Building a Light Cargo Bike
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 ноя 2017
- My second Cargo Bike build on this channel. It's a long video but I tried to make it as snappy as possible. Might not look like it, but this is about a month of work condensed into 24 minutes! I actually finished building this bike back in Summer.
My goal was to build a new daily ride that is light, fast and agile without cargo but with enough carrying capacity to move most of the tools/materials/people and random junk I need to get from A to B on an average day. With the weather in Hamburg, and the darkness of winter that also meant full fenders, dirt resistant MTB components and very good lights. I managed to incorporate all of this and I'm extremely happy with the result.
This bike is based on the Danish Omnium Cargo - If you're interested in buying something similar, check them out, their bikes are amazing, and if it wasn't for the fun of building, I probaby would have bought one.

I used Aluminium because I wanted this to be as light as possible and as quick as possible when I'm not moving any cargo. I managed to beat both the steel and the titanium version Omnium makes, with this entire frameset including fork weighing in at 5.51kGs and the complete bike at about 15kg with all the parts. Less than a lot of "normal" bikes - For a cargo bike, it's fast as hell. You can shoulder it and carry it up a set of stairs easily. That being said, this is not a heavy hauler. I've tested it to around 80KGs of cargo in addition to the rider. It's made for light- to medium loads and large volume - which is what this design excels at

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.
Amazing building skills, great video editing. And great choice for a final song
yeaa the final vapor)
impressive! loved the light tricks :D
I love watching craftsmen working. You, sir, are a craftsman.
Metal work, welding, electrical work, you got the skills I aspire to have one day.
The bike looks amazing thanks for sharing with us.
Awesome build! This is seriously my dream bike. Brilliant problem solving with the wiring and steering too! 🙌
Bike looks like from factory. Great job!
Dude, this is such a sick build! Love how much you tricked it out with the build kit.
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!
작업 멋집니다. You are nice creating worker.
Vous êtes formidable artisan. Bravo
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.
Hi Phil, This is amazing! I really like the hole saw drilling jig! nice work.
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 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
Fun fact:
The Omnium itself is inspired by Bilenky, an american frame-builder who made this kind of frame.
Wow - I'm jealous! This would be a great daily rider for me. Beautiful work.
Brilliant build and video as well. I appreciate all the work that went into making the video too. THank you
Amazing build and mad skills. Also super watchable.
I have learnt more about about metal work watching these short videos than I learnt in my whole life!!! Excellent.
Perfect build congrats. Really inspiring to see you build this.
Pretty cool build. Interesting wheel choice though. Digging the electrics. Will definitely incorporate some of these tips into future builds.
I really want to build this bike and live this life! Great job man. Thanks for sharing.
There should be a love button for this level of excellence ❤
100% 🙌
Brilliant! Really good job.
Wish I had one when I was still doing cycling.
Elliott Rodgers you Can ride a bike at all ages
And if you are to old to ride you Can get a e bike
Великолепно !!! Продумано все до мелочей, до каждого миллиметра. Побольше такого рода проектов !
Amazing skills, job and bike, really enjoyed watching this vid! That bike looks so racy yet is so versatile, congrats!
Really nicely made bike, and a nicely edited video too - just the right amount of detail!
Bery cool and unique build. Impressive welding techniques. Great looking bike
Amazing. Impressive skills. Can't imagine the amount of hours that went into that build. Worth it I'm sure!
That was a great trick taping two tubes together to mark a straight line down both of them! I'll definitely use that!
Que buen trabajo... Wow... No solo de la construcción de la bicicleta, también de la producción del vídeo... simplemente excelente
Wow that was awesome. Every thing was executed so well. Great watchin'.
Your engineering skill is phenomenal. Well done man.
Loved it, great build and nicely put together video. Fine work!
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.
I love external cables and internal wires. Nice work with those lights.
Can't believe it's been five years already! Still one of the best cargo bike builds 🙌
Couldn't stop watching! Really cool! You have definitely right-placed-hands.
Greetings from Tasmania Australia...Love the topic but LOVE the Video build/editing...A LOT OF WORK THERE ! Came across you via a FB bike forum and DIY Crafter
Fantastic bike.
Such an awesome project. Much can be achieved with simple tools when there is passion. Thanks for sharing
They aren't that simple though !
Great video👍🏻 and I just realized that smaller wheel makes dynamo more efficient 🤪
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.
Great job.. what a difference it makes to have all the right tools at hand!
Yes it looks like a dream home !
I just watched the whole video. What a great build!
lights are super cool, as is the rest of the project. very nice to see this process! thanks, man ... I've subscribed
cool video, precision work and really, really amazing cargo
Brilliant work, well done. Very impressive! Bike looks fantastic!
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.
You are my new hero. Thank you from down in Australia 🙏🏻
Impressive work. Utility bikes a real bonus to society.
Again, such a pleasure to watch.
Keep it up!
Mmm
Great video! Awesome footage with the perfect music.
How can any one thumbs down this video.. Amazing work awesome idea!!!
Sehr geiles bike!
Great idea having the steering tucked away like that, a lot better than the usual long bent bar.
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! ❤❤
Quality work!
Incredible job. It looks awesome.
This is the coolest thing I've seen in a while. Subscribed!
man that's really cool, you did a fantastic job!
Great build, well done!
Great looking bike, really versatile!
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 👌🏾
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.
You've done a great job!
Love what you are doing!!
wow awesome job right here
you genius !
and looks siiiick Bravo!
First time i watched this kind of video and amazing!! I enjoyed watching.
AMAZING. RESPECT.
Design, bicycles and TIG welding all in one video, I think I am in heaven. Truly inspiring work, it came out beautiful
Awesome, you are so brilliant, i'm so jealous :D ! Great job ! Your baby is perfect !
Fans of your work! Happy New Year!
New sub baby here lol thank you brethren for the inspiration stay blessed and don’t stress
Aí sabe o que faz , tem um bom conhecimento parabéns.
Your requirements are very similar to what I need. I want to build mine with my everlast welder this summer.
i wish i also had a workshop like that
Nice job!! I love your work
Felicitaciones! Great work!
Very nice build..detailed and very precise..
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!
Forza Sankt Pauli, friggin great bike mate!
Just perfect... nothing else to say!
Super like !
Ho guardato questa tua nuova creatura prendendo un telaio industriale. ottimo lavoro anche bravo
Wow i love your work !
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.
fabulous build
Absolutely beautiful!
SUPER IMPRESSIVE!!!
wonderful work
Excellent - really inspiring. German precision - what you would expect.
Uma obra de arte parabéns ao artista 👏👏👏👏.
very nice man! Congrats.
Another cool build! I see you found a lathe!
Ha, yeah. I really need one in my shop though. Not very convenient this way
I love the bike! And I think I already saw you on the streets with this one. :)
Very possible if you're in Hamburg! It's hard to miss in the dark ;)
Видос приятен к просмотру! Саунд подобран идеально! Создателю респект!
thanks for the tip of using wire to mock up before welding
Great build!
Holy Shit. I am so grateful for this video. I hope to meet this person one day. Totally inspired. A huevo.
와우~ 용접,재단, 금속 가공, 전기까지.... 엄청난 능력자이시네
