Micromobility at the campsite – Quiet and efficient transport solutions
E-scooters with trailers offer a modern, economical, and space-saving alternative
to classic service vehicles. Ideal for operators looking to simplify internal processes.
New mobility requirements in camping operations
Many campsites today face a simple but central challenge:
rising guest numbers, higher service demands, and at the same time the desire for less
motorized traffic during ongoing operations. Vehicles such as cars, vans, or small
tractors are powerful, but often oversized for short distances –
loud, maintenance-intensive, and space-consuming.
Small electric vehicles like e-scooters offer a new approach here:
maneuverable, quiet, and ideal for short transport routes. Especially in combination with a
suitable trailer, a versatile and economical logistics tool is created.
Quick assembly with only 4 screws
Ideal for luggage service, site logistics, and transporting leisure and camping equipment
Stable & safe connection for trailers
Make your campsite e-scooter fleet even more practical now – with the Scitch trailer hitch!
E-scooter with trailer – a practical means of transport
With the help of a modular hitch, common e-scooters can be combined with different trailer types. This creates a compact, flexible vehicle for a wide variety of tasks in daily operations.
Typical areas of application:
- Internal goods transport: Cleaning materials, spare parts, laundry, or gas cylinders.
- Service & maintenance: Quickly reaching remote pitches without searching for a parking space.
- Guest service: Luggage transport in car-free or traffic-calmed areas.
- High season & events: Additional transport capacities without a large fleet.
Why e-scooter combinations are worth it for operators
Compared to classic vehicles, there are clear advantages:
- Quiet and emission-free: Ideal for quiet areas and sensitive site sections.
- Space-saving and flexible: No need for large parking spaces or loading zones.
- Low entry costs: Significantly cheaper than utility vehicles or golf carts.
- Easy to use: Operation without training, low maintenance costs.
Modular technology – suitable for almost any scooter fleet
The Scitch hitch was specifically developed to connect e-scooters to transport trailers regardless of the brand – without changes to the vehicle itself. This makes integration into existing processes easier.
Possible trailer types:
Transport and cargo trailers
Ideal for all daily transport in camping operations – from cleaning supplies and tools to gas cylinders or laundry. Transport and cargo trailers transform the e-scooter into an efficient small utility vehicle that handles short distances quickly and quietly. Perfect for sites with many service points, sanitary facilities, or extensive pitch areas.
Handcarts or small goods trailers
For flexible, light, and spontaneous transport tasks. Small goods trailers are particularly suitable for routes between the beach, warehouse, reception, and pitches. Operators often use them for seasonal material, smaller spare parts, waste collection containers, or for refilling consumables on the grounds. Due to their compact size, they remain easy to steer at all times, even on narrow paths and in sensitive zones.
Bicycle trailers & individual special structures
For campsites with special requirements, bicycle trailers and customized special structures offer additional flexibility. They are suitable, among other things, for transporting equipment, leisure material, spare parts, or seasonal needs. Operators can continue to use existing bicycle trailers or develop special solutions for their space requirements – an advantage for businesses with changing tasks or longer distances.
Frequently asked questions
What tasks are e-scooters with trailers best suited for?
Typical areas of application are short transport routes between sanitary buildings, workshops,
beach areas, or pitches. Many operators use the combinations for cleaning materials,
tools, laundry, waste collection containers, or small spare parts.
Can we continue to use existing e-scooters?
Yes. The Scitch hitch is designed to be brand-independent and can be mounted on many common models
without changing the vehicle structure. This allows existing scooter fleets
to continue being used.
How much load can be transported?
For everyday campsite life, realistic payloads such as cleaning utensils,
toolboxes, gas cylinders, or luggage are suitable. The exact payload depends on the trailer used
and the scooter model. Safe loading and moderate speed are crucial.
How fast are employees allowed to drive with a trailer?
On campsites, practical speeds between 10 and 15 km/h are recommended.
Operators can set their own internal rules such as walking speed or areas of use,
as long as traffic takes place exclusively on private property.
Can the combination be used in public road traffic?
In Germany, use with a trailer in public road traffic is problematic.
On non-public campsite grounds, however, use is possible.
In Austria and Switzerland, there is no explicit trailer ban, but
local regulations and technical safety must be observed.
How safe is the hitch while driving?
Our hitch was specifically developed for a stable and secure connection. It holds firm even on uneven terrain and ensures that the trailer does not uncouple unexpectedly.
How complex is the assembly of the hitch?
Assembly is carried out without interfering with the vehicle structure and is completed in a short time
. The hitch is removable and can also be transferred to other scooters
if necessary.
How can the system be integrated into existing operational processes?
Operation is intuitive, so employees can start without training.
Many operators integrate the combinations into cleaning routes, internal delivery paths,
or technical standby services.
Can the combinations also be made available to guests?
Yes. On larger or car-free sites, e-scooters with trailers offer a
comfortable transport option for luggage, shopping, or beach equipment.
Operators should establish internal rules of use for this.
What about insurance and liability?
Since use takes place predominantly on private property, operators can
clearly regulate liability and use. A brief consultation with the existing
business liability insurance or the insurer is recommended.
What products does Scitch offer for campsites?
Ideal are the sets consisting of a trailer hitch and transport trailer, as well as
complete packages that also include a compatible e-scooter.
This allows sites to start immediately or expand existing fleets.
Also interesting as a guest service
Some campsites are now also using e-scooter trailers for guests –
for example, as a practical means of transport for beach accessories, shopping, or luggage.
Especially on large or car-free sites, this creates a modern comfort service.
Legal framework (Germany / Austria / Switzerland)
The operation of e-scooters with trailers on campsites usually takes place
on private business premises. As a result, different conditions apply than on public roads.
- Germany & Austria: Use on non-public grounds possible,
public roads remain problematic. - Switzerland: No explicit trailer ban,
local requirements and technical safety are decisive. - Practice: Operators set internal rules,
e.g., walking speed or approval for employees.
As with any piece of equipment, a brief consultation with insurance or legal counsel is recommended.
Sustainability – quiet operation and fewer emissions
E-scooters with trailers cause no local emissions and are virtually silent.
Especially in natural camping environments, this noticeably improves the quality of stay for guests.
At the same time, the ecological footprint decreases significantly when short-distance trips with
diesel or gasoline vehicles are replaced.
Modern micromobility shows guests and employees that the campsite is investing in
sustainability and future viability – without sacrificing flexible mobility
.
- Quiet transport for quiet areas and sensitive zones
- No local emissions during use
- CO₂ reduction by eliminating short distances with combustion engines
- Strengthens the sustainable image of the campsite
Small solution, big effect
E-scooters with trailers close an important gap between handcarts and larger transport vehicles.
They enable quiet, flexible, and economical transport solutions that fit perfectly with modern camping and leisure businesses.
