Mogo: A caravan to haul bicycles

Mogo with bicyclesThe Mogo is an ultra-light caravan that sleeps two and yet is small enough to squeeze into a single garage. Its really clever trick, however, is the way it doubles up as a cargo trailer for bikes, surfboards or kayaks.

Aimed at ‘active glamping’, the tiny caravan promises a good night’s sleep after a day of sporting activities using your own gear.

The £7,000 Mogo weighs only 350 kg, boasts a payload of 400 kg and is available in any colour.

Caravans towed by bicycles

The Mogo is designed to be towed behind a car, quad or motorcycle. it is barely larger than some of the bicycle carvans on the market, such as the upcycled TAKU-TANKU.

The tiny travelling house is an eco-friendly design built with off-the-shelf and discarded materials. The superstructure comprises two 3,000-litre plastic water tanks connected by a ring of wood that frames the entrance. The TAKU-TANKU home joins an ever-growing group of bicycle caravans that can be towed by bike including the Foldavan and QTvan.

Our very own take on the bicycle caravan, the QTvan, has the Guinness World Record for smallest caravan and has makes the odd appearance on television.

We designed and built the tiny QTvan as a light-hearted demonstration of how bicycles are extremely capable load carriers. Here in Britain, cyclists appear reluctant to fit panniers, opting instead for rucksacks, but elsewhere in the world, bicycles are routinely used to carry and tow heavy cargo.
