Do you love your nimble e-up! but sometimes wish you had a bit more transport capacity? Don’t worry, with a trailer hitch, your little city car can become surprisingly capable! But what should you look out for when installing one, and what options are available? This article answers all the important questions about trailer hitches for the e-up!.
A Small Car with Big Potential: Why a Trailer Hitch for the e-up?
The e-up! is the perfect companion for the urban jungle: compact, nimble, and environmentally friendly. But sometimes even the roomiest small car reaches its limits. Whether it’s a big shopping trip to the furniture store, transporting sports equipment, or a vacation trip with a camper trailer – a trailer hitch makes your e-up! a flexible all-rounder.
“Many underestimate the potential of small electric cars,” Master Mechanic Hans Meier from Berlin tells us. “With the right trailer hitch, they can also tow larger loads and are thus a real alternative to combustion engines.”
Which Trailer Hitch Suits My e-up!?
There are generally two types of trailer hitches:
- Fixed Trailer Hitch: This variant is permanently attached to the vehicle and offers high load capacity.
- Detachable Trailer Hitch: It can be removed when needed, ensuring an unobstructed look when the trailer hitch is not required.

Which variant is right for you depends on your individual needs and usage behavior. If you use the trailer hitch regularly, a fixed variant is the best choice. If, on the other hand, you value a discreet appearance and use the trailer hitch only rarely, a detachable trailer hitch is the optimal solution.
Installation: Let the Pros Handle It!
The installation of a trailer hitch should generally be carried out by a specialized workshop. Only in this way is it guaranteed that the trailer hitch is correctly installed and the road safety of your e-up! is not compromised.
Legal Requirements and Registration
Please note that the maximum towing capacity of your e-up! is specified in the vehicle documents. These limits must not be exceeded under any circumstances. After the trailer hitch is installed, registration in the vehicle documents is required.
