Will E-Bikes Replace Trucks? (Why Ford Should be Worried)

No. But it's worth a try!
In this video, I test if my custom e-bike can perform the tasks of a truck.
We upgrade the motor, battery, and controller of this class 2 electric bike so it can tow, haul, and push the limits.

Leave it to Surronster to do a wheelie while towing a trailer. Truly good stuff 😂

[@cooperb8816]

He's insane

[@yewawtmayt2805]

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...

[@krisi192995]

I agree with everything... BUT, you have to admit, it looks like fun! Sketchy fun, but fun. 😅

[@motosk8er2]

It is 2wd though.

[@yewawtmayt2805]

@@motosk8er2 I mean front and rear wheel drive. Not 2 on the back. DD

[@EmonWBKstudios]

Yes, could have. He just teased us, though.

[@russellzauner]

I would have gone with reverse trike (tadpole) but Fucare has been all over the influencer channels this past few weeks so it's cool they gave him one to cut up.

[@savagereacts3876]

I’ve been watching surronster since 50k and I just want to say how amazing it is to watch your progress and how much the quality of your videos have gone up

[@anthonylove6639]

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?🤩

[@JuicedJoyrides]

Epic video dude, loved the story progression and video idea! Just when we though two bicycle brakes on a surron was bad you run a single bicycle brake towing a uhaul 😂

[@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]

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.

[@Zafor-ium]

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

[@onelesschromey1256]

Much love from Australia Sur Ronster! Just picked up an insane electric skateboard. Heaps of fun. You’re inspiring to so many people man! Keep doing what you do, you’re going far

[@redtegu]

Amazing vid! that trike was sick! I like the new editing your doing on the videos as well.

[@fo_xl]

Who wants Surronster to make his truck electric?

Yes!

[@pyguy9915]

U-Haul: okay and sir, what vehicle will you be using to tow your U-Haul trailer? Ronmister: 😏

[@bentimberman2030]

Really fun video! Is the rear axle solid? If you had limited slip or open differential rear axle it would improve turning significantly allowing the inside wheel to turn slower. Might hurt the burn outs though 😅

[@thediffguy]

You should put some bigger wheels and some thing to keep the front wheel down .Please do it because it's gonna make this bike way better.

[@vicgaming1234]

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.

[@TwinShards]

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

[@Gustav3onkick]

Keep up the grind surronster ❤😀

[@karlolesnjak4598]

Dude love your videos! I like when you do crazy things like this. Keep up the awesome content!👍💪

[@carbide1968]

was waiting for you to get flattened by the u-haul. but really that trike may need wheelly bars lol.

[@1981menso]

That was super dangerous.

[@__breez_]

You got me here laughing like a little kid 😂 you’re the best my guy your channel is one of a kind 🎉❤

[@BadwolfGaming5]

Also. Knew you were worth subscribing to. Love the content and the crazy fun shit. Great editing also

[@charliemaybe]

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

[@toast5742]

you could add some kind of wheelie bar on the back when using it to carry bikes so it doesn't skid on the ground

[@LesFishingMoreCatching]

Haha reminds me of a tractor dirt pull. You need a hitch riser and more weight over the front wheel and it would work great. Maybe put a basket in the front to carry cargo for weight.

[@jondoe6618]

I used my talaria to move a few trucks around, works great!

[@bigdaisy2757]

A small tweak you can make to the bike is to add some weight to the front end to help Keep it down such as a detachable weight you can add or something built into the frame to help keep it down

[@jacobdaley3888]

i wonder if you put a motor on the front wheel it would help with turns and keeping the front down.

[@ELECTRICBIKEDIYLIFE]

I don't think he realizes that Rad Power Bikes already has a line of electric cargo trikes.

[@hpzzz]

He got sent that one for free, that's probably why

[@EBikeBuilder_]

Rad power trike 750w not gonna haul anything beyond the grandma riding it 😂 did you miss the part where they put a crazy mid drive on it.

[@ELECTRICBIKEDIYLIFE]

@@EBikeBuilder_ I was mistaken about the brand but there is a brand that sells heavy cargo high power e-trikes. The trikes are orange and come in different cargo container sizes.

[@thiccwicky7571]

but are they 72v?

[@ELECTRICBIKEDIYLIFE]

This is the bike I was talking about. The Rad Burro. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJuuq6F8f5anrdE

[@user-is2uh3jy5s]

Same

[@Cal627]

This was super entertaining. I couldn't stop laughing especially towards the end.

[@cdrderfyt]

So on the square post mount, you need to shorten the arm to reduce the lifting moment on the bike and to also keep it from being so wobbly.

[@andyvdw5839]

think its easier when you use like the urban arrow tender base (cargo bike with flatbed) so the weight is above the wheels

[@BASESKIZL]

Just buy this and you can haul a new tv or couch etc. looks like a load cap at 1000lbs. Weather permitting. Wonder id we will start seeing this like Asia with all the little delivery trikes

[@REAR_VIEW_MEDIA]

One of ur best videos yet u got me laughing the whole way through 😆 🤣

[@chmanuel1145]

Your the reason why I have a lot of surrons in my garage😀 Btw, keep up the good content!

[@Andrema97]

What if you add a single wheel where it scrapes? Then you also will have much more steering control, since it will push the front wheel down🙌🏻 6:27

[@GHOSTSMUTTS]

I would say stability would be better if you have the 2 to the front

[@ekkiteboarder5502]

U should make some more group ride vlogs. Ur vids are always a perfect mix with funny thrown in there

[@MsGrindandFitness]

Just make sure you’re not going downhill towing a uhaul trailer lol this video was cool and made me laugh! Thanks!

[@blackbway]

With the U-Haul trailer on, that's definitely my new future home on wheels right there. I'd just do bigger back wheels and invest in a few more batteries to change out when I'm on the road. And a solar generator to charge my batteries on the go.

[@Epheli.]

Same thing I thought, add solar, more batteries. And maybe in-line brakes to the trailer itself..this is a cool lil idea so far!

[@blackbway]

@@Epheli. yeah, I could see myself cruising across the state with one of those.

[@Deveak]

Definitely needs good trailer brakes. The bike might have the power but it doesn’t the mass to stop the trailer properly.

[@Epheli.]

@@Deveak yeah at any speed, it could get scary, and dangerous.

[@roobedev3496]

Hey you should make a wheelie simulator for sur rons. It shouldnt be that hard

[@kacperkozlowski7030]

There’s a game called mx bikes and you can get the Surron mod on the game 🤷‍♂️

[@BIGDeZeL6]

I'm sitting laughing my butt off on break at work to this. This type of shenanigans is so entertaining hahaha.

[@yt_scyfon712]

yooo u coming out with bangers! made my day better already

[@joetheweatherman1234]

Cool! But how did you get the pedals on that build to act like pegs by just staying down?

[@jean-clauderyheul4630]

Love this guy , makes my day 👍

[@muramusan]

Maybe 2 motors for AWD lol but kinda a funky idea you went with but for sure could be optimized 💡 lol really fun and funny to watc

[@Certago]

I was scared that the contraption would come apart and the trailer crush you but you survived, well done!

[@josteincarlsen2905]

Put some pipes on the tiers and go drifting!!!! 😊😊👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@GoatedGoose1]

I can’t stop smiling, all because you posted. Thanks again surronster.

[@Hallowbladedpoet]

to do this properly you need a front hub motor as well, and a rack in front to hold more batter and counter balance.

[@dxb_1680]

Try putting go kart tires on the (bike holder - idk what its called) at the back or shopping kart tires. Just a suggestion!

[@dylansala87]

You should put a set of wheels on the small area that is dragging on the ground. Drill a hole then install an axle and some spacers and tiny wheels

[@vastps4c788]

Ur the best I hope you make more of these bikes and do some more rides around the city and meet Ur mates so keep up the good work 😜

[@JC-DC]

All the weight is behind the wheels. Look how different the U-Haul is set up to balance the load. Great video regardless 👍

[@brandongardner2853]

Awesome vid , great ideas always keep up the great work !

[@mxbros9212]

Hey you should try with the bikes in a trailer and tow it instead of on the rack as it would be more valences out

[@tbbmw_m240i]

What about making a drift trike bike ?! :DD Love you videos, big up from the Czech Republic!

[@dirtbikefun3698]

Where do you get your seat covers from, and what app do you use to see how fast you are going, and what site do you get all your toys from.

[@agkracing140]

That was a pretty funny project. Props to Fucare for being onboard.

[@Mixvidzs1]

That was such a great video holy it’s great

[@xBucket13x]

fun idea. what is the battery life when towing the bikes and trailer?

[@ammunitions6452]

love ur content man

[@Jomama6290]

Video idea:get a little electric moped and upgrade it to a 72v and maybe new tires and then try it out

[@Blue_Slayer]

That’s a nice video sur ronster!

[@azndrifter204]

Should try to redesign it where the hitch and ball mount are past the axel like a triangle. So just extend the axel back and move the hitch to where the ball mount is, or bring it closer to the seat like a goose neck trailer hitch. U can just get a ball mount for the 2 inch hitch.

[@DonRayec]

Bro if you actually put some mini wheels on the bike rack it would work perfectly

[@zenorzogaming4915]

Always exited for your vid drops

Love this video and I love your ranger!!

[@kuba1422]

I love this dude he always make me so happy with his vids

[@Godsillah88]

the rear swing arm should've been longer to mitigate tipping and understeering. But then the rear wheel base should probably be a little wider as well. And then... Meh, it's far from perfect, but definitely fun to watch, and definitely works.

[@AppleShortss]

Bro you have me 😂lmao today this was something different and liked it a lot

[@lucasbucci7604]

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.

[@highdesertbiker]

banger content as always hahaha this was cracking me up.

[@TheDeelunatic]

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.

[@H.o.w.i.e.]

i love your posts keep up the good work mate.

[@luc4s350]

Hello surronster absoutley love your videos always love watching new. i am subbed. i have a question if your able to answer whats your go pro and microphone setup as a e-scooter and surron user im looking to get a simliar setup to you if you can respond to this or make a video! Please and thanks surronster much love bro keep producing! so basically what setup do you run on your helmet like what helmet googles go pro mic etc Thanks

[@jace7906]

Love you’re vids could watch them all day

[@yamiomo7392]

You can put the rear wheels farther back, Use Larger rear wheels, Mount the tow bracket farthr forward, Then all the weight goes Over the rear wheels, instead of behind, add baskets, Use Proper rear wheels, not gocart racing wheels, Add a larger battery, and you can make these things Haull major loads, If your Trailor has brakes then you can stop safer. you can fully replace a truck with one of these.

[@moni-ib1lr]

if you ever get the chance have a look at an e bike called the "dirodi rover". its an australian brand but has a really similar fram design to the fucare, but seems a lot better in my opinion

[@Polerx_real]

hey you can use like a 2 kilo weight on the front so you can still use the bike mount

[@mtbliam7585]

I’ve never heard so many funny noises before this video was awesome

[@deridionentertainment]

10:15 Its working because its more balanced than the first test you did. It need wheels at the back end

[@rickyonwheels5413]

So what happened to your surron? Seems like ever since you did the ko swap it hasn’t been getting much use

[@leggomyeggo9088]

How many 62 year olds in here ? After eye surgery I thought to acquire an electric scooter to go back forth to groceries. I couldn't drive there, the electric hiboys2p has been phenominal; Has opened up and grown my perspective. Ive wanted a Suron since 3 years ago. Coming from dirt bikes I couldnt justify it back then. These electric pit bikes the yz85/similar custom build is way I want to go for a first pev build... Asa custom fabricator should be a fun project. But I'll have to get way more education on the electric-side of the conversion, thats where my experience is lacking. But here this 62 yr young retiree is; Which has lead me to SurRonster...amazing world, this video is epic content. Opportunity abounds in our current world...

[@AliasHSW]

Ironically I had the same thoughts last night…of an e-bike with a trailer for handyman work.

[@4BeatBox4]

@10:25 That smooth camera work is insane. good shit.

[@MyBUFF69]

You should put a wheel in the middle or on both sides so it doesn't scrape it'll give you support it won't bounce

[@SPCS]

you need a wheelie bar that fits in the tow hitch for when you aren't towing!

[@ionflow1073]

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.

[@Epicgamer_Mac]

Yeah but the QS138 is already a torque monster

[@jamesmower1852]

If you make sure the trailer ball since just in front of the centerpoint of your rear axle you would have no trouble turning got to get that way in front of the rear axle even if you can get the trailer ball an inch past the center point of the rear axle you'll be doing really good

[@GKATROCITIES]
