Cargo Bikes

Here you go! No dynamo, running the lamps directly from the Bafang mid-drive. Can turn them on and off on the display, really clean and handy! Rear wheel is a Alfine 8 speed, front just a normal wheel with discbrake.
All cables are running from the motor thru the tube and out underneath the cargo area. Then I routed the brakehoses so that they run up thru the handlebar tube. Super clean!

Look for "Dibond" which is a very durable aluminium/plastic sandwich board that you can easily cut with tools for wood.

My Yuba spicy curry works great for me at 6'1 and wife at 5'3 with nothing more than a QR seatpost adjust. I thought the tern gsd felt way too short in reach, even with the adjustable stem thing. Upright bikes are very forgiving for sizing.

I used 6mm thick HDPE sheet, worked a treat:

Thanks for the tips!

..anytime!

so good!

Looks really good! The bit I struggled with when I first started riding a Bullitt was just getting going. Once you're up and running it's plain sailing. It's all about confidence and committing to a couple of big pushes to get going.

Happy Christmas.

I have hit a dead end; tell me what i have done wrong here? Also @lowbrows

The bolt head limits me to put a nyloc nut, same of i flip the bolt and nyloc is on the other side.

re infant seat

Baby here yet? You'll have a month or two to work out the seat situation. Theres no good way to do it. I have a bullit and a toddler at the time I decided to make a seat for the infant so both kids had to fit in the box. Therefore couldn't just toss the car seat in the cargo box. took up too much space.

I got one of these. They are made out of the same foam helmets are made from.

the "mounting kits" are a joke so I made my own. I bought two 1/4 inch thick aluminum strips and bent them to the contour of the back of the seat. I fixed them to the seat with continuous adhesive velcro pads. At the top near the head I bent then aluminum strips downward to create two tabs to rest over the edge go the cargo box. Then under the butt of the seat I drilled a hole in each of the aluminum strips and fixed a 8 inch long 2x4 to them with counter sunk bolts. in the middle of the 2x4 I put a large bolt with a wing nut. I drilled a hole in the floor of the cargo box towards one side of the box.

To mount the seat I hook the tabs near the head of the child over the front edge of the box (child's faces backwards) and then insert the center bolt through the hole in the floor of the box. spin the wing-nut on
beneath the cargo box and good to go.

worked flawlessly for 15 months or so until he was sitting up right with enough strength for the bike.

It was the best, quickest most versatile system I've seen by a long shot.

That 90 angle piece is on wrong way about. The bolt threads from outside /from the cockpit side into the threaded part of that black alloy 90. Bolt length you might have to play with washers on the outside so that the bolt finish at full torque with no threads sticking out end. When they are new they are a doddle to fit, but once folk have had them on and off a few times and mixed the bolt up it becomes a right head scratch.

I can't remember by heart, but as @BrickMan said, I think the 90° angle part should be rotated the other way around.

that makes a lot of sense, thanks both! What about the bolts on the top? Just bolt or not and bolts? The interface on the seat is threaded.

Bolt should slide through 90 and thread into seat.
Once together you can take these in and out within a few minutes, same for bbx boards and even the canopy if you get familiar with it. System seems faffy to begin with as imagine all the bolts are mixed up,but once organised works nice.
If you have a canopy Reccomend spraying it in a dwr with some uv stability, if left outside for a few years it will go grey and crispy if you don't. The windows are generally good, they can fail with a lot of use and kids being kids, easy to repair, take to a tent repair seemstress (seemperson?).

excellent tips!

seat install status = successful

fiddly with canopy for sure

(although that front mudguard doesn't seem quite right...)

Looks like a front fender put on backwards with the flaps switched.

Edit nope, definitely backward.

I’m confused by your answer.
Are you agreeing with me?

They address it in the video and say it is to protect the light but I'm not convinced...

I am confused how the cable steering lowers the center of gravity?
