I BUILT a 2 Wheel Drive E-Bike for Solo Camping Trips!

[@Levi_Allen]

Check out this video from Drew! He inspired the concept of this video big time kzbin.info/www/bejne/bISvaJ9oqbNmnNk

[@DrewBuildsStuff]

Thanks Levi, sweet video!

[@beccamitchell05]

There is nothing better than doing something completely ridiculous and having your small child yelling “Yay daddy!! Look at daddy! Yay!!!!” As loud as they can 🤣🤣🤣

[@lukeeisenberger4872]

I’m not even a dad BUT THAT made me smile I can’t wait for that someday

[@pappysproductions]

100% only thing better than being a father..... it's being a grand pappy......3 more months and that's what il be🤩🤗

[@BeckiandChris]

This is the absolute best

[@Levi_Allen]

Thanks you thank you

[@lukevanhuizen4050]

Love the bender action 💪🏼

[@PeterGallagher1]

I'm quite pleased that this one was in the feed today. Super E bike, boating, shore camping and fishing. Awesome. Thanks.

[@Levi_Allen]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@MikeErickson]

Nothing makes me happier than knowing Levi is out there soldering a custom super73 so he can access the deep woods with his dingy.

[@geoffheith]

You've really embraced living "In the Wack" hahaha. This is one of the most "Wack" things Ive seen haha. You're my hero!

[@AuthenTech]

Dude, kudos for DIYing that whole thing! Dual-motors is the only way to go 🤘

[@mikeandyy]

This video just brought so much joy to my day! The combo between the crazy idea, seeing your kids so excited, and seeing it all come together successfully was awesome!

[@Levi_Allen]

Thanks Mike! Including the kids was my favourite

[@JakeDaly]

So good buddy! Love the e-bike. And man... your casting is getting good!

[@Levi_Allen]

I have a 100 hours now just so you know. Basically an expert

[@MassimoCastelli]

Maaaaaan, I took a lot of time off screens and now I came back to your channel. Just such a joy to watch all the way you came with the DIY and the filming. So awesome!

[@cleanerlakes]

That night sky shot! 😳🥰

[@jackschaffer674]

I love your videos, you’re always smiling even when things aren’t going right and its so enjoyable

[@deroux]

I love your daughter’s delight at knocking down the slide. 😊

[@SkyGizmmo]

Great spirit of tech play. I could use some insight to sychronizing two hub motor contollers. The obvious solution to the outboard is the e bike becomes the source of propulsion. Good Eh? My build is the Ancheer folding Mtn Bikes.

[@BrandonTalbot]

This is so damn good.

[@ChrisSilverman]

I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing

[@nicknackdaddyack]

STUNNING!

[@unimog404]

I love the upgraded bike and boat trailer concept! Maybe turn the boat into a electric boat! :D

[@lorenworthington8739]

One of your absolute best Levi. It’s kind of got some Casey in it. And some Joe in it.

[@donaldstafford970]

WOW!! Great episode. Enjoying your adventures with your electric bike and various builds. Definitely amazed at the video shots while you were camping. Thanks for sharing with all of us.

[@TerraVenture]

Really enjoyed this, admire your creativity and the way you don’t fear things not working, you just try and see then adapt. Great mindset.

[@MateuszSala]

I am very pleasantly surprised that insta sponsors a channel which (for unknown reasons and secrets of the algorithm) has a lower reach. Paradoxically (I don't know if such a word exists :)) this is the best quality video I have seen related to this product.

[@JesseDriftwood]

Pls build me a rocket bike thank you.

[@pappysproductions]

Looks like you mastered welding. and got some awesome tools since I've last been here. Rock on man! you're really awesome. I'm still trying to learn

[@RodLittle]

What a great trip - inspired to try and overnight camp using my e-bike

[@traceylynne158]

I can’t wait to see this cruising around town 😁

[@TUĞRUL1995]

I’m glad someone enjoyed that : )

[@JSCreative1]

Really enjoyed this vid!

[@RolandKaufmann]

What an adventure!! I probably would have just inflated the dinghy once I got there, but no one asked haha. Ps I love the 360 cam, but one thing that kills me is seeing it’s shadow. Like it’s invisible except for the from the sun haha.

[@JoffJk]

My enjoyment of your videos is better when you make stuff!!!!

This was great, loved every second!

I can picture all the u-turns to go back for the camera! 😂

[@Levi_Allen]

Many many uturns. And everyone was 100% sketchy

[@yhami4596]

Hi, am a new subscriber, am interested in knowing how you built your electric bike. Am from the Philippines and e bikes are not yet so common here and mind you buying a new motorcycle is sssoo expensive. A little info on the list of materials used and most importantly how to build it. Thank you

[@lenward474]

Fantastic creativity and fun!!!Lord freaks forever! I assume you've looked at merry rig everything dual bike off road company.

[@Levi_Allen]

Nope! What’s that?

[@lenward474]

Man hate auto complete....channel jerryrigeverything...built...the rig...for wheelchair wife. Offroad 2 electric bikes side by side just for her. Market went crazy went business. Same creative mind as you.huge KZbin creator.

[@lukevanhuizen4050]

Lol Jasper 💡 👀

[@Ethanruss-r3q]

Amazing

[@unimog404]

My interest in camera's slowed down. I have 2 GH5's with all the lenses I want. So that is perfect for the coming years. I like my Gopro hero5 session. and im not really intrested in the newer gopro's. But this camera and the shots you get intrest me to consider this insta360. As a solo traveler I can make awesome shots. and while mounted on my unimog I can make awesome driving shots. This video and casey neistat his video really showed what it can do for how I would use it.

[@kylethecreator]

Great idea for a video Levi, gives me an idea for a great video! Also, I wonder if you added a wheel to the boat mount, how that would handle. Any thoughts on the next upgrade for the bike?

[@Levi_Allen]

I definitely need to add a front wheel on the boat. I thought for sure I was gonna crack my rear triangle off the bike from the weight

[@dj0men666]

@@Levi_Allen maybe an independant brake too!

[@vvarLEADER]

where did ya get the Ebike components you have here? 1500 fatbike motors and controlers? I would love to know!

[@JonNgwisha]

sick!

[@FERRYKANA]

hey Levi, how about an e-Dinghy ?

[@frankenstein3163]

Nice job. Looks fun. I'll be doing similar events. I have a powerful bike. Did you need a second battery during the solar charging and/or for return trip ? PS. Bummer about the motor.. But what you think about a smaller trolling motor ? I love that spot too. To bad you cant pm me its location. 😢

[@evancashman7614]

Sounds like you gotta add a third or fourth wheel!

[@Levi_Allen]

Third wheel on the front of the boat would be ideal for sure

[@dennisryckman5210]

Do you leave the wheels on while motoring on the water?

[@Levi_Allen]

I take them off and stash em inside

[@ElvisRowe]

Levi man still waiting for that fly orange 'Leftcoast Supply Co.' t-shirt featured in 'My Top Underrated Camping Gear! For Vlogging' to drop! :D

[@Levi_Allen]

I can make that happen

[@tabottietjen3186]

Next you need an e-boat

[@egpdallas]

Guess it’s time to build a light weight electric boat motor that can run on the same battery as the bike.

[@dj0men666]

Need to make your bike power unit interchangeable with the boat for the weight saving and take some lightweight oars too 🙂 nice video! 👌 not catching anything is part of fishing!! 🙂 ive never tried fly fishing just float and bottom feeders. Long time ago though. Lovely place to head out and do it though. Are there bears around there? How risky is it camping?

[@Levi_Allen]

That would be cool! Bears are definitely around, don't wanna be caught snoozing

[@timberfire9242]

Awesome video!! How'd you get that 5 to 10 second shot of the stars like that?

[@Levi_Allen]

Used the star Timelapse mode on the Insta x3, a little noisy but it works, imported the raw photos, processed them, denoised them, then imported them into fcpx to animate the camera move

[@timberfire9242]

Neat I love the finished out come. 😄

[@neilbarriskell7840]

What fun! Hey, who was the artist and what was the song used as you cruise along loved it!

[@trevorproxmire6808]

Random question! love your glasses what brand are they?

[@TokyoCraftsman]

Very cool, well done! What’s the licensing situation there for ebikes? We are having a crackdown on them here in Tokyo, which is unfortunate.

[@Levi_Allen]

Technically I could have potentially gotten a ticket for towing the boat. So far as long as I behave as a bike and follow rules of the road I will be all good on the bike. If I use full power recklessly I’ll be held liable. Motor size limit is 1,500w. Which technically I sort of meet ; )

[@TokyoCraftsman]

@@Levi_Allen “technically” I love it! Years ago a buddy who lived here in Tokyo for many years finally returned to BC, he brought a 50cc Honda cub. He got it all legal, license and insurance etc, but then he swapped the top end of the motor, same bottom end, but a different cylinder etc. making it a Cub 90cc, but you would have to tear the engine apart to tell the difference. That “Technically” 50cc Honda cub was much better at going up hills etc, wink wink. I love these electric bikes, very cool stuff. Cheers from Tokyo! Stu

[@davidr7236]

@@Levi_Allen deflate the boat and stuff it in a bike trailer 😉 doesn't look as great in a video but also less likely to get blown over from a breeze on the trip.

[@BackwardsKnees]

2x2 not 4x4 but still cool custom build, maybe someone will take some hints and make a levi allen version e bike

[@Levi_Allen]

Totally. But 4x4 sounds cooler than AWD haha

What model is your Honda bike please ?

[@RetroWolf13]

@@Levi_Allen thanks bro a real classic love it I wanted one but doubt I’ll be able to get one lol your videos are awesome and really inspiring thank you 😊

[@GaryScott-pdx]

How much does towing the boat affect distance per charge?

[@Levi_Allen]

I couldn’t get an accurate read on this as accelerating uses more than normal, and I did a tone of stops from zero for the filming portion. Kinda of challenging to tell the added power usage without going on a really long ride. My guess is 30-35% more power usage but that could be off by 10+ percent: things like wind affect me a lot more too so it would be variable

[@Levi_Allen]

I had 70% charge at the boat launch still

[@Manafii102]

Riding an e-bike with 3000w of power is crazy - the limit for unregistered bikes in Australia is 250w...

[@Levi_Allen]

The motor I have for my motorcycle build is 24,000w. It will be registered/insured tho

Answer to your title, close but no. If a bicycle can tow a mini teardrop, I'm pretty sure that ebike can tow a mini teardrop with a roof mount for your boat. Ideas? Yes.
