- How much weight can an E-bike handle? - MTB tow challenge! I push my Canyon electric mountain bike to the limits to see how much weight it can pull with it Bosch CX Race motor, can it really tow 8300kg?
I put my Canyon Strive:ON E mountain bike to the test by pulling and towing 4 increasingly heavy vehicles starting with my road legal CFMOTO buggy which is the lightest of them all at 700 kg then I go through my Mercedes vans until the biggest vehicle is released into the streets, my huge Phoenix motorhome which weighs around 8 tonnes! This bike challenge was super fun and shows just how strong these electric bikes really out, so what are you waiting for? Go get one and climb some hills!!
I hope you enjoy the video!

Canyon made best decision ever when they got Sam in team!
yop but this video is one big piece of rubbish really🐑🤷♂
@@user88.. agree, but its always nice to see Sam super enthusiastic about bike in general, like he really like having fun riding what ever life brings to him
Yes we did 😁
@@CanyonBicyclesthanks to Sam a Canyon Torque on is top of my wish list.
Great bikes 👍
Unfortunately a long way out of my price range.
"random energy drink can" 🤣🤣 man, i hope you get sponsored by them
Really exposes a great way he could have represented monster back in the day. Everything measured in cans on monster.
Foreshadowing
Imagene he gets sponsored by monster
@@Xx__Pro00_Gamer_xX696 He just left Monster mere days ago.
He was
Let's just appreciate the fact that Sam is the ultimate bike tester and Lewi is the ultimate cameraman for the job. They test so we can get solid information on what is the best E bike for towing random buggies and Sprinter vans. It's essential information. 😎👍
Trilling video Sam. My pulse was at maximum torque while focusing on the distance between the random energy drink can and the tire. 2 million subscribers any day now!
😂🤙
He just hit it 😱
You should have put a can of Red Bull on the floor!😂
On the last vehicle he just needed a bit more…….REDBULL!!! 🤣👍🏾
Nice! In classic Sam Pilgrim fashion this was epic. 🎉
Effing brilliant and hilarious.Thank you Lou and Sam. Send It , SEND IT !
There's a reason bike trailers connect at the bike's axle and not the seat. The leverage won't pull the cyclist off balance. If you tied the tow rope lower its much easier to keep the bike upright.
I think he knows that mate lol... You do see the tyre in the way dont you..
Even without the monny, no one can match your energy.
What's more impressive is that the seat post didn't snap off pulling all these vehicles
Hi Sam, I saw u the day u recorded this to try my new mtb hopper out and u made that sesh so sick for me and my mates
Hope to see u loads man ur local 🤙🤙
You know your day will be good when Sam posts a video 🔥
Sooo close to 2million! You deserve it BIG DADDY Pilgrim 🍻🇨🇦
I'd drink Sam Pilgrim brand energy drink. Flavors like "Just Send It". Or a variety of tricks as flavors. 🤙
Good idea!
@@SamPilgrim#pilsips
@@SamPilgrimAs long as it’s priced reasonably
Bommy grape flavour. Yessss! Do it
The top would have a picture of Sam on it and the opening would be where his tooth is missing.
Sam Pilgrim you are going to have two million subscribers, congratulations!!!!
Gave up mountain biking but a Sam Pilgrim video is always welcomed🙏
Today was EPIC, Sam and Lewi, y'all rock! Can't believe it. To the sskkyyy! Peace 🤘
congrats on 2 mill!! epic!
Never seen sam not wearing his ride concepts. Weird to see him in regular half cabs 🤙🍹
Almost 2 million subs you love to see it
You have now been promoted to Chief Scientific Bike Testing Officer 🤓 Congrats Sam 🤝😂
That gear change with the van tho 😂
That's unreal! 😂 You should do a ''pull off'' with different e-bikes against someone haha!
Foi da hora🚲🚗🛺🚍na próxima que tal tentar puxar um ✈️avião 😱😱😱🤣🤣será que dá....ia ser top...👍
So this could evolve into something like dog sledging! You should tow a sled! You could do the bike park! What if you had two bikes rigged up to pull a sled! Race! Epic.
Sam should get towed by six dogs across a snow covered skatepark..
Not with a rope, probably. Ok, probably with a rope.
I actually towed my friend on a sled with a ebike uphill, works very well
A front flip suicide no hander on a fkn sled would be pretty sick
Leverage all wrong😂😂😂 surprised the seat post didn't bend or snap💪🐸✌️
What a legend this dude is! 😎
Congrats on 2m Sam you deserve it🎉
Bosch motor = quality= epic
Love the vids pilgs keep them a coming
Nice, mine Strive:On underdog shoud arrive tomorrow xD
love all your vids, keep up the great work!!!
Impressive!. Credit to the frame strength around the seatpost
And it sropped cos of the can. LoVe the channel. Never miss a show!
Sam hit on it at the end - he needs to use a kinetic recovery rope.
'random energy drink can', This man is the man you lookin for!
That's got some torque,, ABSOLUTELY EPIC 💪💪
If you are joining red bull thats the best cluesie ive ever seen 👍👍
Samuel....Red Bull are a comin ❤
Energy Drink open contract now! 🤣
LOVE YOU SO MUCH MAN
We learn from Sam how to break our bikes! 😅
Almost two mil, mister.... Hell yeah.
Best video ever!!!
Best President Ever!
It's time to crack a 2 million subscribey o'clock! 😆
Lunatic! Great video guys
Now all you need is a bike trailer fitted w/ a Hopper Ramp so you can tow it around and hit some street boosters.... That would be sick. 😁👍🖤🖤
Sick bro🎉
I'm always amazed they can pull such heavy things. A person on it must feel like nothing!
Damn
Incredible, I bet it could be done with a weighted backpack.
Sam watches WD square body test and was like “yup doing that with an e-bike”
Nearly at 2 million I remember when you hit 1 million
Close to 2 million🔥🔥🔥🔥
i have seen plenty of these vids and the biggest issue seems to be just finding a good place to put the towing rope. my guess would be that the only way to do it perfectly would be to mount it to rear axle.
oh this isn't even that powerful... most of the ones i have seen were so powerful that the front wheel lifts up if they try to tow enough weight.
Could be epic to use 2 e bikes and try to tow the motorhome
Random energy drink can” I thought you were gonna say: you know what that reminds me of?? It’s tiMe tO CraCk a monny! YAAAA🥳🥳
Love your videos, you should go to hockers mtb on hockers lane in Maidstone
Science lesson of the day. If you raise the seat up and have a greater declined angle on your tow rope, you add a downward force onto your tire which gives you more traction.
Science lesson of tomorrow: longer levers provide more torque on the poor bike 😂 I’m sure the seat post would snap, sureely
Congratulations Sam you’re pulled😂😂 joking aside wow I didn’t think it would pull the veto never mind the sprinter that’s amazing
That was not a random energy drink can, Sam is very clever that's a hint at his new sponsor
You are Creazy man! 💯💪🏼
Rockstar Energy is the best. They shall sponsor him
Science with Sam 😂
«It’s so hard to stay straight though» - I agree Sam!
It really is hard to stay straight when looking at this beautiful man
damn thats crazy
I love your videos so much Sam
Chemical Brothers!!! Push the Button
It's good to see how much torque the motor has
This is what UA-cam was made for 😂 Can-Yon
Full power! I reckon you could almost pull that motorhome even with that minicar innit. Or maybe that is just wishful thinking!?
I love this man
i love your vids man i have tik tok with a new bike vid
"random energy drink can" i really hope sam x Red bul
2M LETS GOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Towing a vehicle with a bike, traction will be the biggest part of the challenge. Sam shows up with knobby tires on a wet day...
Look up kinetic ropes, offroaders use them all the time for recovery of stuck vehicles. If you had a good run at it, either that thing will move or you are going over the handlebars
Be interesting to strip the motor to see if it sustained any damage, also to remove the cassette and check things out.
I'm still so jealous of your full sus canyon
😊😊
I was actually wondering that this week 😅
Yes - the epic ness has started
Make it a trike or connect 2 mtn. bikes side by side to deal with stability and connect the tow lower as others have suggested. More weight on the bike(s) also for more grip? Have you written/talked to Canyon about updating their towing limits for this bike?
WE LOVE YOU SAAMM WE DO x3
OOOOHHH SAM WE LOVE YOU
If you used a solid bar that cannot move left or right radially, you would get more efficient forward motion. I think the motorhome would be possible.
be funny at 1.14 if lewi in buggy crouched down pressing the acceleration pedal lol.
Very good idea
Try and get sponsored by red bull they will definitely take you 😂
You know how you do that thing with a tube to stop your cranks spinning off jumps? Maybe try something like that to keep your bars straight and you'll be able to reduce the torque steer you're getting :p
You could pull like made if you ran the tow strap over with the back wheel turning the back wheel into a winch but this would be more of a test for how strong the wheel is I think all the force would squeeze around the wheel
Weigh down the front maybe? Then try and pull a diesel locomotive! It might work over a level crossing, rails are very efficient, very little friction to overcome!
Rip e-bike motor 😂
Fish on!
Well there it is, tire pressure matters lol
The E-bikeguy with his DIY Ebike, towed a midsize car up to a speed of 28 MPH.
love ya sam, great vids
And then you have Canyon saying my e-bike frame can crack if I pull a kids trailer with it... safe to say I feel better about that now.
Thats incredible
Ham break 😂😂
I really hope your buggy fits the big motorhome
Need to try!
That bike is sick
Gonna buy one and start a towing service
To all those people who say "yeah but you can't haul _____ with a bike", Sam just shut you up.
I wonder how the frame likes that..... I got a "dont tow trailers" in my mtb manual :p
