A regular bike is good, and a cargo bike is even better. Having made a small upgrade, you can not only ride for pleasure, but also transport various cargoes: bags of food, boxes of water or beer, bags of cement. Especially such a bike will be useful to postmen, because you do not have to carry kilograms of newspapers and letters on your shoulder.
How to make a cargo bike
All that is needed is to change the standard front wheel to a small one, which can be removed from any cargo trolley or other small-sized transport. You will also need to slightly modify the wheel mounting system. However, this is done very simply.
Using a stud, a pair of M12 washers and nuts, you need to connect the small wheel to the front fork of your bike, after removing the usual wheel. Then the fork needs to be cut approximately in half - insert segments of a thick-walled steel pipe of smaller diameter into the lower part and connect them to the upper part. Thus, you can "increase" the bicycle fork to the height you need.
Cargo platform installation
After that, all joints are welded together. At the final stage of work, you just have to fix the loading platform in front of the bicycle. To do this, you can use the frame from the same cargo trolley with which a small wheel was borrowed, or make such a design yourself.
You can see the detailed process of manufacturing the fastening for a cargo bike and a working platform in the video on our website.
