Together with sales vehicle manufacturer Seico, we have published a Survey started: We wanted to know what the perfect bike motorhome looks like for you. Almost 1000 BIKE readers took part and answered questions about the layout of the interior or the number of bikes that need to be accommodated. On a scale from 0 to 10, you were also asked how important a helmet rack, a water connection for a steam jet or a charging function for e-bikes on board is to you.
Essential in a bike motorhome: an on-board workshop
You could also suggest your own ideas. At the top of the wish list were the on-board workshop, an assembly stand, enough space for tools and spare parts plus a dirt trap for dirty laundry or MTB shoes. Off-road capability to get as close as possible to the best bike spots and the greatest possible energy self-sufficiency (solar) were also high on the list.
With your input, Seico got to work and designed the ROC (Real Outdoor Camper). You can see the result in the photo. With a large tailgate, wet room, fold-down bed, space for at least two bikes and the standard PV system, many of the features you requested have already been implemented. However, further customisation is possible! The 3.5-tonner based on the Fiat Ducato with 180 hp diesel engine and automatic transmission is also available with an optional gross weight of 4.2 tonnes. Off-road fans can order a 4x4 variant with all-wheel drive.
Everyone who took part in the survey had the chance to win a two-week trip with the Camping prototypes of the Seico ROC to win. Christian R. from NRW is delighted to have won this prize. Congratulations! We wish you lots of fun on your first trip with the Bike-Camper.
Nearby destinations in Germany There are more than enough places to visit in the surrounding area. BIKE 11/2022 For example, top MTB spots near major European cities such as Lisbon, Barcelona, Graz and Vienna. Or the dream trails on the Pasubio in Trentino - and the golden October is currently sweetening the end of the season for us.
