    got that right, man! it's pretty hard to find a worse welder than me. i'd be starving if i had to survive on this for a living!

    Nice demo - thank you - good to see you having a bash with the welding. May I ask if you actually used bearings on the pivot tube.? I am considering building a modular trike myself. I think they are brilliant. I daresay people like myself have gleaned a great deal from observing your build. Very generous !

    Thumbs up to you and your kids. I think that considering what you have to work with, you seem to find a way to make it work, I admire that, not everyone has the money or the top of the line tools to get the job done, so us do it yourselfers make things work the best way we can, it may brake, but we fix it, or engineer it better. I also have sent many bicycles and parts to Africa and am happy to see bicycles in use. Keep up the good work.

    With that steering pivot, all you had to do was to brace it in three directions, from the lowest point to the bottom of cargo box. The bracing would be two side bracings and one front bracing, that would have held that pivot . You used a an unbraced Colum effect which pits a lot of lad on the base but if a column is braced as a high communication mast normally is then that would have held at any load. The braces would be able to take compression and tension so they would be pipes. and no need to weld them just crew them in. at about 45 degrees will do. .

    Make it easier for them, I can see six rear gears, make them operational, it's easy. I would also try to find crank arm with three speeds. That bike could go pretty much everywhere you want it to go. But nice job, I'm gathering ideas for something like this.

    Two thumbs up for building something useful from scrap. Well done, considering what you had available to work with. I think the cargo platform might be more useful as a trailer that attaches to the seat base tube on a "normal" bicycle with a goose-neck type hitch.

    All my respect for the hard work. i think you should have put the tire closer to the steering bars I think there is too much weight on the center and nothing there to reinforce it.

    How did the final mod hold up? how about switching the head tube pivot for a car wheel hub set up? I've seen it done on swing away rear tire holders, held up even with the weight. Also great to see bikes being put to use, I worked with a collective in Chicago and we used to send containers full out to africa. looks like awesome fun!

    My inspiration for this bike was the Christiania style bikes that you see roaming around Copenhagen - they have two wheels in the front that swivel. I also might add a rear cargo rack to increase the capacity.

    Specially with the older cargo bikes the bottom side of the steering pin has a support strip to the sides of the loading area. The joint has to take the big lever force between the passenger and the cargo.

    Given how old this is, my comment is for other viewers..Welding on hardened steel like bearing races doesn't work, it cracks. What I did was use the entire forks of a bike and weld the forks to the metal, not just the pivot. hope that makes sense.

    There's a problem. The contact point between the cargo and bicycle body should be flat enough to tolerate weight and steering so you have to make a flat ball bearing base ..the is the only solution to avoid breaking of welding at contact point .

    Much easier to just make a side-car. No mods to the bike, just place the 3rd tire in the correct spot. No added weight to the steering. Add a pillion seat and a single pannier (saddle-bag)

    No offence but you need to learn how to weld because well first off your not holding a beed that tacking won't hold very good second stick arc thats only for heavy metal you need. Like a flux core mig it would be alot better and you can do alot more with it.. But good vid i dont want to sound mean just try to get a better welder

    Derek Graham Thanks for the advice. I've actually improved quite a bit since then. It is tempting to use a flux core (in fact if you send me one I'll use it!), but stick welding is king here in africa and I'm wanting to see developmental change (like folks making bikes like this to use as a small business, etc) from the inside and hence need to work with what they have.
