Why E-Bikes Are A Game Changer for Camping


Listen Later

If you’ve been curious about how e-bikes fit into your RV or camping lifestyle, this episode of the Girl Camper Podcast is for you. Host Lesa McDermott chats with Cameron Hahn and Hannah Woolery from Buzz Bikes, a trusted brand backed by Huffy’s 130-year cycling legacy. Whether you’re running to the camp store, exploring trails, or hauling firewood, e-bikes are quickly becoming a favorite among campers—and Girl Campers are leading the way.

Why Camping & E-Bikes Go Together

E-bikes bring convenience, fun, and freedom to your outdoor adventures. With pedal assist and throttle options, you can ride farther without wearing yourself out. Models like the foldable Centris are compact enough to fit in RVs or car trunks, but tough enough to handle gravel and dirt trails.

Buzz Bikes stand out from the crowd thanks to:

  • High-quality, durable design
  • Built-in racks for hauling gear
  • Removable batteries for easy charging
  • Folding options perfect for RVers
  • A commitment to safety and UL-certified batteries
  • They’re also legal on most trails and roads when you choose Class 1 or 2 models (max 20 mph). Just check your local regulations—and always wear a helmet!

    Real Buzz Bike Adventures

    Girl Campers are already putting e-bikes to good use—zipping around campgrounds, commuting to festivals, or riding scenic trails in national parks. One Buzz ambassador even used her bike to safely skirt a wild buffalo encounter!

    Battery Basics & Storage Tips

    Buzz Bikes use UL 2849-certified lithium batteries and recommend:

    • Charging indoors with the included charger
    • Avoiding extreme temperatures
    • Using fireproof storage bags during transport
    • Bonus: They even fit in a plastic bin for mess-free hauling.
