The SpaceCamper is an electric bike with unique capabilities: its modified structure allows you to accommodate a bed and hang a tent on it to camp wherever you want. A small table can even be installed there.
If e-biking and camping are among your favorite activities, then this SpaceCamper has something for you. Imagined by a certain Ben Wawra, anxious to design a VAE capable of both transporting it to work and sleeping anywhere, the model has very special capacities.
The SpaceCamper is actually based on the Riese & Muller Load 75, a high-end electric two-carrier, but takes advantage of slight modifications to achieve its ends. These famous adjustments allow it to incorporate a reclining seat, which can be converted into a bed. Transporting goods is also possible.
The bike for globetrotters
To go through with his idea, Ben Wawra also modified the handlebars, which can be folded or disassembled. In doing so, a small table can be placed on it either to work in peace in the middle of a pretty landscape, or to have a snack during a lunch break or dinner. Convenient.
Above all, the SpaceCamper can transform into a camping tent. The tent canvas is thus attached to certain tubes of the frame to protect you from bad weather, the cold and also wild animals. On the other hand, the tent seems raised above the ground: insects can therefore infiltrate and disturb you.

The technical characteristics of this electric bicarrier are not very clear. Admittedly, the SpaceCamper is a modified version of the Riese & Muller Load 75, but the company does not specify which version it is. Nevertheless, the presence of a 14-speed Rohloff hub makes it easier to target the model: the Load 75 Rohloff or Load 75 Rohloff HS.
These are the two most high-end versions, respectively sold for 8779 euros and 9379 euros. In both cases, each version benefits from full suspension (suspended fork and rear suspension) and a 500 Wh battery by default. Doubling this capacity is possible, provided you put your hand in your pocket.
Delivery for summer 2023
The Bosch central motor differs depending on the model: Cargo Line Cruise or Performance Line Speed. The second being reserved for speed bikes given its top speed of 45 km/h, it’s a safe bet that the Cargo Line Cruise and its torque of 85 Nm were favored by the company.
If you wish, it is even possible to add an optional Bosch ABS. We tested it on an electric mountain bike, for a more than impressive result. The opportunity for us to re-explain the technical ins and outs of such a system. The SpaceCamper will be delivered in the summer of 2023, says the official sitewhich does not publish any prices.
