leave the bike with the gears and make it a trailer solves the turning radius and the gearing and you can set it up unhook and go. just make a bolt on hitch for people who already have a bike

the only thing I'm thinking is I've seen videos involving cardboard, and especially the strength of cardboard getting wet (like I've seen people make a big house out of only cardboard, and a dome made out of only carboard panels and cardboard fasteners, but as soon as they get wet (albeit with a fair amount of water) they become incapable of supporting the weight of a cardboard structure (which isn't heavy to begin with) so if somehow the cardboard got wet, there would be a concern that the structure will fail it has it's drawbacks (added weight) but a potential thought is a wooden infrastructure to support the cardboard shell. It doesn't need to be made of 2 by 4s, something smaller in dimensions would be fine, it's only to support cardboard of all things also I read another comment that mentioned more vents, and I think that's a good idea (at least for the summer weather), although adds more work to the project

I would suggest making it about 10 inches taller, 8 inches wider, and 8 inches longer... I would put 4 computer hard drive fans (2 in top & 2 in bottom)... Screen in the portholes... Either pvc or thin wood slats for structure... Outer lights and/or reflectors to be seen at night on the road... If possible, make the whole thing out of foam board like the door to help keep it better insulated for winter... 6 inches of storage space under the floor for food and clothes... I also would tweak the gear ratio to move faster with less pedaling... A few more shelves or some small cabinets... Some lockout brakes for over night would be good... As far as your cup holder idea, I think that would be good as well... A small light weight drop down table would be a good idea as well... I would put this idea out there to get funding to help cover your building cost...

I'm early in the video, but I'm kind of wondering if a detachable bike + bike trailer with the cardboard shelter might be a preferred design If a person is living somewhere , it probably gets filled with stuff, which makes it heavier I'm guessing the sponsored item adds weight for example, and you only really need that item to be always with the shelter with a detachable bike, and if someone is working somewhere, or getting groceries or something, then they would 1. look like a normal person on a bicycle 2. have the speed of a regular bicycle, and they could have a backpack to carry groceries, or other things attached to the bike to hold stuff it just seems to give more flexibility, also removes the need for a long chain connecting to the back axle, but does at a minimum add an extra wheel (the bike requiring 2 wheels)

the other thing is, in the above scenario presumably the shelter wouldn't move as much, and would get less wear and tear but the bicycle might break, and by having it be a detachable bike and bike trailer I can believe sometimes a person might find a bike being thrown out (like I believe you said you did at the start of the video) which gives flexibility of replacing the original bike if something gets damaged on daily commutes, or both wheels and your seat get stolen from your bike, or your whole bike gets stolen then either buying a used bike, finding a used bike being given away, or even buying a new bike could potentially all be attached to the bike trailer edit: above scenario not "avoid scenario"

Nice project, makes me think of how much some authorities waste on things like temporary/transitional tiny homes for the destitute/homeless people, they should not cost multiple tens of thousands per unit, bloated regulations, beaurocracy and avarice don't help.

Kevin, talk to a plumber, and ask for water heater boxes. They are BIG. When you go from a large gear to a small gear, you increase your speed and decrease your torque.

As far as the stove rocks, I have seen sauna stoves with chicken wire over the top of the rocks. It could be to prevent rocks exploding. Never use red rocks. I have had rocks explode in my wood stove and the red ones were lava!

If you want to do things like this in the future, go to a furniture store that sells a lot of recliners. The recliner boxes are generally double or triple walled and are about 42"×42"×42".

Hi Kevin, Another awesome project. I know you wanted the build to be free, but I think you could add some break lights. They make auto sensing led ones. And a slow moving vehicle sign. It’s an orange triangle here in the United States. Not sure what’s required in Canada. Also, a headlight. Other than that, I think the build is awesome. The liquid rubber seems like a great product. Can’t wait to see what improvements you make. Thanks again for the inspirational content. Can’t wait to see what you do next. Take care.

I can see thumb tacks being helpful in this application also a roll of reflexive foam roll would change the inside aesthetics and insulate at the same time. Pop bottles make a nice corrugated roof that provides light.

Okay Kevin this is a great idea. It's a great idea. I think the front the duck bill should be higher so you can more comfortably ride I think you should have a little bit of an overhang in the back to keep the water from coming inside. And I think you need a basket in the front for carrying their there fast foods in probably mirrors on the handlebars so they can see traffic better I don't know what it's like in Canada but you may have to have some sort of Lighting systems or reflectors. The one guy mentioned handicap. Wonder if you could design one to be pushed from the front, sort of like a walker
