Carvelo

Ideal for your camping trip: transport children, do the shopping or plan flexible days out – it’s easy with a Carvelo.

Are you camping with us and want to stay mobile without needing to take out your car?
Carvelo, the electric cargo bike from TCS, gives you perfect flexibility when you want to get out and about. Whether you’re heading to the shops in the nearest village, going out with the family or transporting luggage, just book your Carvelo right at the campsite – it’s easy, cheap and sustainable.

Carvelo is provided by the TCS Mobility Academy and Touring Club Switzerland. You can use the sharing platform to rent electric cargo bikes (‘Carvelos’) in just a few steps – including at several TCS campsites in Switzerland.

• Carvelos are modern, electrically assisted cargo bikes.
• They are ideal for transporting goods (up to 100 kg) or two children.
• You can book the bikes by the hour or by the day and they are available from local hosts.
• There are more than 400 Carvelos in more than 100 cities and municipalities across Switzerland.
