This week I built a foldable sidecar for my bicycle from a broken wheelchair that i found on a junkyard.
The wheelchair was broken and no longer suitable to carry a person but i thought it would be a shame to let that object go to waste.
So i came up with a new purpose for it. A foldable Sidecar.
I challenged myself to design it in a way that basically enybody could build it even if they don´t have a shop full of tools. I only used a drill and an anglegrinder.

Wow Laura. Such innovation. A great solution for any beer lover. You could make your bottle holder large enough to hold the bottle with a stubby cooler on to keep the beer cold and stop the bottle from rattling in transit. 👍

Brilliant, love it, just the answer for my dispersed car camping needs. FYI, the sidecar math probably isn't really relevant for cargo bike speeds. For motorcycles, there are 3 rules. 1. The sidecar wheel axle leads the "pusher" wheel axle, up to 4". 2. The sidecar wheel should "toe-in" 3/4" to an 1 1/4". 3. the bike should lean away from the sidecar, 1" to 1 1/2". The goal is a drive that tracks straight, riding no hands. Wonderfully creative work, presented really well!

@thechumpsbeendumped.7797 5 жыл бұрын

I usually like Laura’s videos but this one is potentially dangerous, at 5:48 you can clearly see how slowly she had to make that turn and how much she was leaning her body. With a design like this when you turn right at anything over 5-10mph you stand a good chance of falling off or having to reduce your steering input because you can’t lean into the turn. If you’re forced to reduce your steering to stay balanced what are you going to hit or what’s going to hit you? If it was done so that it could hinge from 2 or 3 horizontal points along 1 axis it wouldn’t effect the ability to lean into turns at all(subject to the clearance between bike frame and load). Another problem with a rigid connection is that when the third wheel hits a large bump it will transfer that force into the frame, making the rider wobble if not swerve.

@@thechumpsbeendumped.7797 motorcycle outfits work fine, but they accelerate into right turns, using the increased speed of the outside powered wheel to turn the bike. It's a learnt technique and weird to experience. Not sure how it would translate onto the bicycle.

@patomahony9747 Жыл бұрын

@@fr3heart never driven a motorcycle combination. As you say they have been around for years and I have never heard of complaints. Been toying with this idea for a while now. Getting older and legs not great when getting on or off. With this option don’t need to step down at junctions etc. Also looking at trike options. But I’m interested in doing this to an ebike Only rule is to not cut , drill or weld on the actual bike frame. Love the flexible shock absorber idea on the couplings. The 2 seat kiddie trailer I have for my bike has clip off wheels like in this video plus they also have suspensions. I wonder ??? Pondering ?????

There is math for that. But for bike without suspension keeping the bike axle and sidecar axle in line with each other is the rule. You only have to do the math if there is suspension involved. Great video! I love all the bicycle related stuff you do. I only wish there were scrap yards like the ones you visit in Arizona.

Hi Laura, further to my recent comment but in a similar vain. As an ex-cyclist and now wheel chair bound, ever thought of building a hand powered wheelchair bike combo? The wheel chair has been liberating but miss the thrill of cycling, seeing you recycle an old wheelchair has given me hope😊keep up the fab work!
