Autocaravan is undoubtedly one of the preferred vehicles for free travel by road in Spain. Thousands of kilometers to travel, infinite roads, hundreds of beaches where to stop ... all this make our country a favorite destination for this type of vehicles.
In addition, in the last 5-6 years, a great rise of travelers who incorporate motorcycle for motorhomes in them has been noticed. In this way, the user can not only feel the freedom to access almost any part of the country in the caravan, but can also park it and reach the most lost corners with the motorcycle.
This option is perfect for couple trips.
The boom of motorcycle for motorhomes
The motorhome and caravan market grew by 125% in 2020 compared to 2019. And this 2021 is expected to be similar. These figures coincide with the Covid-19 World Pandemia. Since, given the limitations of mobility and the need to avoid public transport users have opted for a more responsible and individualistic tourism.
In this way, we avoid having to arrive by plane or other types of transport to our destination to, once they have to use taxi, bus, meter ...
The favorite formula is as follows. You load your motorcycle (if it is much better) in your motorhome and throw yourself to the road. You choose the camping or parking where you are going to park that night (s) and once there you have your electric motorcycle to discover the new adventures that await you.
With more than 12,000 kilometers of coast in Spain, who can resist such a plan?
But what to take into account when choosing a motorcycle for motorhomes?
How to transport it:
It is very important to understand the space we have in our motorhome for the transport of our electric motorcycle or not. If our caravan has a carrier garage, with its built-in ramp we are fortunate! We will only have to load the motorcycle and enjoy.
On the contrary, if our vehicle does not have a garage, we will need to install an additional self-colored motorhomes. Ensuring it well in both cases will be another task in our check list.
The first example, with garage, would be more or less like what we see in the following photo:
However, this is not available to everyone. A cheaper and more simple option would be to uncerate a car holder like the following to the rear of our motorhome:
Motorcycle weight:
The weight of the motorcycle is also key when deciding for one model or another, since this weight will be added to the maximum mass allowed according to the technical tab of the vehicle. Here we will also have to add passengers, luggage, and everything else we want to transport.
Therefore, the ideal is to find a compact and light motorcycle that allows us to make short paths (to make long journeys we already have the motorhome). It will also be more comfortable to load and download if your weight is lower.
At this point, of course we must recommend our little model, The NX1 of Next Electric Motors. Since it is one of the lighter electric motorcycles on the market. It only weighs 65 kg with the battery included! and 56kg without drums. Which makes it very manageable and a perfect option as a motorcycle for motorhomes.
At night you will only have to extract the battery and load it with its built -in charger. That easy!
In addition, with its retractable restraint and the backup already mounted is super comfortable for a second passenger.
Moto size for motorhomes:
It is also vital. Since motorcycle garages are usually quite narrow and with a limited height. For these circumstances we have to forget the motorcycles very high or with accessories that protrude too much like screens short wind.
A scooter compact motorcycle is the best option again in this case.
Autonomy of the electric motorcycle:
This only in the event that the chosen option is an electric motorcycle. Another important aspect would be its autonomy since it depends on the kilometers that are done we should opt for one model or another.
In principle, we should not need to have to do a lot of kilometers a day with the motorcycle, since for the longer journeys we are going to move with the motorhome.
An average of between 50-100 kilometers of autonomy by recharge could be more than enough to discover new places without having to invest too much.
The NX1 has an autonomy of 65 km per recharge in the Standard version and 130 km per recharge in the PowerPack version.
Conclusion:
Autocaravan has become a very chosen tourism option by many Spanish and European travelers, especially due to the situation caused by COVID-19.
Many of these travelers decide to load their motorcycle in the motorhome, and thus be completely autonomous in the travel of their trips.
When deciding on this tourism, several issues such as the transport of the motorcycle, or the weight and size of the same must be taken into account.
Once you have all this clear. You just have to load your motorcycle and enjoy!
In Next, we are fascinated by this type of tourism and we are looking forward to trying it. And you?.
Think Electric, Think Next!
