Cyberdrop Features Video

I made this video as a quick overview of some of the features of the Cyberdrop. See the website for more info: www.cyberdrop.ca

[@messiermitchell4901]

I genuinely prefer this over the cybertruck

[@Jerbrown]

High praise! Thanks!

[@yoshit9819]

I met this gentleman in Miami. He stopped by our shop. This is a very impressive rig.

[@joto5459]

All of the hard work definitely paid off Jeremiah, hats off to you!

[@Jerbrown]

Thanks for following the journey with me :)

[@dltooley]

I’ve been floating this concept in my mind for a couple of years now, awesome to see someone pull it off.

[@joto5459]

@@Jerbrown Been worth every moment!

[@wadafruit]

Perfect compliment to the cybertruck... Version 3 will be a one piece megacast and stainless steel...berri No-ICE.

[@Jerbrown]

Haha

[@bettinafelt-rown1419]

Awesome specs and graphics. Will you show the inside next? Does it really cost nothing to operate? Wow. Are there things you would change for a future model? Thank you!

[@Jerbrown]

It costs a lot to get it right. Then 30 cents per day/130 miles :)

[@josephriley383]

Are you going to post more videos of your journey with the cyberdrop I really like your build style I’m in the middle of building a similar bike camper for my needs

[@Jerbrown]

Hi Joseph, hope your build is going well. I hope to have another video up in the next month with an update. Cheers

[@villbi]

This is very cool! I liked 👍

[@Jerbrown]

Cheers!

[@biggkidd71]

Great build I'm in the planning stages of something similar for myself. I noticed how tight the fit was getting through the barriers on the bike lanes. So I was wondering how wide your trailer is so I can be sure not to go any wider.

[@Jerbrown]

40 inches!

[@biggkidd71]

@@Jerbrown Thank you!

[@Jerbrown]

@@biggkidd71 You bet!

[@dparryd]

Is this commercially available?

[@Jerbrown]

I’m working on it!

[@0bservationist]

I love this project. I really believe it's an innovation. Can we see the Cyberdrop being pulled by different Ebikes? different styles/models/brands etc.

[@Jerbrown]

I’ll try to get some different examples in the future for you.

[@DHyre]

30 miles per day of solar driving power, with trailer? Interesting that the Aptera car gets 40 per day… but doesn’t have as much sleeping space LOL

[@Jerbrown]

On a good sunny day, flat, no headwinds ;)

[@larrygermano]

Can the batteries be charged off the camper? Can you make it so that the batteries are swappable which would mean you can go a lot further between charges? If you could make the key parts of the camper upgradeable like the FUELL Fllow (battery, chargers, and motor, that would be awesome. I ordered the FUELL Flluid 2, so this would compliment that and I also ordered a Fllow which also would be great with this. How much does the camper weigh?

[@Jerbrown]

The battery can be partially charged by the camper solar panels. The battery is in the bike, so you can use whatever you want to tow (guide) it, including the Fllow. It’s 450 lbs.

[@AustinMCraigDoesNeatStuff]

Awesome. Incredible work.

[@Jerbrown]

Thanks!

[@MainStreetMesa]

Hey Jeremiah, looking forward to an update. I hope all is well on the road.

[@Jerbrown]

Bless ya! I’ve had to take a pause. I’ll have an update for you soon. Take care.

[@theroyalgypsydiaries4658]

Love the build and innovation. Major progress since your earlier builds. Congratulations Jerimiah !

[@sloppyjoe1315]

Hey man long time no see hoping to see new videos on your cross country journey soon

[@Jerbrown]

Hey! Hope to have an update soon!

[@velosmartinique]

Nice!

[@relicgamer2137]

As cool as this is where I live I see it as a major problem. 2 lane country roads with no shoulders for cyclists is bad enough especially where i live with a ton of blind corners. The definitely would cause traffic jams. Unless it can maintain the posted speeds. If it could do that then that would work. We just have a major problem with cyclists where we are and visit in large groups.

[@Jerbrown]

Yeah, fair point. I’ve been able to avoid slowing down traffic for the most part by maintaining the speed (or close to it) of posted limits which, in the USA and Canada, are often around 35mph/55kmph. And then if I know I’m holding up traffic I’ll pull over to let it go by. But yes, without shoulder you’d have to keep the speed up and choose routes/time of day carefully. Where do you live? Cheers

Order yours for $99.99 and get it delivered the next morning.

[@acroduster]

Yeah, trying to play Elon fan with your build and association of your build with the cyber truck fiasco was probably not the brightest idea. Though that is a damn heavy touring bike/trailer combo especially if it needs 10 kwh to go 130 miles. Well built though unlike the truck. Your battery has to be well over 130 pounds alone, the bike you chose is also a super heavy beast, you have never actually done any cycle touring prior to when you decoded to build this had you?

[@Jerbrown]

Battery is about 100 lbs. It’s the lightest I could make it while fitting all my criteria. I did a tour to Newfoundland from Toronto, and that’s when I thought through what I wanted in a bike camper.

[@acroduster]

@@Jerbrown I thought I was crazy at 2.2kwh on my touring recumbent, I can cover the same distance easily. Though if anything happens pedaling is still an option for my weight class. I have to know what's the bike weigh? And what's road ready travel weight? How far could you pedal it if you had to? My bike is like 50 to 55 pounds stripped down to just one kwh of battery and no cargo or rider, also have you ever considered the size of the fire should that battery go critical fail? The funny thing is I have a 48 volt burden carrier and it only has a few hundred watt hours more.

[@ThePlanet_L.I.]

Was trying to ask on your current vid but the comment section was off so here it is, Y did you go with smaller tires on the camper as opposed to tires that's on the bike

[@Jerbrown]

Hi. Just to clarify, do you mean why did I not use 26 inch wheels on the camper? if that’s your question, the reason is that I wanted a lower centre of gravity, and a smaller wheel helps achieve that. It also reduces the loss in internal cabin space created by the wheel wells.

[@ThePlanet_L.I.]

@@Jerbrown yup, makes a lot sense

[@IraRomfh]

Super cool and I would love to travel the countryside in one of these. It just feels a bit like bike campers purposed built to make you travel alone. I have a partner and children. How do I take them camping with this setup? Everyone with their own camper?

[@Jerbrown]

For now this model is limited to nomadic travellers. A version to accommodate your wish list is in the works :)

This looks amazing. I can't wait for production to start!

[@thomashughes_teh]

It's too wide for some USA bike path bollard opening clearance. It's too long for some USA bike path directional filtering clearance.

[@Jerbrown]

Well, Thomas, all I can say is I’m ripping down the eastern seaboard like a Barracuda and there hasn’t been a Bollard that could stop me yet. YRMV! :)

[@relicgamer2137]

I wondered about this myself. I live on an island and every road is 2 lane and the cyclists already cause issues because there isn't a large shoulder or bike path. Many don't ride in a single file position but side by side. This causes issues because the roads have a ton of blind corners. This thing would be a nightmare for drivers to get around. Especially when a ferry boat unloads a bunch of cars and commercial trucks.

[@frommbmars7157]

Only for smooth roads.

[@Jerbrown]

It handled 2600 miles of varying road conditions pretty well on a trip to key west from Canada. But yes, ideally smooth roads for the most comfortable ride.

[@marchinrichs9658]

No Videos anymore?

[@Jerbrown]

Hope to have next one up in next couple weeks

[@ZeljkoMikulec]

yes, nice. But 45 Wh/km is double of what other bike-camper use

Trop lourd! Il faut un vélo électrique haute puissance ! Reduit énormément l'autonomie !

[@Jerbrown]

If you go light weight you lose stability on the road, over bumps, with cross wind, and you’ll get blown over on bridges with wind gusts and while trucks pass.

[@normandgallant8106]

keep the center of gravity as low as possible @@Jerbrown

[@GDOUG-ze3iz]

eh, Backpack! Where are you now??

Eh Fleschy! Flagler Beach. Fell in love by accident. Recovered (I think). Onward!

[@Dr.Schlitz]

I seriously don't get the appeal of this, vs a tent. It seems that the incremental comfort benefits of the camper are far outweighted by the cost and hassle of dealing with a massive, heavy camper. I would rather ditch that camper and carry my gear on the bike frame, or even using a lightweight unpowered trailer for extra gear.

[@Jerbrown]

Then do that, Dr Schlitz. Different strokes for different folks. I’ve done it your way. This way prioritizes comfort for those of us who want to get off the ground. Definitely not for everyone..

[@Dr.Schlitz]

@@Jerbrown That IS what I do. I use a tent. However, I would be interested in hearing a deep dive into the cost-benefit analysis for this type of travel, because as far as I can tell it's no more than a gimmick.

[@Jerbrown]

Bah humbug

[@normandgallant8106]

@@Dr.SchlitzYo , I'm building a trailer to act as a tent platform and for accommoding a portable head . I'm tarping the trailer for atmospheric /radiation protection . Towing recumbent trike is 3 wheel drive , 2 electric and one pedal wheel . On a sunny day the solar panels alone power the trike , on the level . Going uphill I can pedal along . Going downhill the regenerative braking current is about 8 amps at 18 vdc peak . I need to install two 12v coolers to absorb energy . An electric cable is available to auto shut off at 12.5 v and come back on above 12.5 v .
