When you’re hitting the road in your RV, a fat-tyre folding eBike is the perfect travel companion. Folding eBikes are a dream for RV storage, taking up minimal space when packed down and easily stored until your next adventure. And when it’s time to ride, those sturdy, fat tyres mean you’re not limited to smooth pavements. You’re free to leave the pavement and explore rougher terrains and sandy trails. Plus, let’s be honest, they look seriously cool!
