Pannier ridealong on a Surly Big Easy electric cargo bike
Along for the ride
When friends ride along on an electric cargo bike
We rode our bikes to Strawberry Creek Park in Berkeley for a birthday party. I saw this cute setup on a Surly Big Easy cargo e-bike. It's a long-tail cargo bike with full-sized wheels. It is great for carrying groceries, kids or other bikes, and it has an electronic assist.
The bike is set up with a Thule/Yepp child seat in the back. The panniers are also a perfect place to take a stuffed animal buddy along for a ride.
I took one for a test ride once. It felt stable even with an adult on the back rack.
I’m trying to make it easier for families to ride bikes together by sharing experiences and developing helpful products.
