Lone Rider MotoTent Review 

Thank you for a great review. It confirmed that my decision a few years ago was correct. I chose to buy a bike cover for £10 and spend the rest on a dedicated tent which is more robust in the wet windy british weather. Not having the bike in the tent with me has never crossed my mind since to be honest.

Thanks for taking the time to put this video up 👍 I’ve been researching this tent as well as the Redverz but I think this one will be my next touring tent because of the quality of all the fittings and its cheaper than the Redvetz lol! Thanks again safe travels 👌👍

Very nice tent, great for your needs. I was boy scout as a child and I keep good memories of the camps. We used a Canadian-style tent that we assembled among the 6 children we slept inside and it was very laborious. Between preparing the ground and assembling I think it could take almost an hour. Now a days its easier!

Excellent review! More gear review please! It’s interesting to see what you carry on your mules!

Lovely!

Great review. Answered all my questions. Definitely too much tent for my purposes, but really interesting design.

I bought this tent in August '19. I've used it to travel up to Nordkapp from Krakow and from Santiago to Ushuia and back. Easy to put up and take down as a solo traveller. It has stood up to some really heavy rain in Norway and very strong winds in south America without any issues. I love the space but you do have the trade off of bulk and weight.

Kinda goofy! I do appreciate the info. I think you do a good job. I really appreciate you setting it up and tearing it down. Thanks

that's a cool tent

Hi, I have this tent and go motocamping alone with it. I love it and have had it for two seasons. My challenge is fitting it on my CB500FA but I always manage to do it. Last week camping, the black pole cracked at one spot on the pole while putting the tent up. This didn't stop me from getting the tent up but I was a bit disappointed on how it broke so easily. I do have to say that I love this tent and even though it is on the heavier side, I love the fact that as a female I can go camping and put all of my gear and bike behind the tent out of sight. I will have to contact Lone Rider to discuss the pole issue.

Hey Chantil , hope youre well and covid safe ?Happened to come across this video and recognised you from Girls on Top haha! I have a moto tent too but havent used it for a while so was searching for set up videos and there you were! Just got back from a camping trip and it was quite windy! Moto tent was quite the struggle to set up as a result , thought maybe i was doing something wrong even though there were two of us ! We got there in the end. Take Care Sue

Thank you for the really informative and unbiased video of the tent. A lot of guys totally discount and trash-talk this type of tent by saying that it's too heavy and bulky, however, I have to agree with your explanation of having comfortable accommodations for a good night sleep and I feel that the additional weight and bulk would be worth it. I do a lot of long range travel and I'm getting a bit tired of staying in hotels all of the time. The cost really adds up and hotel quality is getting more and more questionable. I have been considering a Lone Rider or Redverz tent of this design for a few years now and I really need to make a decision. Presently I ride by myself and I will have to get used to setting it up solo. Btw, I really like your license plates!

I have this tent - bought it at about the same time...It is easy as a single person putting it together - just practice once before its maiden voyage...Also, packing tip - just stuff the tent (minus poles) into the stuff sack and keep the poles separate - strapped on top. My only complaint is the weight of this tent (12lbs!) - but you can use this minus the garage...just unzip that portion and don't take it - the compression bag with the molle system on it is a big upgrade over the previous stuffsak.

Thanks for your Video, it was verry helpfull for me. I bord a lone rider tent last week and videos like yours pushed me. Greetings from Germany Fred P.S. I have a Abo from your chanal and will looking forwart for next interesting videos.

BEL VIDEO ! mi consigli questa tenda in due ? sono indeci fra la mototent o ADV tent. ciaooo from italy

Hello, interesting review! It's hot inside the tent during summer or in hot climate?

Don't get me wrong I think a tent with a hole in it but $535 for a tent with a hole big enough to fit your bike into seems a little steep to me. Why not just get a normal tent for $50 at target and modify the poles to have an awning that closes?

Is there room for 2 helinox cots

I cannot think of a more unsuitable tent to take Moto camping. It’s big and bulky to carry, will be unpleasant in any wind. It’s also far too expensive.

Better and easier and cheaper to just buy a freestanding tent and a tarp . 😄😄

Looks very flimsy. I doubt it would stand up to a downpour.
