The Xbus is just 156 inches long and 64 inches wide, or about the footprint of a Honda Fit. Xbus Camper: Fully Equipped (Photo/ElectricBrands) It has a fridge, TV, stove, fresh water tank, and sink.Ĭustomers can swap modules, too, making it a camper on the weekend and a cargo-runner from Monday to Friday. There is a pop-up roof to let you stand up, at least in the center. Xbus offers a flat-bed Base model, a passenger-holding Busmodel, as well as pickups, box vans, and even a cabriolet that might be cooler than the camper.īecause this is a modular van, Xbus simply fits Camping Modules 1 and 2 to turn it into a two-person camper. Modular Design Allows More Than Just Camping (Photo/ElectricBrands) It’s not fast, but it seems adequate for use as a camper. Put everything together and it has a top speed of around 60 miles per hour. Helping make it a bit punchier, the four motors manage a combined 738 pound-feet of torque. Not a big figure, but the motors make 75 horsepower combined at their peak, and this little rig should weigh no more than 1,300 pounds before cargo. Limitations like it can only have 20 horsepower on a continuous basis. The rules help make it smaller and lighter, but also have some big limitations. For regulatory reasons in Europe, the Xbus is meant to fit into the L7e class of EU regulatory framework, making it a Heavy Quadricycle there. 4-Motor AWD System (Photo/ElectricBrands)Ī basic Xbus comes with four electric motors, one mounted in each wheel hub. Its off-road credentials include all-wheel drive - which all models have - as well as tires with a more aggressive off-pavement tread and an extra half-inch of ground clearance. And there’s the Off-Road which is meant for going, you guessed it, off road. There’s the City, which is more suited to in-town and on-pavement driving. The company starts the Xbus with one of two chassis options. While offering configurations that make it ideal for more bed space, cabin space, and (the one we’re interested in) for camping and living the tiny van life.

What hasn’t changed is the concept: a modular and compact electric vehicle that is capable of performing multiple roles on-road and off. Electric Camper From Germany (Photo/ElectricBrands)ĮlectricBrands launched the Xbus last year as the eBussy, before quickly changing to the current name.
