- Follow us on our mini bike tour to a children´s summer camp. We ride a Larry vs Harry Bullitt cargo bike and also have a BOB Yak trailer fully loaded. I estimate total weight, including passengers and cargo, was a total of 180kg.
I am running my 250W front hub motor and a 17Ah 36V battery on this trip. The total distance to our destination turned out to be 44km. A 17Ah battery will in many cases be marketed as a +100km battery. In this video we will show you how far this battery took us in a real life situation.

SUCH A CUTE KID AND A LOVING FATHER! I enjoyed you being a wonderful father almost as much as you testing the ebike range!
I carry my daughter too. She sleeps every time. I think children really like riding on big bicycle with their parents.
thanks for the nice Eco friendly journey, well done.
Keep it super simple, children like to be with their parents, no matter the transportation ;-)
You speak very good English. Better than most Americans ...
Thanks for the battery distance test. That gave me a great deal of information as I plan a bike packing tour this spring with an e-assist system. Thanks for posting.
Great video by an incredible Father! God Bless!
Thanks for the video! Felt like I was cycling with you guys across the beautiful Finland!

Thanks!
josephine is cute, blessed father, riding a nice bike with the daughter in a nice weather :)
Great real world example!
Thanks for making this video. After doing lots of researching before building my first ebike, it contains exactly what I needed to confirm the theoretical; in practice. Keep up the good work.
Very cool test video...makes for one happy father daughter childhood memory.

Nice video, thanks for the effort of putting it together. I also have a regular Bullitt (27 external gears) that I use every day to take my dog to work (34km return trip). I'm hoping to get the newer MTB e-Bullitt later this year for longer trips to the mountains so it was interesting to watch your video. I might have to buy a couple of extra batteries, just in case :) Thanks again.

Thanks! Hopefully you will get your new eBullitt soon.
excellent video, tnx for posting, it gives a little more of insight about battery life and range with load
looked like a fun daddy, daughter day.
my little one and would do the same but on a motor scooter, the bicycle looks alot more fun
Outstanding video! Very informative and entertaining. Keep up the good work.
now This was a great little video!! Too bad these rigs are so unaffordable by so many people though.
What a great video! Thank you 🙂 I really like your bike and setup you have. I want to travel with my dog and what you have would be great! Can you tell me what/where I can get information for it?
What a great adventure....!
Very good video
Very inspiring,enjoying simple life
Those BOB trailers tend to have trouble if you haul anywhere close to their rated load of 75 pounds. Mine was trouble with that much.
I would stick with the 250 watts for long rides it will last longer and a bigger motor may require bigger batteries that add more weight I don't have a ebike now but I am thinking of making one this has been helpful for me as well
Its surprising but bigger motors can be far more efficient than smaller motors. On the flat, at say 20km/h they will use about the same wattage. But on hills the smaller hub motor can easily drop to half the efficiency of larger motor thus using twice as much wattage. For instance on a 7 degree hill a 250 watt motor will use 50+ Wh/km whereas a larger motor (Mac 500) will use 30 Wh/km, both climbing at 14km/h. But in Europe Mac 500 hub motors are illegal so many tend to get mid drives allowing smaller motors to remain in their efficiency range by utilising bikes gearing.
It is better bafang midrive 250w hilly area? And would range speed be the same?
What a really lovely video thankyou
I got a Christiana Ebike, 36v 15Ah and 250W hub motor. I bought a new battery (same specs) and I can reach 36 to 40 Km with it. I have to say, my pedal assist is broken, so I can only use the throttle.
Do you think that this range is enough for a new battery? Our load is always ca. 130 to 160 kg
Great video. Thanks for posting!
Very nice useful review, Thank you for sharing.
Very much enjoyed your stuff, clear, interesting and informative. My comment earlier was really a concern with the bumps and percussive forces on a young persons neck and spine whilst in a twisted position. Obviously dad is in a position to judge but the comfy position offered whist stationary would certainly be more attractive to a young person. Hope to see more of you vids soon. Best wishes

Good points, John! Thanks!
Hello from England. Did you only have one hill to go up? I would like you to try higher gradient's zones to get a feel of possible distance in Northern England. PS. Titian hair is the best.. (from my daughter to yours)
Good video nice trailer.
Beautiful stuff, you lucky one 😁
My Brain told me i must buy some E-Bike... 🙄🤔
Greetz from Germany :)
I guess a 250W motor and a 8.8Ah 36V battery will be fine for me that think a Canon EOS with a two extra lenses is a heavy package :D
I have a 250w 36v 8 ah ebike range on slightly hilly and only me weight 85 kg is less than 30 km I think I would like a larger battery , otherwise I am happy ,,,, hope that helps
30mph nice
how much ampheres can the motor/controllee draw? like for nominal and max power
Amazing. Love ur vid
Is there a reason your daughter can't face forwards? It looks rather uncomfy to be twisted round, especially for extended periods. She also has chance to brace should you hit a rock or curb etc.
Your childs endorsement is what is critical. STAMPED.
Quick questions, I am in the US and unfortunately ciclotek does not send parcels out this way. Did you build this from scratch or use on of the kits? Trying to piece together a kit like yours for daily commute of 21 miles one way so 41 miles total. I just want the assist not full throttle as I need to cut some weight. Lol.
RREALLY? the 2 wheel hall kids trailer too Heavy? I know it 2 wheel more heavy but.. I think about put big solar panel on that because it's like Rectangle. I can put more batteries and stuff on it and tow it.
look good...
I am like you r bikes!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Great vid - thx
A crazy looking setup, definitely not what I am used to. but It looks very practical. I am curious is your motor 500w?
My motor is sold as a 250W motor. It can do 350W continuous and 600-700W peak.
This is the motor I have: www.ciclotekstore.eu/b2c/producto/2201200/2/platinium-motor
If you continuously used your motor beyond 250w wouldn't it burn it out?
Thank you for sharing! Great video, too. Speaking Finnish or Estonian?
Iksr Alquyuud
Finnish
Did you build the electric system yourself?
when you say full assist you mean you are in the highest assist mode but assist means you are pedaling along with it right? if your not then your just using throttle and would def get less range without helping it.
James Pelletier
Yes, I was pedaling along the whole distance on this trip. On the way home I used full assist for the entire duration of the trip. I dont have a throttle on this bike. The motor starts when I pedal and stops when I stop pedaling.
Should be 612 Wh battery instead of 612 W
Czar Zenana
That's true. Thanks for pointing that out.
Mietinkin että onko kyseessä Suomi. No suomestahan sinä.
Can you share with us the map location of that camp? It looks really nice!
I'm afraid I cannot. The camp was a childrens camp organized by a local church. The camp is not open for the public. But this was in Central Finland between the towns Jyväskylä and Toivakka.
Rainge test like it!
Hello if you get a chance add a solar panel to it too charge your battery on the go .love mine never run out of power for all my lights and battery life endless power .just giving you a idea.
What country are you in has a beautiful landscape
dude that’s new jersey.
Very-very cool bike!!! Were did you buy it? I have never see it before on youtube.
He built it himself
6000km on the clock 😲
Does that display in mph or just metric?
if these batteries are like the ones in electric scooters for handicapped you are not supposed to drain them down over 50% as they will not take a full charge after doing so too much
can i ask what your battrys voltage range is (min-max)
Daniel Pearce
Sure. It's 42V fully loaded and the BMS cuts off the battery at 30V.
i really like that trailer, where did you get it?
Sargent- D
I borrowed the trailer from a friend. You can get more info on the trailer here: www.bobgear.com/bike-trailers/yak
E-Bike Commuter very cool, thank you.
can you change gear whilst using the electric assist?
Yes I can.
thank you for the reply. looking at kits for my wife. some have a throttle and pedal assist. can you leave out the throttle and only put the pedal assist bits on?
Gary Martin
Yes, that' s what I have done.
thank you for the advise.
Poor Josephine, turn her round so she can see without twisting around. Otherwise great!
johninleeds
It was her own choice to sit like so. The front end of the cargo box is chamfered a little so with a pillow behind her back she felt she was more comfortable sitting like this. On the way home she fell asleep and slept half of the way.
But I really should start working on a new box with proper seats and protection from the elements. Hopefully this summer already!
E-Bike Commuter i guess you mean 612 Wh, right?
the battery should be able to give about 1 to 1.5 kw of power if needed, depending of the c rating, right?
correct me if im wrong
alex Gähler
Yes, watt hours. Thanks for pointing that out.
In the front compartment we have a 7 year old girl and some bananas .....
Oh man your kid has to ride backwards? That doesn't look good. You should switch that around.
Wouldn't that decision be hers? Maybe she prefers to see Daddy's face when riding the bike. Most communication isn't verbal remember. Also - if there's ever going to be a nasty accident you don't want your kid's last thoughts to be ones of being terrified, for that reason also have them facing you if they're comfortable, as you do with a pram.
yes i was thinking the same.
Thanks for the battery distance test. That gave me a great deal of information as I plan a bike packing tour this spring with an e-assist system. Thanks for posting.
