Totally awesome video. I'm 53 years old and love seeing a younger guy like yourself working with his hands with such skill and dedication to a project, including putting together a video to share with us. Thank you.
Well done , you have built something that is multi functional and practical at the same time, congratulations on your build, clever idea with the built in lights good to be seen in the dark.
This is excellent big like!!! This is a perfect balance for a cargo bike for normal everyday use. Payload is about right for kids or a big shopping trip at the supermarket! If you add a rack on the bak too you can max it out a little more. I'd love to have peddle assist too for the big hills when fully loaded!
Phil, Love your workmanship! Dad could do all of those things, but between 16 -18 years of age I was working to afford chasing girls! Then joined the Navy to avoid the draft, when I came 20 years later the Teacher had died. I had the aptitude, but my timing sucked! Loved your project! ❤❤
Grade ein omium cargo classic erstanden aber das hier is noch mal ne schoenere loesung.. ich liebe zwar stahl aber das wuerde ich fahren 🤩 aaaaaber, ich haette den rahmen komplett roh gelassen. Was sicherlich geschmackssache ist. Fettes video, mein hoechster respekt!
Omg, i wish to have this machines to build like you men, its awesome built your own projects, im a cyclist who had a spinal chord damage and i love to still riding and improve some stuffs for going more comfortable 👌🏾
Fantastic effort. I want one!! My wife's 26" Long Haul Trucker weighed in at 14kg so for a cargo bike you've done a really good job of keeping the weight down.
Cool bike! I just need a TIG welder and then I’ll be good to go. I love the bike-friendliness of European cities. We must become more like this in the UK!
I love all the care and attention to the lights, although I would have put another backlight in the middle behind the seat and the ones in front can be covered by your legs. Stay safe out there. The internal cable routing is wonderful, I kind of wish you’d make a video where you do obsessive internal cable management and do all the wiring inside for a super clean looking bike.
Yeah a third one would be good. But you can usually see at least one of the two when you're driving behind though, well at least nobody has crashed into me yet ;) Internal cables is definitely something on my list if I do another "elaborate" type of build.
Mann dein Kanal ist der Hammer. Ich komm eigentlich vom Holz, aber brauch auf jeden Fall so eine Bandsäge und muss Aluschweißen lernen. Geiler Shiat, Mann.
Ich hab die ganze Zeit geahnt, dass es sich in Hamburg abspielt, da ich glaube, dein Gesicht schon mal gesehen zu haben. Geil, was Du da fabriziert hast und das auch noch mit diesen einfachen Mitteln.
Na hat da jemand die Leitungs Befestigung für die Züge vergessen.😉 Aber ernsthaft richtig gut, richtig hochwertig und vor allem von hinten bis vorne komplett durchdacht. Ab sofort ist es eines meiner Lieblings Videos hier auf RUclips. 😎👍
Incredible job, Phil. The video quality is excellent and I just love the fact that you primarily did all of this with tools many homeowners have. So cool!
Yeah it probably would be a bit sturdier with a horizontal top tube or even a second top tube. But most of the cargo weight is directly over the front wheel/fork with this design so the rear only has to carry the rider. The frame is very stiff though, due to the large diameter tubing
This is my 1st time watchin' your videos, and the best thing I like in this one, is you tell us all the things about your tig welder like what diameter tungsten and filler rod and type of the second one you use, what settings you have, these
You should stick a really high tech looking webbing strap system for the cargo to really tie that HOT ride together. thanks for sharing such a treat to watch
Funny thing, I already bought the materials to do just that a few weeks ago. I just can't seem to get around to it. That being said the inner tubes actually work great since they absorb a lot of road vibration so stuff doesn't rattle around as much
Wow this is neither an average vid not any bike.... This is real deal. Impressive skills, but I guess not everyone will be able to do it... specially due to number of highly specialised machinery that you need.
Skip the mundane processes that most of us wouldn’t do because of the lack of equipment. Don’t get me wrong as I’m a retired marine machinery mechanic of 33yrs that did a lot submarine machining! But, TY 4 the brainstorming idea.
Have you ever considered that I'm not here to make videos specifically catered for your personal tastes? If you don't like this style of video, watch something else. Plenty of people are interested in the process of building things, and plenty of them have workshops.
I watched the recent cargo bike that was mainly steel, now this one that holds it's cargo much higher but aluminum, now I want to see the best of both worlds: A lightweight, but strong, cargo bike that holds it's cargo low. Extra points if the cargo section can be removed and changed out for thinner and wider platforms and easier storage.
That's definitely coming and it will probably be electric too. The green one I only built for the tutorial, not really for myself so I tried to keep it low-tech. This bike here has its own advantages though, it's super light and agile for a cargo bike, there's always a tradeoff between a light bike and a strong bike
While I am thinking this seems a good design and why did you change it more recently from this upward sloping frontward extention to a straight down low frame bar? It came to mind OH! it changes the center of gravity of the basket to a much lower load. So good to have these vids to watch and reckon with. thanks for the post.
A company does make these, check out the description. Like most utility bikes this general frame design has been around for a long time, I'm not the first to build one
Hi, what kind of aluminum you used? Al 6060 tube? or? I starting design my own cargobike too. From old aluminium frame but I dont know witch Al tube use. Thanks for answer :) great video and building
Nice build I tried rig welding with a converted Harbor Freight ark welder 90 amp I never could get it to work. Maybe for just spot welds only hay but nice bike build
Great build. Have you considered making your own bike from scratch, except for the parts you cannot make? All your builds are outstanding, I i really like the coffee table, couch and bike wall rack.
Thanks, definitely an interesting idea, maybe some day :) Next plan is to at least make the entire frame (including the rear triangle) but for that I have to make a proper frame jig first. I'm definitely toying with the idea of making some wheel hubs maybe... making tires would be tricky!
great vid I did enjoy the build, but I just thought, there's not much triangulation in the frame for a ?? commercial/weight ?? carrying bike, the only triangle (strength builder) on a long frame is in the middle and it's very small, I'm guessing it's made from an aluminium alloy, which makes it lighter but much weaker... the original frame had a near full triangle (head stem, to pedals to seat to head stem) where this has a Much Larger weight carrying ability but a weaker frame, square box,
I admit that Phil's technology is great, and I appreciate it. The video is very comfortable to watch. But my question is: I did not see any heat treatment of the welded frame. Is this strength sufficient for use?
Nice bike! I would however want to cover the aheadcap of your steerer in some way. Otherwise cargo could touch it and cause high friction while steering or in worst case even lock the steering completly.
Yeah that's one downside of this design but not much you can do about it. It won't lock up the steering, there's nothing that can get caught and it doesn't cause enough friction to really notice it while riding (handlebars provide a lot of leverage and the cap barely has any surface area). The cap gets scratched up though and it can scratch up the cargo. It's kind of a minor thing but I can see how it might seem like a bigger problem just from looking at it
Does it need a heat treatment? I just have the idea that most aluminium frame builders do that. Just curious what happens if you don't. Or dit you simply over dimension so that stiffness and metal fatigue are no concern? Thanks for the amazing video.
Heat treatment isn't as critical as people think in my experience. I never do it and haven't had a single aluminum weld break ever. But yes, I also overbuild things, not in this case though - this bike is built to be very light but still holding up well. It's been a few years and I still ride it.
@@maxspruit8370 My philosophy has always been to rather try things out yourself instead of listening to everyone who says it's impossible. For every single thing I built, there was at least one person telling me it won't work or it'll break, so my advice is to just do it first, worst case is they're right and then at least you know for sure 😉
Totally awesome video. I'm 53 years old and love seeing a younger guy like yourself working with his hands with such skill and dedication to a project, including putting together a video to share with us. Thank you.
Великолепно !!! Продумано все до мелочей, до каждого миллиметра. Побольше такого рода проектов !
There should be a love button for this level of excellence ❤
100% 🙌

Amazing building skills, great video editing. And great choice for a final song

I love watching craftsmen working. You, sir, are a craftsman.
Ho guardato questa tua nuova creatura prendendo un telaio industriale. ottimo lavoro anche bravo
Great idea having the steering tucked away like that, a lot better than the usual long bent bar.
Grade ein omium cargo classic erstanden aber das hier is noch mal ne schoenere loesung.. ich liebe zwar stahl aber das wuerde ich fahren 🤩 aaaaaber, ich haette den rahmen komplett roh gelassen. Was sicherlich geschmackssache ist. Fettes video, mein hoechster respekt!
I have learnt more about about metal work watching these short videos than I learnt in my whole life!!! Excellent.
Fun fact:
The Omnium itself is inspired by Bilenky, an american frame-builder who made this kind of frame.
Omg, i wish to have this machines to build like you men, its awesome built your own projects, im a cyclist who had a spinal chord damage and i love to still riding and improve some stuffs for going more comfortable 👌🏾
Can't believe it's been five years already! Still one of the best cargo bike builds 🙌
Design, bicycles and TIG welding all in one video, I think I am in heaven. Truly inspiring work, it came out beautiful
Видос приятен к просмотру! Саунд подобран идеально! Создателю респект!
Metal work, welding, electrical work, you got the skills I aspire to have one day.
The bike looks amazing thanks for sharing with us.

Доступное сырьё! Доступный инструментарий! Доступные технологии!!! Что ещё для творчества надо? Только ВРЕМЯ!!!!!!!!!
Bike looks like from factory. Great job!
I love external cables and internal wires. Nice work with those lights.
Impressive work. Utility bikes a real bonus to society.
Que buen trabajo... Wow... No solo de la construcción de la bicicleta, también de la producción del vídeo... simplemente excelente

impressive! loved the light tricks :D
Aluminium, lights and wheel building. Great bike you’ve made there. Also like the way you’ve painted donor frame and left custom parts unpainted.
5yrs later and I’m in still rewatching in awe!
You are my new hero. Thank you from down in Australia 🙏🏻
You left me breathless! phil from America
Cool project, it has big potential in our days when we have large amount of deliveries in city.
Mann dein Kanal ist der Hammer. Ich komm eigentlich vom Holz, aber brauch auf jeden Fall so eine Bandsäge und muss Aluschweißen lernen. Geiler Shiat, Mann.
Awesome build! This is seriously my dream bike. Brilliant problem solving with the wiring and steering too! 🙌

Eher weg gelassen aus Faulheit 😅 Bei sowas bin ich dann doch eher pragmatisch
Amazing. Impressive skills. Can't imagine the amount of hours that went into that build. Worth it I'm sure!
Your engineering skill is phenomenal. Well done man.
Great job.. what a difference it makes to have all the right tools at hand!
Yes it looks like a dream home !
I want your bike so bad. That looks like the ultimate bike for so many things.
Excellent - really inspiring. German precision - what you would expect.
Perfect bike for long travel. I want buy one!
sweet ride dude, something just mesmerizing to watch the aluminum/Aluminium welding, cool video, now all you need is a electric motor conversion
Definitely thinking about it but maybe on the next bike :)
Dude, this is such a sick build! Love how much you tricked it out with the build kit.
작업 멋집니다. You are nice creating worker.
Vous êtes formidable artisan. Bravo
Incredible job, Phil. The video quality is excellent and I just love the fact that you primarily did all of this with tools many homeowners have. So cool!
That was a great trick taping two tubes together to mark a straight line down both of them! I'll definitely use that!
Holy Shit. I am so grateful for this video. I hope to meet this person one day. Totally inspired. A huevo.
Won't the frame's square geometry make the structure weaker? Beside that, awesome looking bicycle!!

Wow this is neither an average vid not any bike.... This is real deal.
Impressive skills, but I guess not everyone will be able to do it... specially due to number of highly specialised machinery that you need.
I would suggest put two wheels in the front if you want to carry heavy stuff, like trishaws.

Super like !
Bery cool and unique build. Impressive welding techniques. Great looking bike
Mi pana gracias por el vídeo, felicidades, te quedó fina...
Really nicely made bike, and a nicely edited video too - just the right amount of detail!
Brilliant work, well done. Very impressive! Bike looks fantastic!
Forza Sankt Pauli, friggin great bike mate!
Ist echt gut geworden!

Sepeda yang simpel, praktis dan sempurna dengan lampu di kegelapan malam, kerja hebat teman aku menyukainya.
How can any one thumbs down this video.. Amazing work awesome idea!!!
Brilliant build and video as well. I appreciate all the work that went into making the video too. THank you
This is sick! I would love to see a bike company make these.
A company does make these, check out the description. Like most utility bikes this general frame design has been around for a long time, I'm not the first to build one
WOW. This was a goooood job!
Couldn't stop watching! Really cool! You have definitely right-placed-hands.
fabulous build
Hi, what kind of aluminum you used? Al 6060 tube? or? I starting design my own cargobike too. From old aluminium frame but I dont know witch Al tube use. Thanks for answer :) great video and building
6061 is pretty strong and not too expensive. Besides 2000 and 7000 series can't be welded. I do wonder about the weld strenght though?
Great video lad and great attention to the detail of the build. I'm almost sure that Omnium will offer those lights right from the next season.
Amazing build and mad skills. Also super watchable.
This is the coolest thing I've seen in a while. Subscribed!
Wow - I'm jealous! This would be a great daily rider for me. Beautiful work.
Great video👍🏻 and I just realized that smaller wheel makes dynamo more efficient 🤪
Damn! That looks Solid!
.06125” aluminum for most of the added tubing? No heat treat after welding? Nice job ! Thanks for the video.
Sehr geiles bike!
Absolutely beautiful!
15,kg is insane!!! well done
Your requirements are very similar to what I need. I want to build mine with my everlast welder this summer.
Nice build I tried rig welding with a converted Harbor Freight ark welder 90 amp I never could get it to work. Maybe for just spot welds only hay but nice bike build

I just watched the whole video. What a great build!
Very nice build..detailed and very precise..

Ah, ok. Thanks for the answer!
Love lights, so good idea.
Really good job. Well done
looks like a counterpoint cargo/tandem. (which are fun and great!)
0:58 I love those things! Had to order a bunch for the workshop and nobody actually knew the name, we just call them wiebeltje :')
‘Deburring tool’ is the name in English. A burr being the rough edge that one does not want. Wobbly sounds great too though!
Hi Phil any chance you can do a steel one with plans like the cargo bike ? 👍👍
Check out Omnium who have a very similar design available in steel.
Pretty cool build. Interesting wheel choice though. Digging the electrics. Will definitely incorporate some of these tips into future builds.
Does it need a heat treatment? I just have the idea that most aluminium frame builders do that. Just curious what happens if you don't.
