Electric-Powered Bicycle Camper (PART 18)

[@heidistanton4583]

Coolest camper! Happy to meet ya today at Shallotte NC Library. Bonvoyage! 😁✌️

[@Jerbrown]

Thanks! You too, Heidi!

[@barry009]

Amazing Jeremiah! Love the drone idea for security while shopping; that’s brilliant. Nice to hear how smooth the boarder crossing went. Have a safe journey.

[@Jerbrown]

Thanks Barry!

You've got the world's greatest ebike there. You should do a video showing off its speed and acceleration and range. If you ever run out of money, you can use it to work 8-10 hours day on delivery/apps. A great thing about your 3 wheel trailer with high tow hitch is how easy it is to move around by hand. Nice part of your video here. Whole setup is a snowbird dream. Congratulations.

[@Jerbrown]

Thanks! Yeah, I’ll try to post some more detailed performance specs soon.

[@sloppyjoe1315]

Looks great that fabric on the inside will definitely make the inside more cozy and makes it look like a professional build

[@Jerbrown]

I definitely am happy with the fabric. You’re right. It makes the inside very cozy.

[@mattmcconnell6870]

Glad to see you on the road.

[@BdManus]

Awesome build, good luck on your travels!

[@Jerbrown]

Thank you!

[@cjvilleneuve1566]

Youre awesome man,,thats one of the coolest thing i ever saw,, you did great on your built.I got to give it a shot , its been years since i want to built a bike camper but i cant generate enought money to even think about making something like that,i will have to recycle everything and remain human powered but if i stay focus it can be done in a couples years.

[@Jerbrown]

You can do it! Yes, I did go the expensive route, but there are lots of people making great campers on the cheap.

[@-RyN-23]

Been fallowing along the build and cant wait to see more how it works out. Do some camping videos an show us what a day ends like an how you do meals etc, super cool!

[@Jerbrown]

Will do!

[@mikespark72]

This is such a great build! Im so excited to see you finally starting your journey down south! I will be watching every video my man.

[@Jerbrown]

Thank you so much!! Appreciate your interest in the journey.

[@davidlittlefield2483]

I am totally gobsmacked. You have come a long way, since your first video for this project. Keep them coming. Great job! I definitely like where you are going with this.

[@Jerbrown]

Thanks I really appreciate your encouragement!

[@davidlittlefield2483]

@@Jerbrown I want to see you go all the way to Buenos Aires. I have family there. I have never been there myself but it will be nice to see you make it there or further if you can.

[@Jerbrown]

I'll give it my best! @@davidlittlefield2483

Hey Jerry it's Fleschy! This is soo awesome I cant wait to follow a long on KZbin. I hope you brushed up on your Spanish! Be safe out there.

[@Jerbrown]

Hey Flesch! I have no Spanish but nothing like being forced to learn to cobble together some basic ability. Great to hear from ya. See you at Bunyon’s sometime! -Jerry, broke down in Queens, NY

[@lloydharrelson4805]

Great to see you out there if you would give us some updates as to how the motors and battery's are doing with weight and charge

[@Jerbrown]

Lloyd, nice to hear from you. I’ll try to get some more details soon for you. In the meantime. Three hub motors is a great setup for something near 800 lbs gross weight - bike, rider, and trailer. Battery is functioning perfectly so far. Some issues with the Cyberdrop front fork headset, and possibly some damage to rear bullitt hub motor that I’m investigating.

[@yehoshua2099]

I am building a bike camper up in Toronto, we should make Ontario's first bike camper event! Lol

[@Jerbrown]

Sounds great!

[@arthurgarrison9088]

Hey, I say you earlier today in NYC, with your coupling issue! Did you make it to the welder?

[@Jerbrown]

Yes!

[@famtab-wn6gl]

Good job Jeremiah From : izzy ❤

[@Jerbrown]

Thanks izzy :) :)

[@famtab-wn6gl]

No problem😊.

[@diegoamaral7417]

Very nice! What is the trailer total weigh?

[@Jerbrown]

450 lbs

[@shawnbrown1404]

Mind blown!!! Do you have a link to the products used?

[@Jerbrown]

They are scattered throughout the videos. lmk if you’re looking for something in particular. I’ll help you out.

[@katiekumcgil]

hiya jeremiah just curious if youve done any traveling with the camper yet,im still trying to come up with a final design for my own project but im worried about stabilty as im going to require something bigger for extended tripsive looked at extending types and various others but ends up being to awkward to will be final size do you think you could up size the camper ,even add dual motors`

[@Jerbrown]

I would do the Center of gravity calculations and make sure it’s as low as possible. The challenge with going much bigger is that you become top heavy if you want to stay narrow enough for bike lanes, and the weight requires more motor power and battery that can support. IMO, you want a design that inspires confidence and let’s you ride moderately aggressively without worrying about it tipping over or losing control.

[@Jerbrown]

You can add dual motors and I would at a minimum. For my setup, three Grin Hub motors have been ideal although I’m not yet convinced about the strength of the Grin hubs as one has failed on me already. Could be an anomaly, but I’ll report back.

[@katiekumcgil]

hiya well the grin all axle motors are basically a 9 continent stator at its heart and has very close specs in the grin motor simulator ,ive decided on the crystalyte hs4065rd they do a solid 65kmph on 48volts and still in the lighter weight categories and cost 580 au opposed to 800au for the grin im going to use 20inch fat rims and tires 4 total about 3/4 of the length ,i wont be useing a tow arm though the tow point is just above the cetre of the rear wheel and bolted directly to the frame ,kind of like those camper that you tow with a truck they go up and over@@Jerbrown

[@Jerbrown]

good move going with the fat rims. Sounds like a good plan. Good also to have the hitch point lower. Cheers! @@katiekumcgil

[@katiekumcgil]

if you have alook at my page or channel ive posted a quick video of the nearly finished bike its going on i used the chinese frames measurements to start wirth and fixed the suspension issues that they had ,took me ages to weld up though ,love your input ,thanks@@Jerbrown

[@bensmith4563]

What are the dimensions of the trailer ive been thinking of making something similar but not nearly as nice though

[@Jerbrown]

I’m working on a website to give all those details.

[@bravobursado5974]

I just thought that your battery compartment can have another solar panel in there..

[@Jerbrown]

Yeah I thought about that. Maybe I’ll add one later :)

[@olegnaum7045]

😃👍💪👏

[@bigbristv]

Dude! Did we just talk a bit on my block? I was running the rc car.

[@Jerbrown]

Yep nice chatting with ya!

[@bigbristv]

@@Jerbrown Same. I think we both felt the same about not talking about our channels 😅 Hope your journey goes well! Stay safe 👍

[@Jerbrown]

Thanks man!@@bigbristv

[@bigbristv]

@@Jerbrown I wanted to ask if you needed a hand or if I could help in any way. They call me the mayor around here 😉

[@Jerbrown]

@@bigbristv I appreciate that. You did seem like an important figure in the neighbourhood :)

[@YassineKAOUANE]

Go all the way under to ushuaia

[@Jerbrown]

I will consider this
