Building a Light Cargo Bike
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лис 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.
Великолепно !!! Продумано все до мелочей, до каждого миллиметра. Побольше такого рода проектов !
There should be a love button for this level of excellence ❤
100% 🙌
I love watching craftsmen working. You, sir, are a craftsman.
Fun fact:
The Omnium itself is inspired by Bilenky, an american frame-builder who made this kind of frame.
Amazing building skills, great video editing. And great choice for a final song
yeaa the final vapor)
Metal work, welding, electrical work, you got the skills I aspire to have one day.
The bike looks amazing thanks for sharing with us.
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! ❤❤
impressive! loved the light tricks :D
Bike looks like from factory. Great job!
I have learnt more about about metal work watching these short videos than I learnt in my whole life!!! Excellent.
Dude, this is such a sick build! Love how much you tricked it out with the build kit.
Awesome build! This is seriously my dream bike. Brilliant problem solving with the wiring and steering too! 🙌
Can't believe it's been five years already! Still one of the best cargo bike builds 🙌
Wow - I'm jealous! This would be a great daily rider for me. Beautiful work.
Hi Phil, This is amazing! I really like the hole saw drilling jig! nice work.
I really want to build this bike and live this life! Great job man. Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant build and video as well. I appreciate all the work that went into making the video too. THank you
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!
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.
작업 멋집니다. You are nice creating worker.
Vous êtes formidable artisan. Bravo
Great idea having the steering tucked away like that, a lot better than the usual long bent bar.
You are my new hero. Thank you from down in Australia 🙏🏻
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.
Perfect build congrats. Really inspiring to see you build this.
Amazing build and mad skills. Also super watchable.
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
Your engineering skill is phenomenal. Well done man.
I just watched the whole video. What a great build!
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 !
lights are super cool, as is the rest of the project. very nice to see this process! thanks, man ... I've subscribed
Amazing skills, job and bike, really enjoyed watching this vid! That bike looks so racy yet is so versatile, congrats!
Couldn't stop watching! Really cool! You have definitely right-placed-hands.
Que buen trabajo... Wow... No solo de la construcción de la bicicleta, también de la producción del vídeo... simplemente excelente
How can any one thumbs down this video.. Amazing work awesome idea!!!
That was a great trick taping two tubes together to mark a straight line down both of them! I'll definitely use that!
Impressive work. Utility bikes a real bonus to society.
Really nicely made bike, and a nicely edited video too - just the right amount of detail!
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 👌🏾
Wow that was awesome. Every thing was executed so well. Great watchin'.
Bery cool and unique build. Impressive welding techniques. Great looking bike
5yrs later and I’m in still rewatching in awe!
Great job.. what a difference it makes to have all the right tools at hand!
Yes it looks like a dream home !
New sub baby here lol thank you brethren for the inspiration stay blessed and don’t stress
Cool project, it has big potential in our days when we have large amount of deliveries in city.
Pretty cool build. Interesting wheel choice though. Digging the electrics. Will definitely incorporate some of these tips into future builds.
I love external cables and internal wires. Nice work with those lights.
Ho guardato questa tua nuova creatura prendendo un telaio industriale. ottimo lavoro anche bravo
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.
Loved it, great build and nicely put together video. Fine work!
Amazing. Impressive skills. Can't imagine the amount of hours that went into that build. Worth it I'm sure!
Great video👍🏻 and I just realized that smaller wheel makes dynamo more efficient 🤪
Incredible job. It looks awesome.
You've done a great job!
You left me breathless! phil from America
Видос приятен к просмотру! Саунд подобран идеально! Создателю респект!
Great video! Awesome footage with the perfect music.
Great looking bike, really versatile!
Again, such a pleasure to watch.
Keep it up!
Mmm
Awesome, you are so brilliant, i'm so jealous :D ! Great job ! Your baby is perfect !
Brilliant work, well done. Very impressive! Bike looks fantastic!
man that's really cool, you did a fantastic job!
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.
cool video, precision work and really, really amazing cargo
Quality work!
Design, bicycles and TIG welding all in one video, I think I am in heaven. Truly inspiring work, it came out beautiful
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.
Holy Shit. I am so grateful for this video. I hope to meet this person one day. Totally inspired. A huevo.
I want your bike so bad. That looks like the ultimate bike for so many things.
This is the coolest thing I've seen in a while. Subscribed!
AMAZING. RESPECT.
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
Great build, well done!
Excellent - really inspiring. German precision - what you would expect.
wow awesome job right here
you genius !
and looks siiiick Bravo!
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!
Absolutely beautiful!
Perfect bike for long travel. I want buy one!
Just perfect... nothing else to say!
Super like !
First time i watched this kind of video and amazing!! I enjoyed watching.
Forza Sankt Pauli, friggin great bike mate!
Love what you are doing!!
Sehr geiles bike!
fabulous build
SUPER IMPRESSIVE!!!
Very nice build..detailed and very precise..
i wish i also had a workshop like that
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
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.
Felicitaciones! Great work!
Доступное сырьё! Доступный инструментарий! Доступные технологии!!! Что ещё для творчества надо? Только ВРЕМЯ!!!!!!!!!
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.
Sickest thing ever
Love lights, so good idea.
Aí sabe o que faz , tem um bom conhecimento parabéns.
wonderful work
I loved this build
와우~ 용접,재단, 금속 가공, 전기까지.... 엄청난 능력자이시네
Wow i love your work !
