Road trip like a pro
It’s always a good time to explore more of our beautiful backyard. Whether you’re going away for a few weeks or a few days we got you covered with tips to ensure you’re road trip ready.
Get Organized
Make a packing checklist to ensure you don’t forget the necessities, and yes - snacks do count! Gear up for your adventure by checking the weather prior to your trip - proper layering can make the world of a difference! Over packer? No prob. With Evo, our trunks are super spacious. For the folks who want extra room, our back seats collapse to ensure you can bring all the things you need. Just make sure you can still see out the back windows to keep everyone inside and outside of the car safe.
Budget Your Dollars
Surprises are fun! But surprise costs are not. Budgeting for your trip will give you peace of mind while travelling so you can focus less on expenses, and more on adventure. Save some coin and score the best deals by booking accommodation in advance. Need some inspo? We got you - check out our Cozy Cabin blog for awesome spots in BC!

Prep Your Fave Playlist
The vibes of the ride are set by the tunes, so create a shared playlist with everyone in your road trip crew! No pressure to the passenger DJ 😉. Apple Music and Spotify both have collaboration features so no one's genre of music will get left behind. Don’t sleep on podcasts either – they can be a real hack for passing time on long hauls.
Whatever you choose, just ensure you download your playlists beforehand so if the service gets iffy, you're still good to go . Pro tip: all Evos are equipped with hands-free Bluetooth! Choose your tunes before you hit the road without having to worry about bringing an extra cord and control the volume while keeping both hands on the wheel.
Enjoy the Journey
Road trips are all about the journey and not just the destination – so plan out a few scenic spots to stretch your legs along the way. Sneak in a stroll, swim, paddle or even a bike ride and energize with some fresh air. If you’re putting those bike racks to good use, here is a reminder on how to use them!
Make sure you sprinkle in some practical pit stops as well. This will give you the confidence to ration out snacks accordingly, fuel up when needed and of course, help you avoid using the side-of-the road as a pop-up restroom.
It’s time to finally get that road trip out of the group chat and plan your next adventure! Enjoy your travels and share your fun with us on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook using #ExplorewithEvo.
