There's a lot more I could do with this setup and I could even do deliveries for profit if I really wanted to. I've been dreaming of getting a trailer for the longest time, and I found this one last year that checked all the boxes, but had no way to pull it up until recently. Also, the price has dropped to an unbeatable price under $200 with the lack of cargo capacity on my newest Electrically Assisted Bicycle made it even more irresistible. There are some holdbacks, though. Is it too wide to easily keep in a bicycle lane? Is it too heavy for practicality? How will it handle over bumps, turning, or braking? How much more road rage could it cause?
I don't think I couldn't have found a better trailer except one having an aluminum frame and wheels to save weight maybe? I love the independent suspension and large wheels for rough and higher speed rides with the wide, flat, and tall storage area. The canopy is aerodynamic or can collapse to reduce drag. The trailer folds up flat for storage too.
And then there's the new E-bike I purchased to pull the new trailer with both deserving their own proper introduction videos.
MORE TO COME!
By the way, the solar panels are part of my Off-Grid living arrangement, not exclusive, installed, or directly powering the vehicle in any manner. The 500 watts of solar panels setup out in a field charge a couple 1.2 kwh DC batteries in my home through a MPPT controller. In my home a 120V AC Pure Sine Wave Inverter powered by the batteries energizes my home's AC distribution panel to the outlets. From one of the 120v AC outlets a charging adapter (DC Converter), exclusive to the bicycle, connects to the removeable 48 volt 720 watt lithium battery to actually power the bicycle's rear 500 watt brushless hub motor.
Nice work. I have 3 bike trailers like you, for a small dog or groceries, a flat bed one for transport 2 crates or other stuff and a big flatbed one for my modelairplanes. You can buy them here for 25 euros and make a biketrailer as you wish. Its not commnon here to have bicycle trailer using it for all kind of things, but I like it.
hows the suspension work on that thing
The suspension is basic and not dynamic at all. There is none on the rear bicycle wheel where the majority of weight sits. The seat springs are decent, but I plan on upgrading the seat soon. The front fork can be noisy off road and has a little bit of looseness between the shafts and pistons. That said, getting a bike in this price and power range with a rear suspension would've added weight and had much smaller wheels and battery. Having fuctional suspension is way better than none at all.
Why is is called "Solar Powered E-bike Trailer Propane exchange" when all I saw was you towing a propane cylinder, oh, and you fixing a towing connection. I think you could be more explicit with your titles and the video`s contents. I did see a bike towing a generator in the background which appears to be a better choice of video if you could show its build.
Since I charge the bicycle's battery from my home's energy supplied by my solar panels, it is what it is, although indirectly and words can run together imperfectly in the titles for the sake of the 100 character limit, or just remaining compact. It is several miles along a highway to get into town that isn't bicycle traffic friendly at all. I was mildly terrified for a long time that the trailer would be too dangerous, wide, heavy, travel terribly, or something else to have made this a waste of money and no sure way to do this differently, as I'm disabled and not allowed to legally drive. On the flip side, like a kid waiting for Christmas I was excited after years, then weeks, and finally days to get the perfect trailer for me afforded, picked out, shipped, and finally delivered. But I couldn't use for a few more days until I got that drill bit and it just barely worked. So, I got out my camera and captured some content for all of us to enjoy over and over.
I didn't fix anything, just finished an installation of a new way of life. I actually did do a good job on the title and you should thank me for the effort to provide it as an unmonetized upload to RUclips. Yes, click bait is a tactic I'm not above using either. It worked, didn't it?
By the way, where did you see a bicycle pulling a trailer with a generator on or in it? You know, the battery charges much slower than it consumes while powering the motor.
Nicely done Joshua
Whats withth the. eidiot statement about serving the lord as an intro about biketrailers.
It is the default pre-intro to my Channel videos, as I put my Christianity as my first priority.
Speaking of low IQ presentations being the definition of "idiot", your comment wasn't even reread by yourself to see the touch input while insulting me wasn't even intelligently typed.
