If you’ve been traveling in your RV for a while, you probably know by now that mobility at your destination is key for a great adventure. You want the ability to go sightseeing and explore in something a little more compact than your motorhome or the vehicle you tow your travel trailer with.

Flat towing a car is one mobility solution, but then you have to deal with extensive transportation requirements that can honestly be more of a hassle than they’re worth. Another less cumbersome solution is to attach a bike rack to your RV and haul an electric bike with you to your destination.

Lightweight, space-saving and more convenient than the traditional approach of flat towing your vehicle, an ebike gives you the mobility you want at your destination without the physical exhaustion you may experience while exploring on a regular bicycle.

An ebike has the same look and similar components to a regular bicycle. The key difference is that electric bikes are equipped with a motor or battery that propels the bike forward when the rider needs assistance. Ebikes generally have a battery charge that lasts several miles, making them perfect for riding around the campground or sightseeing around a city.

Li-Series ebikes by Lippert help you explore more, ride longer and tame even the wildest of trails. Whether you’re cruising around your campsite or taking the scenic route to town, our lithium-ion electric bikes are the best electric bikes for RV travel. They give you the extra power assist you need to have a more enjoyable time in the great outdoors.

Each of the three bikes in our Li-Series lineup have features unique to the experience you’re looking to have. We offer the Gladiator mountain ebike for offroad trails and rugged terrain, the Skyline city ebike for sleek mobility around town and the Ready Rider foldable ebike (coming soon!) for convenient transportation anywhere you want to ride.

Advanced lithium-ion batteries and Bluetooth technology come together to provide the unique system our RV ebikes run on. Each bike has a battery that provides up to a 45-mile range per three-hour charge, which means you can ride in comfort and style for extended periods of time without running low on power. To adapt your ebike to each journey, you can choose from six different power modes that assist you while you’re riding.

Also equipped with Bluetooth capabilities, the ebikes in the Li-Series can sync with your smartphone through our downloadable app. The app's user-friendly interface lets you see information specific to your route and track your ride. The Lippert ebike app includes the following features:

• A navigation tool that allows you to plan and record your rides
• Multiple health and physical performance trackers, such as distance traveled, average speed, calories consumed and more
• Weather and map data
• Battery level and status
• Alarms for system errors as well as accidents and events along your route

Each bike also comes with a convenient phone holder so that you can see real-time updates from the app and enjoy hands-free riding.

The bells and whistles don’t matter if the bike itself isn’t comfortable and enjoyable on long rides. As the best electric bikes for RV travel, Lippert Li-Series ebikes are designed to promote maximum comfort, control and confidence while riding.

The Gladiator electric trail bike is optimized for rugged terrain, although it can be ridden on paved surfaces as well. The trail-optimized tires, quick-release adjustable seat, front suspension and integrated hydraulic disc brakes ensure your comfort over long distances and enhance your control over the bike when riding gets rough. In addition, the alloy frame and rims are durable yet lightweight, which makes them the best electric bikes for RV travel. After all, you can never have too many weight and space savers when you’re living an RV lifestyle.

Cruising downtown and visiting local attractions is easy and convenient with the Skyline and Ready Rider bikes from the Li-Series by Lippert. These bikes have very similar features that include an ergonomic, step-through frame for easy mounting and dismounting, as well as a quick-release seat clamp to perfectly suit your riding style.

Equipped with a rear three-mode indicator light for safety, these electric commuter ebikes are great for getting around town, even in high-traffic areas. Speaking of that, you probably want to avoid breakdown situations during peak traffic hours. The Skyline and Ready Rider both feature anti-puncture tires, so you can have peace of mind when rolling on city streets.

Each ebike also features mudflaps to protect you from dirt and water splatter on rainy days. Additionally, each of these electric bikes has a rear rack for storing your picnic lunch, camera and other personal belongings, so you can pack everything you need for a day trip in the city.

The main difference between these two bikes is that the Ready Rider easily folds into a compact ebike that saves space inside your RV or on a bike rack. The frame, handlebars and pedals are all foldable, and the whole bike only weighs 53 pounds!

Each ebike in the Li-Series is packed with a ton of excellent features RVers and travelers love. We've put together the quick reference chart below that shows the differences between each bike so you can make an informed buying decision.
