How to Build a Bicycle & Hiking Trailer with Bamboo
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- In this video, I show you how you can build your own bicycle and hiking trailer with bamboo. It's a step by step guide to making connections and joints with bamboo. You can also use this type of connection for other builds such as bicycles or other bamboo structures.
Parts used for this build:
- Burley Hitch www.amazon.com...
- Swivel Tube Clamp (from local hardware dealer ø40mm)
- 16'' wheels www.wandamigo.... (or similar)
- Quick release axles (matching the wheel's hub)
- Aluminium tube (matching the quick release axels diameter)
- Female rod end www.amazon.com...
- Threaded rod (matching thread of female rod end)

Absolutely top-notch brilliant, wonderfully creative and fine attention-to-detail craftsmanship. Great reveal about about bamboo's remarkable durability and innovative potential. I love your solution-oriented imagination and resourcefulness. Love KUDUS!
Thank you for the nice comment starmanskye. Great to hear that you liked the project.
@@BooTec Love it ! Very professional done ! Thanks for sharing. It is difficult to get the bamboo materials in Los Angeles, California, USA. Thanking about a build of a recumbent trike. LOL
You should market kits Great work. Bamboo is not easily found in some areas. NW.
Thanks for posting this. I made one based on this video. I bought a secondhand trailer and cut off the axle and used the wheels (£40). I used cotton cloth strips and epoxy to wrap the joints. Couldn't find the connectors you used so made something myself. It's done a 160mile test so all looks good. Cheers
Wow. That is a great given that the mass produced hiking trailers cost like 400 dollars, even more if it has more options.
Thanks. After seeing this, I made one to carry my baritone saxophone. Three years later, I use it every week. I couldn't find a source here in Canada for those locking angle clamps - but salvaged a big nylon one from a car's bike carrier.🎷
I grow bamboo and make musical instruments out of the material. This is a wonderful video, and a great idea. Perhaps you purchased your bamboo from a purveyor who had already processed the bamboo with organic salts, and so forth, so that the bamboo will not be destroyed by mold. But you might want to mention to your viewers that the bamboo needs to be clean absolutely on the inside: Generally, two formulas are used: the boric acid/borax in a 1:1.5 ratio and the boric acid/borax/sodium dichromate in a 2:2:0.5 ratio, equivalent to 4-5% concentration, and is preferred for indoor applications.
I would kill for a full step by step guide!
The combination of traditional and modern craftsmanship is amazing! Love your creativity so much...Thank you!
Wow, I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.
Excellent tutorial. I love bamboo. The joinery is first class. The overall look with a mix of traditional and modern components is very handsome and intriguing.
Your Craftmanship Is Outstanding!
Nice design. With the frame being made of the short bamboo sections plus joins, seems like it would be much easier to repair than a metal, welded frame.
Imagine re-enforcing the insides of your right angle joints after they are epoxied together
Possibly drill a fill hole on one and an overflow hole on the other
Then clamp the joint in a vise with the point of the joint down and the holes above so they are accessible for filling the hollow inside of the joint
Use another epoxy that has a more fluid flowable texture until it fills the joint and flows out the other overflow hole
Then there will be an internal one piece of hard epoxy glued to the insides creating a permanent one piece right angle plug
I like Your use of Bamboo
Nice design and build ! I was impressed at how nice your miteed joints came out after. Sanding The carbo Fiber einforcement is also a nice looking contrast as well I was a avid hiker for many years and your set up looks like a great idea unfortunately for me a Traumatic Brain injury. In my fourties caused some physical paralysis and many of my Physical activities. Have been changed due to needing special equipment to walk now but one never knows what the future may bring especially that in the medical feild they are inventing so much so quickly BTW i was a big bike rider as well but the Brain injury has also compromised my balance as well and at the moment i am only riding Stationary bikes for safety
Hi Craig, thanks for commenting. Sorry to hear about your injury but keep up the good spirit. I wish you all the best for the future.
this is frickin' awesome. i wanted to build something similar but all other videos require welding. this is perfect for my needs and the double bike/hike functionality makes it a must, thanks!
muito capricho envolvido ❤️
This is amazing example of great hand made job - beatiful.
Great idea, very instructive video. I built myself two hiking carts of aluminium and platematerial, but this look better and much lighter in weight.
An eye opener. Thank you.
You should thank Burley for this.
This is the best thing I have seen in ages. And a very tidy instructional how-to video. Inspiring all round. ♥♥♥♥
wow !! marvelous, thanks for all this. If only I found your video before...i'm leaving in a trek in 5 days, I still don't have the materials, and my bamboos are green lol....I just hope it will not explose during walking lol.
Next time i'll use your technique, thanks
Hi! Many thanks for sharing this high quality DIY. I did not notice wether you pointed out the maximum weight this trailer can bear? Cheers again from France!
Thank you sprdr,
It was loaded with up to about 35kg when hiking but the frame could easily take twice that load. The wheels are rated for 60kg each.
Really great video! Thank u for the info. I've watched several and NO ONE is using A) bamboo. (I LOVE BAMBOO..not only for all the reasons you mentioned ..that's its very durable, lightweight) but also, never have i seen bug problems with it, but major plus is that bamboo grows like wild fire. It's the fastest live growing structural material there is. Replanting? It's growing ALL the time. It is therefore very available but because it has to be shipped if you're building a house with it (yes, I've seen at least 2 massive homes made of it), it's VERY expensive. Small quantites...quite affordable! :)
Excellent. Functional and beautiful.
Great thinking. Engineering, modularity and sustainability wise, top notch!
i clicked becouse i thought it was pvc pipe. still cool design. pvc is more readily available where i live.🍻
te felicito, definitivamente un espectacular trabajo con materiales nobles y simples, ahora con mas razon me voy a inclinar en el uso del bambu para el proximo remolque que hare, gracias por tan excelentes ideas
Wonderfull craftmanship. Nice project.
Excelente proyecto, saludos desde BOLIVIA!!!
Make a video about your bamboo bike :-)
There are more bamboo projects in the pipeline :)
If you could make a folding bike, and with the right pack, you could strap the bike to the trailer when hiking over the terrain is best, and when you need to go into places you don't want to leave yout stuff outside, you cand cary the pack with the trailer and the folded bike on it as a back pack...
Absolutely interesting and enjoyable video. Nice build and very admirable results. Thanks for posting the video. Now if i can just locate all the Burley parts for the trailer hitch setup.
Excellent video! I've been researching trailers as an alternative to panniers for touring. This might just be the correct trailer as winter is upon us.
This is really neat, if you want this specific type of build. Otherwise the cost of materials and adapters needed to make this probably cost as much buying a Burley Travoy.
This is bloomin’ BRILLIANT! Thank you 👍🏼
How much did it cost to build?
Nice video, greetings from Bolivia.. 🇧🇴
very nice and very informative. thank you.
brilliant. thanks for this video. i've been looking at the similar production trailer from burley (the "travoy"). the use of carbon fiber is very innovative (or, more likely, i'm not just attuned to this material's uses in non-production settings).
Absolutely brilliant
Love this trailer, but maybe you need a plate or bamboo as a bag protector against rubbing upon the wheels....
Thank you for this. I will try it.
Inspiring video, many thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences using these materials.
Thank you for sharing.
how did you attach the threaded rod to the bamboo end for the hitch?
, finally: someone with a natural original "fix" that leaves all the 400+USD carriers out! gonna try make one single track... 16 or 20"" epoxy some alu parts in the bamboo for suspension...., but first: cut and cure own bamboo!, makes it that more funnier ( and also time to measure out.... BOB Ibex VS bamboo!! ) thnx ;)
Thanks for sharing
Subscribed.
Excellent narration.
hi, excellent video. Can you talk or do a video about the linkage joints please?Do you have any videos?
Gonna try this with fiber fix instead of carbon
TOP!!!
Thank you
Thank you!
Amazing job men
thanks for that, it's a perfect tutorial
Impressed!
Clever stuff.
I am recently looking at various types of bike cargo trailer in the market and I chanced upon this youtube video. I am really amazed and impressed that you made a bamboo trailer. I wonder if you can produce it for sale. I am interested. Thks
If you do Taobao, look out for L. Blanta 布兰塔 Big Wheel Cart without the steel case and Tote bag. I am trying to modify or add-on it for hiking purpose.
@@clementihammock7572 Thank you so much for your response. Appreciate it so much. Rgds.
I wish I could purchase this bamboo trailer from you. I'll be going to a 1000km hike with an injured shoulder.
Amazing 😉
Very interesting! Tank you very much
Outstanding ...
i would like to know where you got the aluminum toothed connectors and how you mounted and secured them tot the bamboo.
You should sell these
I love it mate, beautiful
Sweet!!
Material cost information would be interesting.
Hi BooTech! Amazing project! Any where do you get your bamboo from? Can you recommend an international supplier?
Thanks Alon! I've started to bring home bamboo when I travel to places where it naturally grows :)
I've also purchased from a local dealer but unfortunately don't know of any international ones where you could buy small quantities. Good luck with your project!
Awesome DIY. Thanks
Super gemacht!
Me encanta 😊
Subbed awesome stuff
Unable to find Swivel Tube Clamp.
?Other name for this?
That is amazing. I'm subscribing to Your channel.
Great build. Have you worked with basalt roving?
WOW!!! ❤️😉👍
How much weight did you load on it P.S great vid many thanks
Hello, I can't find those aluminium swivel tube clamps anywhere - and what is the carbon fibre exactly, I searched for 16000 tex robing carbon fibre but couldn't find anything; trying to cost this up! Thank you!
Where did you get the bamboo and tex from? This was an excellent video and I have been researching for months how to make my own trailer when I came across your video. For interest sake how strong is Bamboo and how much weight can it carry? At this time I presently am self employed and would like to make trailer so I can use it for recycling. Thanks and looking forward to hearing from you soon. What was the length of the tex used for your trailer? Where's the link that you spoke about in your video?
Bamboo, Gardens, in Oregon, USA there’s a great purveyor of bamboo
I think that you might be in trouble if Burley sees this video. Copyright law etc. You have even used a burley hitch so you cannot argue that it was your own design.
すごい！
Hello
Do you have a like for the aluminium conectores.
thanks
I want to buy it Where please
Hi! Can you please tell me what size is the female rod end bearing?
You didn't need/want a handbrake for downhill descents???
Hi I wish I couldn't buy one from you? What do you say? How much would you ask for that? I would
👍🏼 🌹
I really enjoyed your video it was really well done. In fact, it has inspired me to build a hiking trailer to haul my twin two-year-old boys using your techniques. I have sourced everything except the, "Swivel Tube Clamp (from local hardware dealer ø40mm)". I have spent hours looking for these online and have been unsuccessful. Do you have a source where I can order these? What are they used for? BTW... Please don't mock me for the questions, I feel like I should know what these are, but don't. LOL! Thank you!
Where do I find the "Description below" . Newbie here. I'm using the android app thanks
請問有更詳細的DIY 影片嗎？
My husband used these plans from Stodoys and he is very pleased.
I just found your channel I'm pinoy you should buy a bamboo bike here in the phillippines
Use bamboo bike bambike

Your part selections suck and the wheel is too expensive.
So much hand work. Not worth it. Anyway thanks for the video.
That is amazing. I'm subscribing to Your channel.
