Trending Gear & Destinations Across the USA

September 28, 2021·Mizan

The gear everyone wants this season

  • Electric bikes — the fastest-growing category on Splitt. Car-free trail towns and rail-trail networks have turned e-bikes into the default way to explore.
  • Stand-up paddleboards — low learning curve, high payoff. Glassy morning water is the whole pitch.
  • ATVs and side-by-sides — desert trail systems and forest service roads have made off-road rentals a full-blown weekend economy.
  • Pontoon boats — the lake day, upgraded. One rental covers the whole crew, the cooler, and the dog.
  • Camping kits — tent, pads, stove, lantern in one booking. First-time campers skip the thousand-dollar buy-in and just go.
  • Where it’s all headed

  • Lake Tahoe, CA — paddleboards at sunrise, e-bikes around the shore, snow gear the other half of the year.
  • Moab, UT — the side-by-side capital of America. Slickrock, sand, and rentals booked out every spring weekend.
  • Yosemite, CA — camping kits and trekking gear for the valley, with permits that reward the well-prepared.
  • Outer Banks, NC — surf, SUP, and beach-day everything along a hundred miles of barrier island.
  • Austin, TX — kayaks on Lady Bird Lake before work, e-bikes on the greenbelt after.
  • The takeaway for hosts

    If you own anything on the first list and live anywhere near the second, your gear is sitting on demand. List it before the season peaks — renters book where the inventory already is.
