How to Build a DIY Cargo Bike (Plans available!)

Ever since I built my first cargo bike and uploaded some pictures of that build to reddit, I’ve been getting many questions about the bike, how to make it and on cargo bikes in general. Since so many people seem to be interested in building this kind of bike, I’ve finally decided to put out a proper tutorial on how to build one. Even with a long video like this, it’s impossible to include all the necessary information like measurements, so I also made a set of plans to cover all the numbers and theoretical stuff. So this is a deviation from the video format I used to do so far and I’m interested to hear how the audience likes it. I’m considering making more videos like this that focus on teaching/explaining things more. 📐 PLANS: 👕 SHIRTS / Merch Store: 🙏🏻 Patreon: 📷 Instagram: TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Opening 0:46 Introduction/Backstory 1:46 Bike Overview 2:32 Materials Overview 4:37 Frame Jig 6:26 Cutting Donor Frame 7:30 Building new Downtube 14:45 Adding Gussets 16:03 Building Cargo Bay 18:44 Building Steering Shaft 21:33 Building Steering Linkage 27:42 Building Kickstand 30:57 Frame finishing touches 32:50 Painting 33:57 Making Cargo Bay Cover 34:51 Final Assembly 37:12 Final Words/Ending Montage ------------------------------------------------------ Additional Links: 📐Adding disc-brake tabs to a bike frame without using a jig: 📷 The photo story for my first cargo bike: #lastenrad #cargobike
