Such a great design. I wish this was commercially available. I could really really use this in my daily life. In fact, I would say I have needed such a thing for the good majority of my life. Thanks for sharing with us.
There are hundreds of models like this available actually (well, not exactly like this but similar). If you want something with full suspension you might want to look at Riese&Müller, but prepare to be shocked by the price (which I think is justified btw, but many don't realize what goes into making these).
@@PhilVandelay next build should be the hardest and most controversial. The mouse trap. Thousands of designs and everyone will be deeply engaged. The over engineered mouse trap 🪤 could quite possibly be the hardest thing you have ever attempted. The hardest part will be making it cheap . But that would be up to you.
I just finished rebuilding the bike, and it was incredibly fun. I learned so much and had absolutely no prior experience working with metal, nor had I ever built a bike before. The videos and plans are so well explained that even I, with no experience, was able to rebuild the bike. It took a year, but now I can hardly wait to ride it. Maybe one day we’ll meet on the streets of Hamburg, Phil. I wish you continued success, and I’m excited to see your next projects!
The kick stand amongst other parts really make it look and feel like a premium product. I think that because you use your bikes, you've got a great insight into what works and what things don't work for riders.
I'm an avid mountainbiker but I've never ridden an e-bike, I can definitely see it being advantageous on a cargo bike, especially with a heavy load. Suspension looks great, even a small amount of travel goes a long way to take the edge off. Also, Sam Pilgrim would be proud of that "stairset of doom" at the end, haha. Great stuff, Phil. Thoroughly enjoyed the build. :)
@@PhilVandelay I'd say he would jump it, but he is not so good at jumping straight, so I guess he would prob have to flip it! hahah. I had to binge watch both videos, great bike. I also really enjoy your dry humor, priceless. I want one of these first, then try to find a use for it. Beautiful bicycle.
After the release of the first video I could not wait to see the final result. Amusing to see all the attention to details and the care that went into building this nice bicycle. It makes me also appreciate the complexity of bicycles and what mass production allows us to enjoy. Thanks for sharing you project!
Hallo Phill, ich schreibe dir auf Deutsch, weil ich in Teil 2 am Ende gesehen habe, dass das Video in Deutschland mit dem Zug gedreht wurde, der an vorbeifährt. Nach der Veröffentlichung des ersten Videos konnte ich es kaum erwarten, das Endergebnis zu sehen. Es ist lustig zu sehen, wie viel Liebe zum Detail und Sorgfalt in den Bau dieses schönen Fahrrads gesteckt wurde. Es lässt mich auch die Komplexität von Fahrrädern schätzen und das, was uns die Massenproduktion ermöglicht, zu genießen. Danke, dass Sie Ihr Projekt mit uns teilen! 👍👍👍👍
@28:00 I have learned that when making butt connections like this to fit inside frame rails its better space your connections in different locations. Make the 2nd connection an inch away from the 1st and the 3rd the same distance from the 2nd. Just don't let them overlap. This way you keep the diameter of the harness as small as possible. 3 connections in the same place makes it bigger and harder to pull though the opening. Great video!
Good tip, this also probably makes the area less stiff and less likely multiple solder joints will break at once. Hopefully I'll remember this one next time
Respect. People like you should be role models to follow and learn from. I hope you will always do great in your professional life. Companies should be fighting to hire someone like you to improve their products. It would be great to see your content shared on LinkedIn too. It would really help to spread the word about how cargo bikes are a great replacement for cars in urban areas. As you mentioned in another video, you are fed up with the idea that cars are the default in everyone's life. I'm actively advocating for all of that on LinkedIn but words coming from doers like you would make much more sense!
Well done, she's a beauty. Obviously she's tuff and does well when things get rough. Watching the whole video and seeing how capable the bike is during the montage left me wanting one for myself. Well done sir.
I didn't invent this type of bike, this is just my take on it. If you google cargo-bike you'll find there's hundreds of models similar to this available (some with similar features like full suspension)
I've just found out about this channel and I can say that having less than 215k subs at the moment is a crime. I'm very impressed by the various building skills and also filming/editing. Became an instant fan. Kudos from Brazil.
Phil, Schoenes Tag! Having started working at an ebike shop in the last year and getting to know the industry, I have to say that your attention to precision and deep thought in all aspects puts the efforts of large ebike giants to shame. Your videos align very closely in subject matter to the content of my hopes and dreams and I hope to one day have access to a shop where I can build this bike (after having purchased your plans, of course). Keep on truckin'
I have no need at all for a cargobike but would love to own this because I appreciate the skill that went into designing and making it. Thanks for sharing the process with us!
Re: Routing wires inside of tubing. I use either compressed air to blow string/ yarn through or a shop vacuum to pull it through. Super cool bike build. I have learned a lot.
Questions for followup - What's the maximum weight you feel comfortable riding with, and how does a loaded ride compare to an empty ride? How's the stopping distance (loaded and unloaded) compared to a regular bike? What's in the cloth storage bag below the battery? (great idea btw)
Wow, a very impressive bike and the amount of time and patience put into this cargo bike. Thank you for sharing your passion and amazing skills. It really opened my eyes to another level of what I could possibility make in future. I've slowing building up resources and making stuff that few people have done from making dual purpose drum sanding machine, custom made a CNC machine to installing a 2014 modern engine 1KD into old 1988 BJ74 Landcruiser and passing inspection on first assessment and I'm no mechanic so I watch people and researched a lot especially the electrical wiring systems so could eliminate a lot of modern features like ABS, Airbag, immoblisers etc that 1988 didn't have. Researching is the key and its people like you and many other u-tubers that inspires people to do things they never imagine they would be doing. So thank you so much for sharing your passions
Very nice build and a great looking result. Personally I would have used 3D printing even in some places where you used machining or purchased parts but I am a bit of a 3D printing enthusiast. What I mean is for example the plug that covers the end of the tube with wires inside, holders for bowden cables or out of TPU the gromets for passing cables through tube walls. I currently mostly ride a recumbent bike I built long before I had a 3D printer but now it has 3D printed holders for mirror, speedometer, smartphone and rear fender, also some bowden cable covers that make sure large cargo bags do not press onto them. Recently I printed a large weirdly shaped box for tools and spare inner tubes under the seat. Even the latches on that are printed, just few screws and printed parts. I keep finding it surprising how many things can actually work printed rather than just using the printer for templates and shape verifying prototypes of parts. Some parts you would have to make bulky and heavy to make them strong enough but for many parts it just works.
This is so insanely cool! Must be such a rush to be able to apply your skills to something as practical and rad as this that you then get to use everday. Nice Montana sticker, by the way 🎨
I bought a normal electric bike with a a380 hub wheel in the back and it weighs about 34kg i think.. so i think this is verry nicely done so much detail.. it would be nice too have that instead my normal bike great build!!!
GORGEOUS. Beautiful build. I'd love to attempt a project like this myself. I'd innovate on 2x small front tires for shortness/trike, comfort seat, and perhaps try for a belt driven, internal geared system. The thought is very exciting!
Wonderful work. For the wires and steering tube, might consider a plastic sleeve that you can install loose and grease. It will distribute the bent wires load into a larger surface area, decrease wear. Just a thought. It might be too difficult considering how you've assembled the steerer. Either way, very fun video. I learned a few things myself.
Not a bad idea, although I'm happy to report that after using this bike for almost two years, I haven't had any issues with the cables (although I haven't checked what they look like in a while). If I built another iteration of this, I'd probably still try solving it differently although I'm not sure how. Having the cables in that tube works, but those combined with the cable steering makes this bike a bit of a maintenance nightmare as soon as you have to service anything in that area, as it's very finnicky and time consuming to remove/install the long steerer. Ideally the cables would run in their own seperate tube or something.
I love riding bikes but never felt the need for a big and heavy cargo-bike. But this one is a dream of a bike. I'd love to build this on my own. Unfortunately, my little machineshop needs some upgrades first😅
13:30 pro tip: you can also superglue all the parts together and do the sanding for all at once. Leaves only the chamfers to make on each one :-) Great build, Phil!
The attention to every tiny detail, and the expertise is sick. The result is very impressive, I honestly envy you for these skills. Very cool bike, enjoy!

Amazing work. Sadly, I live in country that is for all intents and purposes bicycle phobic so there isn't a lot of places here where they would be practical. However, I am seriously impressed by the amount of time spent thinking through the engineering challenges of building a functional cargo bike with full suspension. The bike also looks to be much better assembled than something other companies have done.
Yeah I realize these really only make sense in cities. But especially with the assist, if you live in a dense city this is a game changer. You can get everywhere quickly and comfortably and still take a ton of stuff with you. For me it's the ultimate urban vehicle, but I see why it wouldn't work in many places in the US
You did all of this just to say "nipple", which I am fine with. Jokes aside, I grew up around boats. One boat had a steering mechanism exactly like this, and it was only problematic if the sheathing of the cable tubes failed or the ends weren't anchored firmly. Another cable steering setup used a flange on steering wheel shaft to move a thick cable with a pushrod at the boat outboard motor hinge. It had a little spongey feel in the direction the cable was pulling, due to cable stretch. But it was more reliable. I imagine cables themselves have different properties that could address the different anomalies. Your redundant set-up is impressive and well thought out.
I would want some hard stops in the end of the steering cables. Just a bit of insurance to retain some steering if the screws loosen. It’s a beautiful bike!
Quality build ! I can carry around 40 -50 pounds on the back of my electric recumbent that I made, but Im wondering if I should also have a cargo bike if I need to carry more weight ? I really like your design 👍 one suggestion, I highly recommend conversion to a fat bike wheel with integrated motor. A wide tire is more stable and you can find them in a 16 or 17 inch size so you can use a hevy duty dot approved moped tire 😊 be careful cuz the bicycle 16" is not the same as a motor cycle moped size rim tire 🛞 also you can get the wheel motor that uses the three bolt brake pattern for greatly improved brakes wich you need bad because you will be hauling weight and the braking up front with the small dia wheel is greatly limited. Sweet kick stand !
c'mon Phil... I just finished my Cargobike wich was roughy inspired by your last build. and now you came along with this super neat bike. my wife will kill me when I start a new bike project..haha
Hello again. I commented yesterday that I noticed in the background on radio or tv someone say 'The Iron Man' at 8:00 - and that this was kind of fitting for a metalworker. By the time I got to the end of the video I felt this was too trivial a comment to post considering the fantastic bike you made and all the time, effort, accumulated skill, and research that went into it. So I deleted my comment! And then, when I left the page I found you'd very kindly replied to it that yes, you'd noticed it whilst editing (part of some podcast) and decided to leave it in. Thank you for taking the time to reply and thanks for such an extensive build video, like your other videos I will surely watch it again it was so well produced. What a fantastic vehicle you've created, it looks like an absolute joy to ride!
Amazing build truly!! Amazing clean design, just beautiful! Maybe rear sus needs to be a bit beefier for more off road fun but for urban commuting and light off road this bike beats everything in the market
One of the cooles projects I've ever seen on youtube and to put it in your words "I've seen more than I like to admit". Hope to see you ride by some day! Cheers
This is the most premium cargobike I have ever seen.
Ticks all the boxes. I really want one.
indeed. It's like the Load from R&M but for cool peoples.

Amazing build truly!! Amazing clean design, just beautiful! Maybe rear sus needs to be a bit beefier for more off road fun but for urban commuting and light off road this bike beats everything in the market
That's a super light cargo bike. Nice job.
I could only indicate one thumbs-up, but I meant two!
Superb, superb engineering and execution!
One of the cooles projects I've ever seen on youtube and to put it in your words "I've seen more than I like to admit". Hope to see you ride by some day! Cheers
So cool, congrats on the project of the year here on UA-cam. Thanks for the opportunity to join the fun. Keep up the great work.
This makes me want to move to a more bike centric city and build one of my own!
Watching this was an eye candy. Very satisfying machining even without CNC, also that stand clamp, sheesh! Omnium Bikes maybe taking notes.
Nothing short of excellent.
Damn! This is solid work and craftmanship! The bike looks sweeet!
By far the coolest bike Ihave ever seen!
