Camping with friends or family is fun. Sitting around the campfire together, spending the night in the great outdoors and simply enjoying the freedom. There's no question that camping is more popular than ever.

However, you shouldn't go without the right equipment, which will allow you to remain mobile at your holiday destination and explore the surrounding area flexibly. A folding camping bike is the perfect companion for holidays with lots of exciting discovery tours.

The many advantages of an electric folding bike for campers

Biking with a normal bike is fun and keeps you fit, but it can also be really strenuous. Especially if the tours are long or you are travelling in mountainous terrain. With an electric motor, inclines are no problem even for people with poor fitness. With them, you only have to exert a fraction of the effort yourself - a powerful electric motor does the rest.

Our electric folding bikes from myvélo are equipped with powerful rear hub motors that can withstand any terrain and get you to your desired destination quickly.



A clever e-folding bike for campers

Folding e-bikes are particularly clever for campers. They can be folded down to half the size and therefore only take up a fraction of the space of a real bike. Especially if you are travelling with a car, a tent and little luggage, you can safely do without a roof structure for the bike and simply stow your e-bike in the trunk.

If you are travelling without a car and use the bus or train instead, a folded electric folding bike for campers is also quite easy to carry. Most of the myvélo models weigh no more than around 17 kg. And compared to bikes from other manufacturers, they are real lightweights for folding bike campers.

This is achieved through a clever aluminum construction and lightweight, yet powerful motors. When camping, a folded camping bike often even fits into the tent, which protects your bike from being stolen at night.

More power thanks to powerful batteries: The electric folding bike for campers from myvélo

If you want to spend a lot of time cruising through the city and countryside on your folding e-bike while camping, you need a battery that can handle everything. A long range and short charging times are the most important criteria for a good battery. Quickly cycle to the bakery or go shopping on your bike? No problem for you if the e-bike's battery is ready for use at any time!

For our myvélo e-folding bikes, we make sure to use high-quality lithium-ion batteries from renowned manufacturers such as Samsung, which are both durable and reliable. If the battery is empty after a tour, it can be fully recharged within a few hours. And you can carry on!

Important! To ensure that you can use your battery for as long as possible, you should not charge it in sub-zero temperatures or in extreme heat. It is best to charge it at room temperature.



Because let's be honest! It's frustrating when you're sitting in the middle of nature and the battery on your folding e-bike is empty. This can be a problem when camping, especially if there is no power source nearby. To make sure this doesn't happen, a battery with enough range is a must. That's why our electric folding bikes are ideal for trips into nature - 60 to 70 km are no problem with our models on flat terrain.

A good tip: To save energy, you should use the bike's different gears as appropriately as possible while riding. For longer camping trips without the possibility of charging, we also recommend taking a second spare battery with you. This way you'll be on the safe side even on longer journeys.

Camping is fun: With the folding e-bike through nature

Most electric folding bikes are equipped with a motor on the rear wheel, although there are also models with a front wheel and mid-engine. Hub motors can generally be set to different levels - depending on the requirements of the terrain. The maximum speed of our myvélo e-folding bikes is 25 km/h - more is not permitted in Germany without a driver's license. This way we ensure that young and old can get out and about on our bikes.

Sporty folding bike riders are best advised to use a rear wheel motor, which is what most of our e-folding bikes are equipped with. This shifts the weight of the e-folding bike to the rear axle and makes braking much easier. You can control your bike better and enjoy the pleasant feeling of being pushed from behind while riding.

In addition, the bike is easier to steer at faster speeds than with front-wheel motors. We pay attention to the quality, durability and robustness of all our motors, so that the folding e-bike becomes a reliable camping companion for many years.

When is an electric folding bike worth it for camping?

E-folding bikes are pioneers of an innovative mobility concept and can be used not only for camping, but also in many other areas. Commuters like to use them, for example, to cover distances between the train station and work more quickly. Or to commute between several company buildings without losing time.

Need to quickly go to a meeting or the supermarket? No problem with a folding bike that is ready for use in just a few seconds. It can be folded up and left next to the desk at work without anyone being disturbed.

Nature lovers who like to explore the surrounding area on holiday but are wary of long distances or steep inclines are in the right place with an e-folding bike. Unlike bulky e-bikes, they hardly take up any space in the car. And thanks to their low weight, they can also be transported relatively easily by hand.

Our compact bikes fit easily into the trunk or even between the front and back seats in the car. On the train, you can simply place the folding bike next to you - so it is not in the way and does not hinder other passengers.

In short! An electric folding bike from myvélo is the perfect companion for anyone who wants to be mobile and environmentally conscious. Whether you're camping, commuting to work or just in your free time.
