    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...

    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?🤩

  • @sethbryant7894

    Very cool idea! It looks like the front definitely needs to have some added counterweight, though. I'm mostly just scared about the brakes 😬😬

    • @ZachShannon1
      @ZachShannon1 Год назад +4

      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.

    • @rosslebrun8194
      @rosslebrun8194 3 месяца назад

      It needs a trailer with 3 wheels, a jockey wheel so the balanced weight goes on that rather than the bike
      It also needs a braked trailer overrun system
      All are already on the carla cargo trailer which carries 200kg for bicycles and come in assisted and non assisted models

    Wider Axle, Hitch ball much closer to rear wheel or move further away rear wheel so you can move the hitch above/slightly further infront of the rear's axle X-axis, Wider (radial) front disc brake for more braking power, add a limited slip clutch and this thing will be a beast

      Or he could put the crank arms how they originally were to put his weight down in a normal standing position, like standing on a bike. Instead of putting bigger wheels on it, raising his center of gravity which is exactly what you don't want for a trike.

    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
    @charliemaybe Год назад +5

    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

    after around 1000 discharges you'll need a new battery. not sure about your bike, but battery powered car batteries are around $30000. towing with a battery powered vehicle greatly decrease range. Charging batteries takes a long time. I'll continue filling my gas tank in less than 3 minutes and not being required to put a new powerplant in every 1000 fillups.

    Glad to see you finally started appreciating Newton. Your problems with towing the trailer and towing the truck was not the power, it was the mass. If you fully loaded the trailer I would not, NOT, exceed 15 mph. You obviously have plenty of torque. But you don't have the mass to act as an inertial dampener at higher speeds.

    U could had made it so the towing ball would be exactly on top of the rear axel so the weight of the cargo didnt pulled the front whell up. Maybe even a little in front of the rear axel would send more weight to the front whell and would turn better, but also demand more from the bike frame.

    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.

    The limitation is weight distribution. Could an e bike do the work of trucks? Yes but slowly. Now on the trailer end, a few tricks you could do is brake controlling on the trailer and battery extending in the trailer to compensate for the losses incurred with the weight and extra braking hardware.
