The Surly Big Easy a long-tail electric cargo bike “designed to expand what’s possible by bike,” as Surly puts it. It’s meant to ride and feel like a normal bike, with an upright and comfortable riding position, swept-back bars, and 26 x 2.5″ tires for a smooth ride over varied terrain.
The Big Easy just received a major update for 2024 that makes it look even more appealing as a car replacement, big-payload hauler, or family bikepacking rig. It’s still built around a double-butted Chromoly steel frame and has been redesigned with a lower standover height, a lower battery position, more mounting points, and boost hub spacing with thru-axles.
The 2024 Big Easy comes equipped with a dropper post to accommodate more riders across the three frame sizes, four-piston Tektro hydraulic brakes, and Surly’s updated Big Dummy bags. It features a damping headset for smooth and stable handling under heavy loads, can run dual batteries for extended range, has an integrated dual-leg kickstand mount, and uses a Bosch Performance Line Cargo drive unit.
It’s a Class 1 e-bike, meaning it is pedal-assist only, with no throttle, and has a maximum assisted speed of 20 miles per hour. It comes as a complete build with a Bosch PowerPack 725Wh battery, Bosch 4A Charger, and a 9-speed Shimano Cues drivetrain. It has a gross payload of 400 pounds total (including rider and cargo).
The 2024 Surly Big Easy comes in three sizes (small, medium, and large), weighs in at 74 pounds (size medium), and is only offered as a complete build for $5,499 USD. Head over to SurlyBikes.com or stop by your local Surly dealer to learn more.
