Surly Big Easy
$5,499.00
The Surly Big Easy was updated for 2024, and this product will reflect that.
The brand Surly is an icon in the bike industry. It started as a bike shop employee’s bike—something fun, a bit punk, but indestructible. Surly is typically known for its no-nonsense steel mountain and adventure-style bikes, but it has had a cargo bike in its lineup for many years with the Big Dummy, and back in 2019, it introduced the electric Surly Big Easy. At that time, I owned a cargo bike shop and brought one in. It was a fun bike, but the tall top tube and super big tires kept my average customer from wanting one. You can watch my review here.
Fast-forward to 2024, and Surly releases an updated Big Easy. This means the brand has sold enough of the original bikes and sees potential in the growing cargo bike market.
What’s Been Updated?
- Equipped with the most powerful Bosch eBike smart system and Cargo line motor for 85Nm of torque
- Features Surly dual-leg kickstand for unmatched stability when loading and unloading cargo
- Two-seat compatibility for human passengers big or small – no adapter needed (Thule Yepp Nexxt Maxi and Burley Dash)
- Lower stand-over height for improved stability when stopping, mounting, and dismounting
- High-rise Surly Sunrise handlebars give riders leverage to control heavy loads and the body position to keep you comfortable
- Featuring updated Big Dummy bags with simplified design and consistent cargo capacity
- Damping headset for smooth and stable handling under heavy loads
- Capable of running dual batteries for extended range
