National ARVC, QuietKat Collaborate on eBike Rental Initiative

The increasing popularity of eBikes among campers and RV enthusiasts has led many campground owners across the country to consider offering eBike rentals as a supplementary revenue stream. 

With the summer camping season just around the corner, QuietKat and the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (National ARVC) have announced a partnership that aims to make eBike rentals more accessible to campground operators.

As part of this collaboration, National ARVC members can now access exclusive rental fleet deals, with savings of up to 35% on QuietKat’s full line of eBikes. 

Each purchase includes a complimentary helmet, bike lock, and headlight. Multi-eBike packages also come with free shipping. Furthermore, campgrounds can participate in a referral program to generate additional revenue when campers decide to purchase a QuietKat product.

Paul Bambei, president and CEO of National ARVC, emphasizes the value of this new amenity for campgrounds, stating that data indicates pedal biking is consistently among the top five camper activities each year. 

“Data shows that pedal biking is consistently in the top 5 of camper activities each year, but eBikes take the amenity to the next level for campgrounds,” said Bambei.

By partnering with QuietKat, National ARVC aims to provide campgrounds with an affordable way to introduce this modern amenity, ultimately enhancing campers’ experiences and boosting ancillary revenue.

QuietKat eBikes cater to riders of various skill levels and are suitable for both in-campground use and off-road exploration on nearby trails. Campground operators can work directly with QuietKat representatives to determine the best eBike options for their parks and visitors.

The eBikes are designed to offer campers an eco-friendly, family-oriented, and enjoyable method for venturing beyond their campsites. Equipped with lithium-ion batteries, these bikes provide a quiet and sustainable means of traversing diverse landscapes

QuietKat eBikes feature fat tires, pedal assist, and throttle power, making them suitable for both off-road adventures and more leisurely rides within campgrounds.

Andi Malboeuf, national sales manager at QuietKat, highlights the brand’s commitment to adventure and customer experience, expressing excitement about the partnership with National ARVC. 

“The QuietKat brand stands for adventure. Our rugged all-season products focus on customer experience, utility, and overall quality. We are thrilled to partner with ARVC and offer great programs to campgrounds around the country that allow campers to take their adventure farther,” Malboeuf said.

Founded in 2012 by twin brothers Jake and Justin Roach in Eagle, Colorado, QuietKat has grown to become a recognized name in the eBike industry, with more than 1,900 five-star reviews and a multitude of positive customer testimonials.

This partnership between National ARVC and QuietKat aims to encourage private campground owners and operators to adopt eBike rentals as a new and exciting amenity for their visitors, enhancing the overall camping experience and potentially increasing revenue.
