    This is nice but not an option for me. This won’t pass through any chicane of the cycling network and I wouldn’t be able to leave my town. I also wouldn’t have any space to store it when not in use. Plus, I’m usually doing multi day trips that amounts to more km than what an electric bike can do on a single charge in a day, and pulling a camper behind would reduce even more the possible range.

    I fantasized a lot about campers like this, thinking I could leave it at my parent’s and tour my native region. But again, chicanes… chicanes everywhere.

    I would have to use the roads, with cars, and be very limited in range compared to what I’m used to. So unfortunately, as nice as this seems, it’s not really an option.

    EDIT: Here’s an example of a very tight chicane on a remote rail trail.

      Ah, that’s a shame. I do remember seeing a Youtube video of a lady who made her own minimalist teardrop bike camper that looked like it would be a lot less unwieldy than the one I linked, but it would still reduce the ebike range by a nonzero amount.
