Updated Surly Big Easy 2.0 eCargo Bike Gets More Comfortable & Better at Hauling
Minnesota’s Surly Bikes has always championed the ethos that we should ride bikes and bring stuff as much as possible. And, they’re making it as easy as possible to do so with the release of the newly updated longtail electric cargo bike, the Big Easy. The Big Easy has been around for a while, and it’s paid its dues. But now it’s better.
The Big Easy, in addition to the rest of their line of Bikes that Haul, shows you that Surly is serious about ditching the car and haulin’ with your bike. You can choose how you want to haul your goods with the analog longtail cargo bike, the Big Dummy, or the more compact electric cargo bike, the Skid Loader. Surly is making it easy, as all of these bikes are fairly affordable.
The Big Easy 2.0
The updated Big Easy, a bike that Surly calls the “18-wheeler of the cargo world, minus the diesel fumes”. starts with updated frame geometry. Adding stiffness, and expanding rider fitment makes for better riding and a more comfy Big Easy.
Surly has also added double-seated capacity – including adaptor-free child seat compatibility. The Big Easy “rides and feels like a normal-length bike, ” and the upright, engaged rider position keeps things comfortable. The new thru-axles help keep things stiff while under loads.
The entire component group that Surly has chosen for the Big Easy was selected for the demands of hauling heavy cargo. For instance, the Tektro four-piston, hydraulic brakes bring all of the stopping power. Also, expanding rider fit per size by adding a long-throw dropper post to improve bike sharing among different-sized riders.
