Video about how I built my own cargo bike! And hopefully to inspire you to build your own!
It took me about 6 weeks in total. Probably 4 evenings a week about 2 hours, and two full saturdays.
If you want to build one too, I hope this video gives you the courage to just do it! Just go online and watch all the video's, get inspiration and design your bike in your head. Make a sketch, and start playing around :-)
Ask all questions you have! And let me know if you started your own project now.
Costs for the project (in EUR):
MTB Giant Coldrock: 30
Kids junk bike: 5
Steel: around 80
Bike parts, tires, cables etc: 50
Misc parts, bolts, joints: 25
Wooden cargo box: 75
Paint: 30
Total parts: 295
Welder LIDL: 90 (discount)
Drill press 0.5kW 16mm: 90
But you can keep those for the next project ;-)
