about these trailers. Many Dutch people cycle daily to school/work, much more often classic bicycles than electric ones. Many dutch people also tend to go camping for holidays, however the majority wouldn't see that much value in these things, especially not for the price points they are sold at. A tent will gave you more space, just as much insulation as most of these, and will take up a lot less space and weight in comparison. There are no real benefits to these that make sense if you would use a normal bicycle, especially when taking cost into consideration. While I can also easily fix some small damage on a bike, especially a mountainbike (the easiest type to fix imo), that won't be as easy on one of these trailers.
Oh wow! All of these are so cool! I love the amphibious one. That might have to be something we look into. We wanted to build a house boat but that might be a nicer compact one.
@@jama211 I don't know our teardrop trailer has a sleeping area less than the size of a full size mattress and we sleep on that. It doesn't look too much terribly larger than a full size mattress so could be the same size
Just WOWSERS!! I've NEVER seen anything like this! I would definitely love to have a caravan of folks getting together doing this!! And the lil boat thing in addition to it is off the charts!! Just as long as the waves are at a minimum. you're good to GO!! 🚲🛥🛣🌎🏕 Now all it needs is a built in helicopter to finish it off!! But a drone garage space will do!! LMAO!! this is awesome and fun for everyone!!
Amazing idea not many drive a car,also gr8 for charity to kind solve thos homless giv them dignity while looking for perm housing this be great fir carapace for thoz just staying over nite.i shared this I thort it was cool.looks bigger inside.
I like the Leesure-Lite one but in all honesty I'd go for a regular tent if I weren't limaxaphobic. The expense & inconvenience of a large trailer is a fairly poor trade-off for being a few inches away from slug-kind.
I like the one that the old man was pulling behind his scooter...I could see that hooked up to my MGB...BUT, are any of these companies in Australia...?? you know, we exist as well down here and like to do these activities...
As much as I love every single one of these designs, if you have people who are at least 6 foot, and someone else who is 5 foot 7 a full-size bed is not big enough. Queen size so much better.
All of these are really nice and functional but how much does the one for the bicycle cost. Because I know there's a lot of homeless people out there with bicycles that could use something like this. God bless and thank you
I think these are best suited for motorbikes and tiny smart cars. Ebike ranges would drop by a lot with that much weight. And on a regular bike, I wouldn't get very far towing all that. 😅 Kudos to the people who pull it off though! PS:- Also curious to see how these hold up in the wind!

They want about 11,500 EUR for it though. Still neat though.
The Scout is my favourite
It's a kludge and good at nothing.

There was ONE camper trailer that DOES come with a solar panel !!!

Get a motorcycle with a side car & a pitbull. You will be fine. 😂
Never go camping without a tarp. Just don't do it.

Some of these would be great for homeless people. But they couldn't afford it. The one with the air conditioning is the one I would camp in.
Homeless people are homeless because of stupid life choices. If you give them a million dollars they would be broke again next week and would have nothing to show for it.
Very Interesting. Wish I was 40 yrs younger then I could go camping again.
41 is not too old to camp.

Sorry to hear that :( Thanks for your comment and for watching us!
I have crossed the Rainbow Bridge many times, on my way to the Odaiba area of Tokyo. It's a lovely bridge with great views of the city!
Battery technology still sucks. Pulling one of these trailers behind an ebike will get you about 10 miles. So much for those long distance adventures.
“Mi pequeña sombra cruzó el puente del Arcoíris” 💕💕que bonita manera de describir su partida, hermosos recuerdos con tu perrita 🐶🐾
I don’t care for the amphibious one but as long I don’t have to sleep on the ground I’m happy.
I wouldn’t sleep in any canvas camper, hard shells only. I watch too many creepy camping videos and stories. Lol
A thin piece of fiberglass isn’t going to stop anybody or anything either if they have a mindset of getting in.Maybe a bulletproof camper made out of lead with a one inch steel door might help.
Mace...bear spray...personal alarm...tazer....Byrna...:gun
Get a photon blaster.
I was just thinking that...but if they add a lockable door on the sleeping part...i would
Still won't stop a skinwalker/wendigo/bigfoot or Dogman 😜😜😜

theres also Bikestream RV, based in indiana. they make campers made from plastic cardboards, they are pretty nice, no setup required
I like the second to last one. The pod one. It had everything in there!
I am bout to make a cross country road trip, consider a Vancamp but preferable to these awesome Campers + SUV = easy peasy.
Thanks for your posted.

On the third one, the plant WON me over!!
We need more of this in Australia.
So why don't you show more of the interiors? The outsides are very nice, but nobody sleeps draped over the roof. It'd be nice to see the amenities...
Insurance Agent: "I see you wish to make a claim; can you explain?"
Bike: "Sure! I was biking across this lake and my camper sunk".
I consider my 30-foot Winnebago to be micro camping
😅👍
😂😂😂
That boat thiny is straight out of my childhood dreams...
Would be great if you are taking your SUV into a National Park, etc, and then biking a couple of miles into the interior. Don't forget you are going to have to portage in water and bring out your refuse.
I liked 3!
The Leisure lite
Mini Mate and
My Pod
The My Pod was my top favorite
This would be awesome to give to the homeless.
They wouldn't use them.
@@zambitiber1394 says who?
That really depends on the individual and where they are at. Being homeless is not a homogeneous group.
@@zambitiber1394 Some would others wouldn't. Some would use them, some would sell them for next to nothing, others would use them till they broke and then scrap them, still others would simply abandon them as they moved on because they are too heavy.

Did anyone else notice the plant growing on top of the little boat? Precious!
Looks like it will take all the fun out of cycling
Love the water model.
Great if you go in a group but not for single person, someone could haul away while you're sleeping!!
My favorite homemade bike camper is still Robert B
Does it have storage space when it's all folded up? Where do you put your clothing, food, cooking gear, etc?
More tiny campers,tents,boats PLEASEEE
bike camping has arrived.
They all look like something you would use one time then say "That was neat" then park it forever.
The first one was cool as hell.
I like the first one. That would be ideal.
The Z-Tritan is dope as hell
Fantastic. An economic transportation and shelter for a traveller.
Seems like a tent would take up less room while offering the same benefit. To each his own. 😊
Not the same benefit, unless you're being facetious. Many of these are trailers which carry luggage also, for example. Or these have a sturdier design. The myPod even had AC. Try and think it through a little next time ok?

Hi @Felix Cat , Thanks for your valuable comment!
The my pad was so cute, right down to the toilet.
I like that you can assemble and desemble it
Ymmv tv
Mypod I think has my vote.
I'd do this if I had a Harley towing it! 🤘
Imagine having a kitchen & Shower in there.
The Mody , the bike boat and the my pod are interesting to try out .
I like #1. I found it the most useful .
Love the video and content, I just wish you’d take more time on the insides so we can imagine utilizing the camper.
Well at least we can now here the phrase "hey, your boat has a flat tire". That's gotta count for something.
The boat was interesting.
What do you think? Which of these bike campers and micro mobile caravans is your favorite? Let us know in the comments.👇 😉
Z Triton would be fun, but needs more ‘modularity’. myPod is a super concept for small car 🚙!
The boat looks the most fun.
All look amazing !! Mini mate,. The pod &&& good info! 😌🐈❤️
Thank you!😍
Add reflectix to your roll out awning and you'll have basically zero infrared heat coming down off of it.
These are neat concepts that open up a world of possibilities.
This setup will definitely be great on the Pacific Coast highway hitting the ocean the beaches the campsites people bicycle at PCH one all the time on the way to Seattle back to San Diego best trip on the planet
kinda cool but looks like a portable outhouse !! lol

This is camping though...... suck it up or don't go
with 100cc engine.
(for fuel efficient and environmentally friendly)
this will be the best camper bike ~
All of these are really nice and functional but how much does the one for the bicycle cost. Because I know there's a lot of homeless people out there with bicycles that could use something like this. God bless and thank you
