No. But it's worth a try!
In this video, I test if my custom e-bike can perform the tasks of a truck.
We upgrade the motor, battery, and controller of this class 2 electric bike so it can tow, haul, and push the limits.

If you could make it a dually or even a 2 wheel drive and upgrade the brakes these things could haul a food stall or similar small business set up. I would definitely make the rear axle wider for stability. The speed tests were needlessly dangerous dude you could have fishtailed and really had a bad day for nothing...

@ZachShannon1 Жыл бұрын

Yeah, I'd think for any serious kind of hauling of trailers at least, you'd need to have the trailer wheels with brakes that are connected to your bikes brakes. Anything less than that, you're asking for trouble if you try to emergency brake.

A little more weight on the e-bike meaning a bit more robust framing and much bigger brakes and a little bigger rear wheels would make it safer. But you definitely without a doubt proved your point! Bang up job! So what’s your next project?🤩

I worked on an e cargo bike for a year, they are very popular in London (uk). Hauled cargo stock for business. One of the businesses with the biggest weekly load was selling kombucha, about 30 to 35 boxes (about the size of a beer crate) filled with glass bottles and liquid, whipping around all over London, some locations take about 35 to 40 mins. It's 3 wheeled, all attached to the main (not spit) frame. Crazy torque, full or not. The box seems like it's exactly the same size as the thumbnail one, but with bicycle wheel and fabricated and sold with the whole electric setup

@charliemaybe Жыл бұрын

I think an upgrade to larger rear tires and a wider rear axel or having a two wheel front and one rear config would allow for higher stability and braking performance as if you only used the disk brakes, the fronts would be nice to have two. If this was done for real, having a trailer set up with its own brakes would probably make it a ton better for the street. I also am questioning the legality of this on the street with the trailer

How many 62 year olds in here ? After eye surgery I thought to acquire an electric scooter to go back forth to groceries. I couldn't drive there, the electric hiboys2p has been phenominal; Has opened up and grown my perspective. Ive wanted a Suron since 3 years ago. Coming from dirt bikes I couldnt justify it back then. These electric pit bikes the yz85/similar custom build is way I want to go for a first pev build... Asa custom fabricator should be a fun project. But I'll have to get way more education on the electric-side of the conversion, thats where my experience is lacking. But here this 62 yr young retiree is; Which has lead me to SurRonster...amazing world, this video is epic content. Opportunity abounds in our current world...

You can put the rear wheels farther back, Use Larger rear wheels, Mount the tow bracket farthr forward, Then all the weight goes Over the rear wheels, instead of behind, add baskets, Use Proper rear wheels, not gocart racing wheels, Add a larger battery, and you can make these things Haull major loads, If your Trailor has brakes then you can stop safer. you can fully replace a truck with one of these.

In the Netherlands, they have cargo e bikes that are capable of hauling crazy heavy loads. They call them "bakfiets" over there. They use these bikes in much the same way people use pickups and SUV's here in the US and Canada. They even use them for delivery trucks around the city. The only catch is that they're not very fast. I would love to see if one of these things can be modified to go about as fast as a Surron light bee or something similar to that. Bosch actually makes a special motor for these bikes that has a lot of low-end torque.
