This is a very nice video and a great modification for your E-bikes using a HFT cargo basket. Also, very well explain in simple to follow instruction. Great job looks good. I be looking forward in designing one similar to yours.
I did a similar modification to a harbor freight cargo carrier about 5 months ago prior to me coming across this video. I skinned my cat differently but this seems trustworthy and beats the heck out of $750 plus for a new one, if you can get one. I had to remark, it’s uncanny that I found you that someone else thought the same idea. Thanks ! Great minds…
There are a lot of manufactures out there. I studied for weeks before I decided. The RAD Power Bikes seemed the better choice. You want at least 750 watt battery, 48 volt, 14Ah. I got a step through which makes it easy to mount and dismount, instead of throwing your leg over the bike all the time.
Jose, the metal carrier is from Harbour Freight. It is rated at 500 pounds. Two ebikes could weigh up to 150 or more pounds combined. What you have to be aware of is the over all weight. That is.....bikes and the carrier. Your hitch and receiver have to be rated in excess of the total over all weight. What ever you decide to do .........good luck
Hey Jack..............I had the carrier for several years just lying around not being used. The wood was scraps, I cut to fit. I made this one for pennies. Use the materials you have on hand. Thanks
