Surly Skid Loader is a capable all season commuter, family cargo bike, hunting and fishing approach vehicle, and long range touring bike.

It’s Cargo Christmas over here with the arrival of the first batch of Yuba Fastrack arriving. We were first alerted to this new bike almost a year ago but the covid-related shipping disruptions kept it from arriving until now.

It was worth the wait.

Imagine a cute but powerful, responsive, well appointed, customizable, 400+lbs of hauling whatever you can imagine electric vehicle that you can park in the same space as a coat rack? Oh, it will also fit people from 4’11” up to 6’1” and it only costs about 10 cents to “fill” too.

This bike falls into the cargo category commonly known as a midtail. Not as long as a longtail (think Yuba Mundo or Surly Big Easy) but just as capable. The rear rack can accept up to 2 Thule Yepp Maxi Seats for toddlers. Or set it up with a set of Monkeybars or The Ring for older kids. Lots of kid hauling potential.

Developed with experts at Williams Advanced Engineering, the electric system utilises Formula E car racing technology to deliver a 300wh lithium-ion battery in a lightweight 2.9kg package*. So, you are never weighed down. Remove and attach the battery pack bag with one quick click. Carry it and plug it in wherever suits. Fully charge in 4 hours, or boost for less if you're short on time.
*And we squeezed in an integrated USB port for charging your phone.
