STREETEC 'offroad&camping' Air Suspension for VW ID.Buzz
VW ID.Buzz
Electric travel with maximum flexibility – the suspension kit for the electric camper
Ideal for mini-campers, everyday vehicles with camping potential & urban adventurers using electric drive.
The VW ID.Buzz combines iconic Bulli design with modern electric mobility and is increasingly
discovered as a base for compact camper conversions. Whether used as a flexible mini-camper for weekend trips,
an everyday vehicle with sleeping setup, or an urban transporter with outdoor ambitions – the ID.Buzz is extremely
versatile. With the STREETEC 'offroad&camping' air suspension kit, you make your electric Bulli
even more adaptable: variable ride height for urban use, parking and light off-road conditions, improved comfort with
changing payload, and the ideal foundation for your personal camper build.
The ID.Buzz as a mini-camper: compact, electric, versatile
Similar to the classic California based on the T6.1, the ID.Buzz represents easy, uncomplicated camping without sacrificing
urban usability. Its compact exterior dimensions make it perfect for city driving, while the smart interior layout offers
room for a sleeping setup, mini-kitchen and storage. Especially with camper conversions and varying payloads – empty during
city use, fully packed for weekend trips – a variable air suspension becomes a major advantage. The STREETEC system
automatically compensates changing loads and provides consistent, predictable handling at all times.
Impressive lowering capability for urban environments
A unique highlight of this kit is the extreme rear axle lowering down to 320 mm – perfect for low
underground garages, car parks and tight city entrances. Especially in urban daily use, this becomes a true benefit.
The front axle can be adjusted between 400 mm and 510 mm, the rear axle between 320 mm and
510 mm. This wide range makes the electric Bulli exceptionally adaptable: lowered for city driving, standard
height for everyday use, raised for gravel roads and forest paths during camping trips.
Smart engineering: McPherson struts at the front, air springs at the rear
The kit combines specially tuned McPherson struts at the front axle with a rear air spring
system that retains the original dampers. This setup is not only cost-efficient but also perfectly utilises
the proven VW damper technology. The rear air springs provide precise level control – especially important for the
ID.Buzz, whose battery in the underfloor creates a unique weight distribution. The air suspension effortlessly
compensates for additional load from camper modules, luggage or bike carriers and maintains the optimal ride height
at all times.
Optimised driving behaviour for electric mobility
The electric drivetrain of the ID.Buzz requires different suspension characteristics compared to combustion vehicles:
the heavy battery lowers the centre of gravity, while varying payload affects the handling more noticeably.
The STREETEC air suspension perfectly compensates this dynamic. The vehicle becomes more stable in corners, shows
reduced body roll under load changes and maintains a high level of comfort – whether you are driving solo through
the city or fully loaded to your favourite camping spot. The automatic level control also ensures optimal headlight
alignment, which is particularly important with LED systems.
Who is this air suspension ideal for?
Mini-camper owners: You have converted your ID.Buzz into a compact camper or plan to do so? This air
suspension is the perfect upgrade. Level your vehicle on campsites without blocks, compensate roof load from a pop-up
roof and enjoy improved comfort during long trips.
Everyday drivers with outdoor passion: Daily commute during the week, surfing or biking on the weekend?
The variable ride height adapts to every scenario. Underground car park on Monday, forest trail on Saturday – no problem.
Families with versatile needs: Groceries today, camping adventure tomorrow – your ID.Buzz must handle it all.
The air suspension ensures optimal ride quality and handling regardless of how you load the vehicle. The deep rear
lowering also makes loading heavy items much easier.
Urban campers: You live in the city but love spontaneous getaways? The ID.Buzz with air suspension is
your perfect balance. Compact enough for tight car parks thanks to extreme rear lowering, flexible enough for unpaved
campsites thanks to adjustable clearance, and comfortable enough for relaxed weekend trips.
