this spare wheel on the back is just chef's kiss 👌
Just saw you today in Sendung mit der Maus. Nobody in the family understood when I started to shout "That's Laura, that's Laura" at first 😆 The kids loved it, thanks for your engagement.
Awesome! Thanks!
We are happy everytime when Laura appears in Sendung mit der Maus. And it's always kinda disturbing (in a good way) when she talks German haha
This idea seems like it's borrowing the axis and wheels from the bathtub boat project today cause this only kinda worked :D
edit: ha, the bathtub boat is even mentioned. Will the bike trailer be part of a future video then?
In my family the kids and I were shouting "Laura, yay!". 'Die Sendung mit der Maus' and Lauras Videos are weekly rituals to us.
Als sie die beiden Hälften das erste Mal aufgemacht hat 👍 Nicht nur die Sendung mit der Maus, sondern auch die Mupfel vom Urmel
Wow! Glad to know that kids program is still on :) I loved to watch that in the 70's (Dutch version)
Ich feier es so dass du bei der Maus dabei bist. Frau, queer, Handwerk, die ein „Ich probier das jetzt einfach und trau mich, vielleicht klappt’s auch nicht. Nicht schlimm. “ vermittelt. Hammer. Beste Message für ALLE die es sehen. Danke dir! 💪🌈
Yep, that's officially the coolest thing I've seen.
It's a 'wheely' good idea. I might barrow it sometime.
*Ahhh, der Schubkarrekampfwagen.*
lmao
Hi Laura Thank you for all your amazing videos , My Son and I regularly watch your new Videos and you inspire us to go and make Projects of our own . My Son is 10 years old and is a great fan of your work . We spend hours in my home workshop coming up with amazing projects and he can sit for hours watching all of your Videos . His dream as young as he is, is to become an industrial designer- maker and always asks me to check when there are new videos uploaded by you . thank you for inspiring us and for showing that anything is possible . a big Hello from us in Cape Town South Africa
A wheelbarrow sidecar would look pretty good too
"Let Glue Dry " ! ! !
I WANT that T Shirt ! ! !
AWESOME!
Great idea, great execution!
I only add two points:
1. A lock in opening side to avoid unexpectd open due to bumps in road.
2. Small hole in upper side near the edge to drain water fron the rounded finish. Water can accumulate here.
That Jeep style spare wheel is too cute to be true!!! Love premier and live chats :))
came here to point that tire out, brilliant!
your ability to see projects like this in items like old wheelbarrows is awesome!!
this is the kind of content i come to youtube for. thanks!
Came here from the Unilad video, would rather watch this on your youtube channel so you actually get the monetisation.
Looks so tidy, well done!
Excellent build! I had a flatbed bicycle trailer in 6th grade my stepdad made out of old bikes, used a front fork attached via the rear axle nuts and almost the same bolt hitch you use. Word of advice, always carry extra hitch bolts, used to snap one in half about every 2 weeks
Awesome!
Some unsolicited upgrade/build ideas:
1. Less holes, more foam tape. Maybe it rains less there but everything that can leak for me seems to always.
2. Fiberglass wheelbarrow lid and/or bottom for less weight on a pedal bike or smaller ebike (these were recycled so whateva)
3. Solar panels yo! Charge while ya chill.
4. You can get some big fence hinges and wrap them around the outside of the lip, tack them where the hinge is between, hammer the edges down and weld/bolt the strap flat. Would get you a flat perimeter for a gasket, or avoid needing to notch the tub if you can't handle the full glory of the angle grinder.
5. Craigslist/online ads are full of cheap trailer axle things if planning on using on a real motorbike that can go fast. For a pedal bike I'd use bike-style wheels for the lower drag. You don't need the traction of a fatter wheel on a trailer, just consider weight and side-loading.
6. Double nut that spare tire bolt, so you can remove the spare without opening a hole in yer boot. Will make it easier to seal too.
7. Lights! My buddy always said he loved the fullness of the illuminated area that the lights he put on his trailer put out, compared to a headlamp on the bike. I always asked him why he had a trailer on a bmx.
8. It's metal, so you could totally make a BBQ trailer. I can only imagine the possibilities for an impromptu chill-n-grill. *requires beer cooler mod for full functionality.
to your brilliant list I would add a latch for the top (eve a bungee) and basic compartments inside the storage.
The solar charger is a great addition suggestion.
@Nobody Noone totally have to second on point one in combination with point four; the lips of the wheelbarrows were already perfect for a gasket seal
1- agreed, water gets everywhere, and without overhangs, this build will leak, but it was definitely a quick and simple build, so will do just fine in relatively dry weather (or just carry water resistant contents).
9- I am concerned with a rubber bushing as a hitch connection. it does not freely pivot left/right when you lean into a turn. or after a few dozen miles just break off. Most bicycle hitches look like universal joints that you see on cars which let it freely pivot left-right and up-down.
You are so close to making a... sidecar!
That's next! Danka, Laura.
The spare tire....awesome.....made me smile and chuckle. Nice job
You inspire me every week. I would love to be able to be a fly on the wall when you get these ideas and follow your thought process before even touching a tool.
There is not much of a process to be honest. I have the idea and then I get started :)
@@laurakampf LOL..as an artist, maker, Creative I TOTALLY get that. I have a good friend that I share ideas with and do business with. Once she shares an idea of hers with me, & I can see it in my minds eye, ideas just start poppin'. That opens me up to see stuff for myself. When we really get that Creative Flow started it can just multiply. Both of us get really amped up with tons of ideas, most of which are useful...lol...
I would love to expand my counceling business to include Makers, Craftspersons, Artists, etc. to help them envision new ideas, shifting existing ideas to work more easily, and even which ideas to let go of because they lack viability.
I AM a Creative, Empath, Intuitive, & a Spiritual Transformation Coach.
I LOVE assisting & supporting folks in emotionally & Spiritually shifting to let go of past 'chains' to embrace new choices which lead to more and more Freedom. It has honestly just occurred to me how freakin' wonder-full it would be to assist Artists, Makers, Bakers, etc. andplll Entrepreneurs in expressing More in a healthy & abundant way.
Yeah!!! New idea.
I love this project so much! It is so adorable and stylish - and that tiny tire...priceless!!!
So true!
This is so cool! It's like living in the 70's
I never thought of using wheelbarrows to make a bike trailer but I'm really glad I found this video
Wie cool ist das denn?! ❤️👍
Das Bike ist auch der Knaller....ich brauche ein Schweißgerät... unbedingt!
Dein Kanal ist eine echte Inspiration! ❤️❤️❤️
Dem kann ich nur zustimmen! Leider habe ich absolut keinen Platz für ein Schweißgerät. Ich brauche wohl eine richtige Werkstatt... :D
Great work Laura! Just need a hasp on the back end to lock the trailer so you don't lose gear going down a rough trail. Cheers from the Great White North!
It needs a lock for the back.
GREAT JOB LAURA! love it
Your Rosie the Riveter welding mask is AWESOME!
This is amazing, who would have thought the curvy design on a wheelbarrow would look so damn modern and cool when you flip it around lol
What a brilliant and fascinating mind you have. How you come up with your inventions is just so cool.
Muito lindo seu trabalho parabéns 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻que Deus aperfeiçoe e te dê novos projetos incríveis e único como este🙏🏻🙌🏼
Love the shape of the two together
Wie cool ist das denn!? Perfekt und dazu noch für unendlich viele Varianten je nach Bedarf geeignet!
Z.b. wasserdicht mit umlaufender Dichtung oder oben den Boden rausgeschnitten und die entstehende Kante geschützt für den Hund, gerne auch mit kleiner Windschutzscheibe....oder gar noch gefedert mit entsprechenden Gummihalterungen etc., etc. Einfach total genial der Anhänger!
Super Idee und handwerklich schön ausgeführt!
As soon as the second wheelbarrow went on top, i loved it! Then you built it and customized it (paint job, spare wheel, etc.) and it became a masterpiece - design + workmanship + utility - it felt so good to just watch it happen. I understand how it must have felt to do it. Much love from Portugal.
P.S.: I might get into the german language because of you. 😊
Laura, I love that you don't care that the tyres clearly say "not for highway use". Smash the system! 🚳
To quote Doc Brown, " Where we're going, we don't need roads."
saucoole Konstruktion.Nie im Leben wär ich da drauf gekommen ne Schubkarre so umzubauen,Daumen hoch.
This is the best channel for watching someone touch things then walk away from them! Cool project!
Great idea! Now you just hafta figure out a water seal. I bet 2 fiberglass ones would last longer and be lighter. Looks great too. Nice.
I love this idea!
You should put bearings on those wheels. They're probably gonna melt as they weren't made for speed
Stylish. Good use of old wheelbarrow. All your stuff has a unique style. A bit 60s, eclectic, down to earth, functional. I love it!
I love the creativity you did on the trailer.
That is so cool Laura, I just bought a new E-bike and was looking at bike trailers,but they are crap and overprices. So now I'll just get 2 wheelbarrows and build what I want to suit my needs.
I bought my trailer from bikes at work about 10 years ago for 600. NOW they are close to a thousand and over a thousand dollars. The owner told me "you are so lucky the year you purchased your trailer from us. At that time our vendor prices were going to start increasing but they put a hold on that." The trailer that I can really use holds up to 600 pounds. But it's over $1,500 with shipping and tax. I'm trying to get creative if I had a shop.
This trailer looks super awesome. A perfect fit for the bike.
I believe it just misses a hook or something else, so it can't open while driving. Maybe something where you can also add a lock, so one can be less worried about ones belongings, when parking it and leaving the trailer alone.
I was thinking the same. A latch and and lock would be a great addition to this project.
Grandios,absolut grandios.
Auf die Idee wäre ich NIE gekommen,ich überlege schon so lange wie ich mir einen Fahrradanhänger bauen könnte.
Sehr schön!
Cooler Auftritt in der Sendung mit der Maus.
In den 80ern und 90ern gab's auf der Wupper noch die Floßfahrt, wo die Opladener mit selbstgebauten Flößen von Wupperhof bis Opladen gefahren sind. Mein Opa wollte da auch mal mit seiner blauen Badewanne teilnehmen, ist aber schon relativ früh gesunken. Hab noch Fotos von seiner "Rettung" durch ein anderes Floß.
Congratulation on contributing to Die Maus, quite an institution. As for bike trailers: fun design for this one, although a bit heavy for a bio-bike. When loading make sure to keep the center of mass in front of the axle to avoid nasty surprises. And the trailer hitch made by "Radical Design" in the Netherlands (for the Cyclone trailer series) is probably very useful for these types of projects, and probably influences the ride of the bike less than your solution (no link because youtube appears to block that).
There's always a critic...
@@denvernow7294 Constructive criticism. And trust me on the center of mass in front of the axle.
@@mrtnsnp complete agree with you on the center of mass being slightly in front of the axle. My comment was referring to your last sentence in your original comment. It came across slightly condescending towards her personal build. I doubt Laura is going to be carrying sheets of drywall or a pallet of bricks with her trailer. Her idea was ingenious to use what she did, and having it come out looking better than any other bike trailer I, and I'm sure most others, have ever seen. Sometimes you just want to make something ultra fun and mega cool without throwing orthodox mechanical engineering in the mix. Let's focus on celebrating her for what she invented instead.
@@denvernow7294 Not intended as such. More a heads-up that this exists, and can be used for your own builds (all parts are sold separately). The rubber coupling Laura used gives a a stiffer coupling, and that may not ride as nicely, or be as easy to decouple. And yes, sometimes it really is just for the fun, but sometimes practicality counts, at least a little.

That was a great project. Thank you for sharing it. A humble suggestion though. A locking mechanism below the spare wheel should be added to prevent the top from bouncing on bumpy or off the track dirt roads. And also for security of items of course. Just a suggestion.
Edit: Also rubber mud guards/flaps, like the ones on the back wheels of bikes, on each side below the 'ventilation slots' (I'm not sure of the correct term) for monsoons or dirt roads.
Good luck with all your future projects.
Don't know about mud flaps, but how about at least putting on those rubber hood clamp things found on jeeps? That would keep the lid from bouncing around. A little lock would be cool, but the lock picking lawyer could break into it no problem anyways......
@@jakefriesenjake That's a good idea.
Just one word: Incredible
Hey Laura, you are a freakin star wish there were more talented ladies like you in the world,!
This is so perfect I love it 😍😄
Hi Jer!
Are you coming back to UA-cam? Your vids were always excellent and I miss seeing new ones.
I remember seeing Die Sendung mit der Maus being mentioned in the days of analogue satellite TV when Germany and the UK shared the same bird at 19degrees east. Loved the video, look forward to seeing more soon. It might help with my German.
Bicycle that killing knees, so beautiful ❤️
Best idea for transformation of wheel burrow. Love your creativity 👍👍👍👍
Why do people give thumbs down even before they can have seen the video?!
sheer excitement !
@@hoschiebaer I'd understand thumbs UP, but not DOWN in that case.
@@MarenB79 We can just assume their hands were shaking from excitement and mis-clicked.
There is an advance on Instagram.
They were impatient and didn't want to wait until the official premiere. 🙂
The bike trailer is ingenious. I love the clamshell look and the spare tire.
Sendung mit der Maus is a lot of fun to watch. I hope you are invited again to work with them.
Yes, there will be more cool stuff coming!
OMG ! A giant mussel ! Nice job Laura ...
That was the coolest trailer I have ever seen if insulated and welded air tight all the way around like a icechest you could put an opening from the top and drive around selling soda's,juices,beers
You are good inspiration for the kids for us. Nice idea and beautiful your smile
WOW, and you were smiling the whole time! :)
I watched another person do this and I this it is just so cool and creative. Definitely enjoyable to watch people make them.
Wonderful wheelbarrow trailer! Fantastic!
This little cart for bikes is so awesome, well done!
🤩❤❤❤👍
Coolest bike trailer I have ever seen!!!!
Brilliant. The wheels look like they are very ' snug ' to the barrow but if it works, why not? Looks stunning and fun.
"Let glue dry" Love it!
Kudos to you for your involvement with a Kinder Show...Well, Skipper Laura, the Suds Tub was a bit tippy on it's Maiden Voyage. Glad to see no TP was used or abused in the building or floating of said vessel... The "Clam Barrow" was a blast to see built and fun to see in action. Thanks much for sharing.. Best to you and yours.
Richttig coole Idee sieht echt Klasse aus meine Ideen für verbersserungen währen Haubendämpfer ein schloss, eine Innennverkleidung( unten ) und vielleicht eine andere kupplung
I just finished watching the bathtub boat video. Great!!!
the shape of that thing - wow!!!
The concept is fabulous.
So good I’m think I’m going to steal you’re idea! Imitation being the most sincere form of flattery
WOW this trailer looks so COOL, good job.
I like the spare tire on the back that was the touch
This is fantastic. If I may make a suggestion; think about adding a mud guard under the neck of the trailer. I believe it will keep the bike and the trailer clean. Perhaps a matching paint job to the bike.
CUTE! and very versatile. Love it.
From Egypt , very well Laura good job, and a woman like the moon.
So Laura is still awesome! Had a giggle when the spare wheel went on.
Just awesome.
What a trailer!!
What a great idea. I wonder how many people saw that and said, "Why didn't I think of that?" Well. you thought of it and did it. Great job. with a couple of simple modifications, this would make a great motorcycle trailer. Change to automotive style wheels and hubs and add some springs and naturally lights.
Extremely creative way to repurpose old used wheel barrows. And looks terrific! Very impress Laura. You've inspired me. I look forward to viewing more of your videos. Thank you!
Your such a huge inspiration to look at things around you for their potential not just what they are
Very clever, I like it. Design is simple and unique. Well done.
That spare tire though!!!!! so cute!!!
What a great shape! And the spare tire is a great touch.
CLASSIC! PERPECT !
Hallo Laura, was für eine fantastische Idee. Du wirst es nicht glauben aber so einen Anhänger hab ich für mein Angelhobby gesucht. Jetzt brauch nur noch 2 alte Schubkarren und Dein Teil wird nachgebaut. Herzlichen Dank dafür und mach so weiter. Viele Grüße Gerry
One of your coolest builds
Another great cool project. Always a pleasure.
Laura you're AMAZING!
This is a great idea, wonderfully executed. Really makes me want to learn to weld again.
That turned out, so cute!
I love the way you upcycle things. very inspirational.
very cool use of the barrow buckets.
As always, legit creations!!! All Love
The trailer is fantastic! Just needs a locking latch to keep it closed. And your children's show build was wonderful. Haven't we all dreamed of having a bathtub boat?
It's so adorable and awesome!!
What a genius idea!
What a great idea. Good Job!
Trailer + passenger :O
Awesome!
So cute! One of my favorites.👍
I think that’s really cool. You could quite easily build a removable insert for pets or small kids.
Great job
Wow I never seen anything like this l Love you job ,my friend, congratulations
Very nice, and it really matches the esthetic of the bike!
This project is really creative. I love it. 👍
