Haul your car camping gear smarter and faster with the Orion powered smart wagon
With a 180-pound payload capacity, this next-gen wagon easily transports all your heaviest gear from A to B.

Campers have been hauling their camp loadouts with wagons for almost as long as people have been recreationally camping. But moving your favorite camp gear from A to B can still be a hassle. Hong Kong startup Litefar is looking to upend the wagon world (if there is such a thing) with its Orion powered smart wagon.

The Orion boasts four heavy-duty rubber wheels. Twin 500-watt hub motors (not unlike those found in many of the best e-bikes) power the rear, capable of propelling the wagon at up to 4.4 miles per hour. The speed is user-adjustable via the included LumiMote. This wireless remote has a range of almost 40 feet and features a joystick, an electronic brake button, and even a "hold" feature that essentially locks the Orion in place. The latter feature is particularly useful on hills or slippery terrain. Built-in AI enables additional smart features to, for example, send more power to the rear wheels on steep inclines or lightly apply the brakes when going downhill.
