    I wonder if you would have had more success with a rolling start? 🤔 If you had a strech of road that you could get the van moving at around 5-7mph, then see if it can could pull it. I really love the energy you guys bring ❤

  • @josephcullen2512
    @josephcullen2512 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    I think a stretchier tow rope could've helped with the build up of momentum, but as was it's impressive, and realistically if I were to invest in an electric bike I would probably want to make the most of it, with a trailer for lugging stuff, so towing capacity is relevant, good test idea

    • @utubeape
      @utubeape 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      yes me too, I bought an ebike exactly for this but it cannot pull a trailer with my work gear up a hill. No problem on a flat road though. To do this you have to have a cheat ebike that is illegal but pretends to be legal with a motor that has 'peak power' of about 1000w

  • @Alessandro---
    @Alessandro--- 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    That was fun to watch ... but with the van, you didn't stand a chance! First, Eilis, sweet summer child, you're only 62kg, so when you stand on the pedals, the only force you're exerting on them is gravity ... 62kg/2legs=31kg. And unfortunately, if you + the motor were actually to develop enough pulling force to pull the Transporter, the challenge would have been to put the force to the ground through the back tyre -- if you've ever tried to start a front wheel drive e-bike on greasy tarmac or tiles, you'll see the front tyre wheelspin: if the motor on the beast had kicked in, you would have experienced the same on your back wheel. Side note for K, the strap should have been attached to the frame, not the seat post -- it could have easily bent. That said, full marks for entertainment value ... TH-cam served me all of your channel one video after the other, I had a great time!

    London is very flat. How about taking some bikes into the Derbyshire Dales where there are a few 1-in-6 hills that I regularly cycled up in my teens on my Saturday long rides (100 miles +) into the Derbyshire countryside. With the opportunities for regen, I wondered how far an electric bike could travel.

    Great video and a lot of fun but I have to put my boring engineer's hat on:
    I think to really generate a decent amount of towing force you need a mid-drive motor and some seriously low gears. So, an e-MTB basically. As it is, that hub motor is not getting its torque multiplied. It's probably only exerting a force of around 210N at the tyre, which is (probably)* only about the same again as what Eilish is getting putting her full weight onto the pedals.
    The other thing that would help is clipless pedals, but then you would also need either a third wheel or some elbow pads 🙂
