Introduction

For the modern adventurer seeking freedom and comfort, bikepacking offers a thrilling mix of exploration and self-sufficiency. But after a long day of pedaling through picturesque landscapes, the thought of pitching a tent can often feel daunting. Enter the i:woody, a revolutionary wooden trailer designed to be towed by an ebike, offering a hassle-free, cozy retreat after every ride.

A Craft of Innovation and Comfort

The i:woody, the brainchild of German entrepreneurs Erich Zeller and Naid Deliu, is a creation that merges sustainability, practicality, and comfort. Sold under their company Fahrrad-Campen ("bicycle camping"), this weatherproof wooden trailer is not just for purchase; it can also be rented across various outlets in Germany or even built by hand during guided workshops. This makes it perfect for those looking to dive deeper into the minimalist, eco-conscious lifestyle that bikepacking promotes.

The Perfect Tiny Home on Wheels

Constructed almost entirely from lacquered plywood, the i:woody’s design is both durable and charming. Measuring a substantial 208 cm (81.9 in) in length, 94 cm (37 in) in width, and 155 cm (61 in) in height, the trailer provides ample space without feeling cumbersome. Weighing between 64 and 72 kg (141 to 159 lb), depending on how it's outfitted, it is light enough to be towed by an ebike but still sturdy enough to withstand rugged outdoor conditions.The real magic happens when you step inside. The interior is thoughtfully designed, featuring a comfortable bench with an adjustable backrest and a single bed that comes with a 7-cm-thick (2.8-in) polyurethane foam mattress, covered in breathable cotton fabric. It's just the place to unwind after a day's ride. And if you’re worried about storage, the i:woody has you covered with a generous 360 liters (95 gallons) of under-bed space—perfect for all your bikepacking essentials.

Ready for All Conditions

This isn’t just a basic trailer; the i:woody is packed with features that make it feel like a tiny home. A single-burner gas stove, LED lighting, and a ventilation system make it highly functional. For those more extended stays off the grid, power is provided by a battery pack, and there’s even an option for a solar panel upgrade. Whether you’re parked on a hillside or next to a forest, the four adjustable aluminum supports—complete with an integrated bubble level—make sure you’re always on stable ground.The exterior of the trailer is equally impressive, with a large hinged Plexiglass window offering views of the great outdoors and a sturdy wooden, lockable door ensuring safety. The i:woody rolls smoothly on 20-inch aluminum wheels fitted with Schwalbe Super Moto tires, which ensure excellent traction on various terrains.

Tailored to Your Adventure

If the standard setup isn’t enough, you can customize your i:woody with a variety of extras. For an even more luxurious experience, consider adding a composting toilet, a Boxio washbasin, an extra window, or even a skylight for stargazing. And for those who pack heavily, an outside-accessible storage compartment is available for quick access to your gear.

Bringing Luxury to the Outdoors

Starting at €5,900 (around US$6,582), the i:woody may seem like a hefty investment for some, but for those who are serious about bikepacking and sustainability, it’s a game-changer. Whether you’re embarking on a solo adventure, or looking for a unique way to explore the world with minimal environmental impact, the i:woody offers a perfect blend of convenience, luxury, and eco-friendliness.With this deluxe trailer, your days of struggling to set up camp after a long ride are over. Instead, you can focus on what truly matters—soaking in the beauty of the world around you, and knowing that you have a warm, comfortable space to retreat to at the end of each adventure.
