A 19-year-old built a camper you tow with an e-bike 🚲


This camper gets towed by an e-bike. And it has Starlink.

A 19-year-old YouTuber who goes by ENDOPRYSM set out to build the ultimate e-bike camper: a tiny hard-sided trailer light enough to pull behind an electric dirt bike, but with a real bed, a swiveling TV, LED lighting, a power station, a 160-watt solar panel and Starlink internet. They built it over a few weeks with a brother and a welder friend named Sheldon, then towed it out to a coastal bluff for a cold night watching the sunset.

A Steel Frame Sized for One (or Two)

It started on a whiteboard: a box about 6'5" long and 3Β½ feet wide. The crew welded square steel tube into a frame with crossbeams, bolted on old e-bike wheels, and laid real plank flooring on a plywood deck, so the inside feels like a room instead of a cargo box.

Light Walls and a Hand-Cut Mountain Paint Job

When a bicycle is your tow vehicle, weight is everything. The walls are a sandwich of thin wood glued to rigid foam, with wiring buried in channels carved into the foam. Then came the part everyone notices: a mountain silhouette projected onto masking tape, cut out with a razor blade, and painted under a bright orange top.

A Cozy Little Hotel Room Inside

A white Goodwill cabinet mounted on 2x4s looks like it's floating above the floor, with $30 of LED underglow beneath it. A tufted cushion is the bed (held down with Velcro), and a roughly $40 TV swivels toward the bed or the open hatch. The whole back of the camper lifts up on twin gas struts.

Solar, Starlink and Some Honest Numbers

An EcoFlow power station runs everything, topped up by the roof panel. In testing, the 160-watt panel actually put out about 64 watts, which is normal for a flat-mounted panel. After about five hours of TV and lights overnight, the battery still showed roughly 60%.

The Wheel That Bowed

On the first real ride, a wheel started bowing in and rubbing the body. Sheldon built wheel wells that support each wheel on both sides and welded in a much heavier axle. Lesson learned: a lap around a parking lot isn't the same as miles of loaded towing.

A Night on the Bluff

With the new axle in, they rode out to the ocean at sunset. The camp stove wouldn't light (dinner was McDonald's, delivered by a brother), and after a few minutes of TV the builder admits it felt silly to watch a screen in front of that view. That might be the most honest camper review I've ever heard.
