its been like 3 years since i first watch this video and today i can finally say that i made my own cargobike its not exactly like this but this video was my inspiration all this time
Absolutely positively killer design and craftsmanship. As someone who runs 90% of his errands on a bicycle, a cargo bike of this design is on my wish list.
“The most important thing you need is motivation and you can’t buy that” I just love this phrase because it's so true :). Great job and I've started to visualize building one by myself.
me too. But I first need to save some money on an AC TIG welder because I want to do this whole bike out of aluminium. Mainly because I have tons of it lying around and I barely own any steel.
Thanks for the video ! I actually drew a LOT of inspiration from your first cargo bike tutorial and we made our own with my wife and father last year. With this video, everything is a lot more easy to understand and I hope people will dare to build their own. Thanks again !
Thanks! I was surprised how many people were inspired by that and went through the effort of extracting the information from those pictures. I hadn't intended the post as a tutorial back then since I didn't expect people would like it so much they want to recreate it. And I also never wrote down any measurements back then.. so that's why I had planned to do this video for a long time, we need more cargo bikes in the world :)
The tip on citric acid to remove plating is great, used it last weekend on some 3/16"' diameter rod. What a lifesaver, thanks. Even though ill never build a cargo bike, I enjoyed the video and always enjoy your craftsmanship and peaceful demeanor.
@@lilsazon I 3d printed a 300w portable sun within 1 week with no previous experience of anything engineering. It worked 1st try and while smaller than I bicycle and mechanically simpler it's more complex. 5 years is not that short
When I was young my grandmother instructed me to "Learn something new every day of your life". I think I'm averaging good to the end of the month after this video even if I learn no more.
Looks like this was actually built out of necessity- not just a build for likes- Very impressive and inspirational- been wanting to do something like this for some time.
This is incredible. I've been wanting to build this type of cargo bike for a few years now. Excited to buy your plans and no longer have any excuses not to start! Thank you!
Great work ! great plans, thank you so much for it ! I did mine for about 410€, 100 hours. I was a complete beginner in MMA welding. I spent a long time doing the welding. I had some difficulties for finding the 1”1/8 steal fork before I realized it was BMX standard. Another problem I had : I didn't manage to extract the bottom bracket, which was very seized up. I was affraid welding without removing it would burn the grease or even weld the ball bearings. Hopefully it is still rolling and no particular problem until now. And I did a small mistake with the steering tubes dimension (too thin) so I've been tinkering to make it fit. My advice : choose a good donor bike, I lose money buying new gearing, and other new bike parts.
Nice! Also good to hear some feedback on cost and build time, 400 bucks and 100 hours is about what I would guess as well for an average build. Looks like you also learned a lot of new stuff which I think is a big pro with taking on a project like this. Seized bottom brackets are a pretty common problem on older frames, I would generally suggest to disassemble any donor frame completely before you use it to find potential problems. Maybe you can still get it out though, it's usually just a problem of finding a way to apply enough torque
Honestly this is incredible. I always wanted to get an ebike to commute but there's no way I'm taking a car full of tools on my bike, I reckon I could easily fit most of my tools on that, asides maybe a chop saw. Definitely gonna have to look into building one of these for the summer
I really appreciate your no nonsense approach ( w/o streching the timeline b.s.that so many videos favor) . Not that I'm saying everything need be uber serious though. .Your delivery and" cut to the chase" detail overview, with the admix of alternate possibilities ( pro and con ) made me an instant subscriber, follower, fan i.e.fanatic😁 (which means I will be pointing others to your channel and existence) and as a person who will only give real - or none at all - compliments ...I say " this was a joy to watch from start to finish." Thank you !
Thanks! My vids have a tendency to get too long as it is, so I try to keep it as concise as I can without skipping major info. Glad to hear when people notice it!
Since these questions come up a lot: - The final weight of the whole bike is about 30 Kilograms in my case. Obviously this will differ slightly between builds depending on parts and materials. - No you don't need a motor to ride it, the effort required isn't that much higher than a normal bike unless you're going uphill with lots of cargo. - Yes it's easy to ride, you get used to the handling after a few minutes.
Very impressive build. I watched the whole video and think about to build one by my own. You think you also can build it from aluminum with higher wall thickness of the tubes?
@@stefanludwig275 Yeah I have considered that as well. I think the construction would translate well to Aluminum, 2mm walls would probably be enough as it's already quite overbuilt. I mainly went with steel because it's more common and you can use it with most welders
@@PhilVandelay Why you removed the downtube from the mountainbike frame? You dont think that you have more stiffness if you use the whole frame? Another thing, i think you are german, right? Than we also could write in german :-)
Thank you for that intro explaining that you don't NEED a full blown workshop with thousands of dollars worth of tools. I've seen so many negative comments in DIY videos along the lines of "BS, it's only a cheap build if you have tool x, y, and z and they're expensive". As you said, a cheap welder and angle grinder or even hacksaw are the bare minimum along with some basic hand tools - under $200 to get started and they're useful around the house anyway. Not to mention the people complaining about cost of materials. Council roadside cleanups are your friend, as are give-away pages on places like Gumtree, Craigslist etc. If you're inventive, you can adapt all sorts of things that others consider scrap :D As for the build, that big gap under the donor bike looks like it would be a great space for a 4 stroke motor for people living in places it's still legal and want some help powering along with a heavy load. Or a great space for an extra large DIY lithium ion battery pack if you want to go electric. Great design. Relatively simple to build but looks very robust (welding skill dependant) and versatile.
What a nice project log! Thanks a lot Phil. I just started working at my old art academy and there they have all the tools to build a project like this. Wood workshop, metal workshop, CNC mill to mill wooden parts.. I can just mill out jigs to hold the metal parts in place. Then move everything over to the metal workshop and simply assemble the bike there using all of the jigs. I might consider this project as it's really something that challenges me and I like a challenge :) Thanks for the inspiration! I know it's very hard work to besides doing such a project, also document every step in a sensible way.
Your narration was so impressive, just like the way you made the bike... Clear and understandable to even a layman. Tnx for uploading this n wishing you all the best with lots of love... Enjoy the ride...
What a huge effort, both in planning and execution and in photography and editing. You through a lot of good advices all over the video, this advices are really helpful. Thanks a lot.
Firstly, informative, concise and INTERESTING enough to watch to the end, and come out of it inspired and itching to get going! Secondly, how refreshing with the calm voice and calm musicwhich actually seems to disappear. Logical sequence, a little humour and fun to watch thanks!
How does I watch you a year ago and not remember. You are truly god tier level of inspirational motivation; *welding in your kitchen apartment* what excuse do most of us have? Grab some propane torches and an LPG tank and braise it yourself in the park if you have to! Really I just feel shame at looking at these levels of excellence. How an automatically every step,.thought and action get me on the path when I can action though, wishes into sketches, designs and actual builds... Breathe....
This video made me smile from beginning to end! 😊 You sir think outside the box ... are an incredible engineer ... and a master craftsman! Your extra attention to detail is what makes what you're doing so enjoyable to watch! Keep inventing ... and PLEASE ... keep making videos! And the things you can carry on this bike!! WOW! 😂 LOVE IT!! Keep up the good work!! 👍
It's such a useful idea. A trailer can do some of this quite well. This style of Dutch or Danish Cargo Bike is very flexible. When I was a kid in the 60s, I saw many of them in Denmark carrying crates of beer LOL. I even saw an old one here in the UK. With modern Electric assistance they would be very practical even for people like me.
Personally I don't have a need for such a bike, but what an ingenious solution for so many. Bloody awesome job Phil and a very well articulated voice over that explained everything perfectly.
Can anyone think of a way it would be possible to use 2"x1" instead of the 60mm×60mm in the plans? I have a ton of 2"x1" laying around that I would love to put to use over buying a new piece of 20' of steel.
Excellent video! Lot of skill and hard work there 💪 A Bullitt framekit is around 1600€ and for someone who has no access to a workshop, let alone any skills in the area, it just might be the cheapest option 😅
Great video. I built a really rough bike of this type several years ago. Now that my circumstances actually suit a cargo bike, I may have to build another. Just bought your plans.
Interesting and practical bike modifications I completely agree with you about not needing a fancy shop and tools to get projects done at one point in my life i had to downsize and i found myself living in a two bedroom Comdominium as a Woodworker by profession and a all around handy person i used to transform my living room into a temporary shop to do things from repairing Motorcycles , outboard engines and to build furniture ironically i am a very neat and clean worker so there was not any evidence of me doing all those projects in my small area because i used drop cloths and dust collection and often my Kichen table became my work bench as well one i built and it was a Formica covered surface to match my countertops in the kitchen i even had a small vise that clamped on temporarily some of my completed projects included Go Cart rebuild , Installing new head gasket on a Personal Watercraft , rebuilding a Small Block Chevy V8 marine engine, bribing a Oak Wall unit that was 8 foot tall , and a few outboard engine
Nice! Yeah you can do a lot in a limited space, it might take longer and it's more annoying, but not impossible. Nobody should give up on building things purely for that reason. Work with what you got, instead of focusing on what you don't have
The first thing I built was a tube-frame dune buggy. All I had was a stick welder, half-round file and a hacksaw. It eventually worked out well, but I sure wouldn't want to do it that way again. In comparison, the material in this project makes it a piece of cake. Good job.
This is fantastic! You are the person who first inspired me to want to make a cargo bike with your originall bike build on on Reddit all those years ago. Please make more videos!
Thanks so much for posting this video - inspiring stuff! Some great tips there for the first timer and I like that you encourage anyone, no matter what their resources are, to give it a go.
That is an incredible design and build. Kudos to you! You could even attach a comfy seat (I'm talking Lazy Boy Recliner-ish!) to the platform and mobilize a disabled person or anyone, for that matter. The electric idea is very tantalizing!
This is a very useful idea and a great project tutorial. Your choices are very practical and fit very well with the design goal. I also like the option to make the bike an electric variant. Just great options on this one idea of a modified bicycle. These would be great to have in auto assembly plants for skilled tradesmen to use and get some exercise in. Thanks again for your great design knowledge and fabrication skill.
Great job.. I'm inspired to build one for myself... I'm thinking of having the cargo bay be foldable to reduce the width of the bike when I'm not hauling anything, and would allow the bike to fit most bike racks... Again great job!!!
0:14 Ms. Frizzle: "ok class the school sold our bus so now we have to use our imaginations on the trip, speaking of which we are going to explore the great lakes."
Great video! You’re a Brompton folding bike fan! The first Brompton in that colour was mine. Brompton serviced my bike and they liked the colour I’d painted mine so much they used it the following year for the new colour choices of Brompton’s .
I really enjoyed watching your video. I am not going to build one but still enjoyed watching it. You have a calm intelligent way of speaking which is great. Thanks
32:00 you made a hole in the front of the frame for the bolt to go in. But whenever anything wet gets in the tubing through that hole it won't have anywhere to escape through. Perhaps you should've made one or a few holes at the lowest point of the frame so water can drip out?
do you know internet license is one thing thats free for mankind it shouldnt be charging money that means your paying for something belongs to you thanks to the inventer and founder
You should use a plastic washer between the stainless bolts and the alu deck, stainless steel reacts with alu and the bolt will seize up good. I used to work on the tour boats in Copenhagen, we had to replace all the bolt holding down the deck, 9 out of 10 bolt was stuck and needed to be drilled out. You also need to give the bolt a bit of grease.
Фил, большое спасибо тебе, что так по - простому показал все необходимые операции по изготовлению Карго велика. Буду повторять и говорить всем ФИЛ ТЫ СУПЕР. Продолжай в том же духе Жду новых видео. Подписка и жирный лайк
@@juanmapagan3947 same, watched the whole thing and didn't even look first that it was 40 min. granted, now i watch almost everything in 2x speed but still counts i think
Got my parts all ordered up found two bikes ordered the plans and found a really nice industrial storage box for the cargo bay, never welded before but I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it with a little practice it’s not a race so I can just take my time. THANKS SO MUCH 👍👍👍👍
Brakes: I got problems with heavy load in the rain downhill on my cargobike, so I changed to Magura hydraulic rimbrakes. No problem anymore! Great video! Thx
didn't think i was going to watch this entire video,i was mistaken and am now subscribed,very nice. just my 2 cents: plastic washers between stainless screws and alluminium plate if this ever gets wet (galvanic corosion)
GREAT VIDEO... VERY IMPRESSIVE BUILD... I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU NOT KILLING ME WITH LOUD MUSIC... THANKS FOR POSTING... LOOKING FORWARD TO FUTURE BUILDS...
I watched this a year ago and I have just completed my first cargo bike build. I love it! I will make more I'm sure but I had a lot of fun building it and it's surprisingly stable and strong. Thanks for sharing this idea
Excellent video and even better plans. Thank you very much for all the work you put into this. I plan on building at least two of these. Good health to you!
Hi Phil! I’m in the process of building my own bike from your plans. I ran into a little hiccup that isn’t mentioned in the plans: my bottom bracket on my donor frame is about 1” higher than the bike in your plans, and consequently my down-tube will need to be about an inch shorter. Great plans by the way! Love your work!
Ah yes, I think I was thinking about covering bottom bracket height but I thought it's probably going into too much detail for most people. It's hard to write a general guide because there's so many different frame geometries out there, it's almost impossible to take every possible variation into account. Glad you figured it out though, in the end, it's usually not too much of a problem if you're off by a bit here and there, you can build these things pretty crooked and they still ride relatively fine ;)

The first Brompton in that colour was mine. Brompton serviced my bike and they liked the colour I’d painted mine so much they used it the following year for the new colour choices of Brompton’s .
I like your work Man👍😊
Wow
yes I am also from Indonesia🇮🇩👋👍
I really enjoyed watching your video. I am not going to build one but still enjoyed watching it. You have a calm intelligent way of speaking which is great. Thanks
10:34 RIP. But as an American I can say, it was was worth it though. :D
Your attention to detail is remarkable... Thanks for a well build product....
The sponsor joke got me subscribing 🤘
same
Wonderful job! Nice to watch the process. A cyclist from Russia with love.
Love this. So much possibility and endless potentials. Well made and well done 👍.
Super interesting to make this into a long-range electric bicycle. Well done!
this is so cool, i would be carrying so much stuff everywhere lmao
Bravo, prava stvar, za pravog čoveka...!
>The most important thing you need is motivation and you can’t buy that
Well, I guess I'm shit outta luck here
32:00 you made a hole in the front of the frame for the bolt to go in. But whenever anything wet gets in the tubing through that hole it won't have anywhere to escape through. Perhaps you should've made one or a few holes at the lowest point of the frame so water can drip out?
Yeah I remember thinking I should drill a hole at the lowest point and then forgot about it... Good point
@@PhilVandelay would be a shame for it to rot on the inside :D
I ve watched the whole video. this is why I pay for my internet
do you know internet license is one thing thats free for mankind it shouldnt be charging money that means your paying for something belongs to you thanks to the inventer and founder
@@abzcabz9211 who should I make a lawsuit against?
You should use a plastic washer between the stainless bolts and the alu deck, stainless steel reacts with alu and the bolt will seize up good. I used to work on the tour boats in Copenhagen, we had to replace all the bolt holding down the deck, 9 out of 10 bolt was stuck and needed to be drilled out.
You also need to give the bolt a bit of grease.
17:12 If it looks flat it is flat, reminded me of my classmate girl
Фил, большое спасибо тебе, что так по - простому показал все необходимые операции по изготовлению Карго велика. Буду повторять и говорить всем ФИЛ ТЫ СУПЕР. Продолжай в том же духе Жду новых видео. Подписка и жирный лайк
“The most important thing you need is motivation and you can’t buy that”
The build plans are worth every penny, thanks Phil
shortest 40 minutes ever xD
Didnt even notice it was 40 minutes till you mentioned it!!! Lovely!
@@juanmapagan3947 same, watched the whole thing and didn't even look first that it was 40 min. granted, now i watch almost everything in 2x speed but still counts i think
Perfekte Produktion. Beides
I watched it again and again..
P
Just the perfect amount of detail in the explanation. Great bike.
My favorite video on all of RUclips. Thanks, bro.
Got my parts all ordered up found two bikes ordered the plans and found a really nice industrial storage box for the cargo bay, never welded before but I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it with a little practice it’s not a race so I can just take my time. THANKS SO MUCH 👍👍👍👍
Always glad to hear that! It'll be a rewarding experience 👍
Brakes: I got problems with heavy load in the rain downhill on my cargobike, so I changed to Magura hydraulic rimbrakes. No problem anymore!
Great video! Thx
Good idea!
didn't think i was going to watch this entire video,i was mistaken and am now subscribed,very nice.
just my 2 cents: plastic washers between stainless screws and alluminium plate if this ever gets wet (galvanic corosion)
Good point, I'll keep an eye out for that
GREAT VIDEO... VERY IMPRESSIVE BUILD... I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU NOT KILLING ME WITH LOUD MUSIC... THANKS FOR POSTING... LOOKING FORWARD TO FUTURE BUILDS...
I can see an Ikea advert right here, excellent idea and implentation, well done.
“The most important thing you need is motivation, and you can’t buy that”. Best line in any how to video I’ve ever seen. This is a great video
I watched this a year ago and I have just completed my first cargo bike build. I love it! I will make more I'm sure but I had a lot of fun building it and it's surprisingly stable and strong. Thanks for sharing this idea
Excellent video and even better plans.
Thank you very much for all the work you put into this. I plan on building at least two of these.
Good health to you!
you did a great thing - this video inspired people worldwide to build their own cargo bikes
Great video, built mine own according to this and now i'm one happy cargobike owner! Thanks Phil!!!
Very useful for bringing provision materials,weekly vegetables and so on in one time very good thanks
Wow, Your fabrication skills have come a long way since that first bike.
That was great. Probably the best how to yet. I loved every minute of it.
Great build. I love the sofa attached.
So this is the famous Vandelay, importer and exporter.
Excelente trabajo bien editado el video .no te aburres durante el obrar (mecanizado de piezas) repito EXCELENTE TU TRABAJO . MUCHACHO!!!
Best cargo bike build I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing. Rod in San Francisco
very nice n neat...n theres plenty of frame space for interating Ebike batteries and motor on the rearhub...to aid climbing hills with load...
nice work...truly nice work.what i admire most from you DIY guys is the patience & ingenuity...
Hi Phil! I’m in the process of building my own bike from your plans.
I ran into a little hiccup that isn’t mentioned in the plans: my bottom bracket on my donor frame is about 1” higher than the bike in your plans, and consequently my down-tube will need to be about an inch shorter.
Great plans by the way! Love your work!
Ah yes, I think I was thinking about covering bottom bracket height but I thought it's probably going into too much detail for most people. It's hard to write a general guide because there's so many different frame geometries out there, it's almost impossible to take every possible variation into account. Glad you figured it out though, in the end, it's usually not too much of a problem if you're off by a bit here and there, you can build these things pretty crooked and they still ride relatively fine ;)
