Just as Easy, Not as Big

Cutting back on car trips is a worthy undertaking, especially in these times of planetary peril. With its electric-assist motor and extreme hauling capabilities, our compact electric cargo bike Skid Loader invites those inclined to throw a leg over and wave their middle digits at downtown gridlock. Built for finding more ways to drive less and ferrying various materials to work, play, or wherever, we gave Skid Loader the utility of a long-tail and a manageable footprint that fits wherever a normal bike does.

Comfortable and compliant under load, Skid Loader also enjoys cutting loose without cargo. Engineered to ride and feel like a regular bike, its 27.5” wheel platform provides abundant tire options you don’t get from cargo bikes rolling on smaller wheels. And because it’s a Surly, we gave it ample tire clearance and built it for commutes that go from bus stop to bandit trail. We also gave all three frame sizes adequate standover and a dropper post to fit riders of assorted shapes and sizes. Furnished with useful accessory barnacles and internal routing for just about everything, Skid Loader’s scaled-down and feature-packed cargo frame removes the roadblocks between you and riding whenever the hell you want.

Equipped with Bosch Performance Line Cargo (Smart System) with Purion 200 Remote, featuring four invigorating levels of ride assist
Capable of running dual batteries for extended range
Dedicated rear rack rated for 100 pounds of potatoes, thanks to beefed-up M6 hardware (The maximum cargo capacity of the deck alone is 59lb (27kg))
Internal cable routing for dropper post, brake, shifter, and lights
Mounts for fenders, front rack, and bottle cages (two on Medium and Large, one on Small)
Stable dual-leg kickstand (Ursus Jumbo 80) and front wheel stabilizer for your loading convenience
Sturdy, full-size wheels and large-volume 27.5 x 2.5” ExtraTerrestrial tires
Integrated headlights and taillights for sunrise and sunset cruises
Meets UL 2849, and UL 2271 certification

FAQ

Q: Does the Skid Loader work with Surly Bill and Ted Trailers?

A: Out of the box, the Skid Loader is not compatible with our Bill and Ted Trailer system due to rear derailleur cable routing interference. Bill and Ted trailer hitches are best compatible with older rear derailleurs where the cable housing forms a loop around the rear axle and enters the derailleur horizontally from the rear.

Please note that replacing the derailleur may require additional drivetrain modifications to ensure proper functionality. The Skid Loader rear rack is direct mount compatible with the Piccolo and Kazoo Burley Trailercycles.
