When the fabric on our old child trailer started to disintegrate, I took off the fabric and the roll bars completely and installed a wood floor right on top of the old base. That made a really good extension to our cargo bike when we gutted and refitted our bathrooms.

I am currently in the process making a bike trailer for my neighborhood car wash business. I bought a cheap old little kid bike trailer (the ones where the parents can have the kid in the trailer and pull them) and stripped it down to the chassis. I am in the process of adding all the wood. It's gonna be really cool and efficient. Awesome idea BTW

@HenryYT9 ай бұрын
Unfortunately for us you are wrong: Our profit margins are not absolutely huge. Sad but true. They are large enough for us to sustain our company in a healthy way so that people can buy spare parts. But believe me, building high-quality bike trailers in small numbers is not your easiest get-rich-quick-sheme. It is always difficult to compare a diy built with our model. Parts may look roughly the same when in fact there`s much more that differentiates them if you dig a little deeper. Our chassis is vastly more sophisticated to manufacturer and thus much more expensive, yet stiffer, stronger and lighter. You wouldn`t compare a high-end bike frame with a simple one just because they look the same? We also use a custom-made stainless steel axle with threaded ends and an custom-made inserted stainless-steel sleeves to hold the wheels. The list goes on and adds up. We do not want to diminish this great diy-project, but we always feel a bit disappointed when people assume we rip-off customers with our small scale workshop production of custom-made trailer components here in Germany. It`s not like we were Chris King, charging 400 bucks for a front hub...

@@hinterher_bike_trailers Hello and thanks for your unexpected and very detailed response. Yes, I can understand as a small business, employing staff and paying them a fair wage building a high quality product which has a very limited market that it can be very difficult. And I appreciate your frustration reading my casual comment without giving you and others like you the appreciation you deserve for the high quality products you make. But which also need to be sold for higher prices to compensate for the quality materials and workmanship involved in making them and to provide a reasonable profit in an expensive developed country. I live in Ireland myself. I left my comment in relation to the video I had just watched and from the point of view of a customer who would always try to get the most return for the least cost. Of course, when I am doing that, like almost everyone else, I give little or no consideration to the story and lives of the people and businesses that may make different products of different qualities and prices. As it happens, I bought a Duramaxx branded cheap trailer from a German website in 2022 which I know is made in China. I am well aware it's quality and durability is not in any way comparable to the quality of your products but for €105 which was a bargain price on the day, it should give me several years of use along with my two other German branded but also Chinese made trailers. There's a great expression I like to use regularly which applies to me a lot. "Never mind the quality, feel the width!" I have three different bike trailers for less than €400 altogether and I use them regularly, at least once a week, turning my ordinary cheap hybrid bike into a full cargo bike to carry almost anything for a fraction of the cost of an actual real cargo bike. I'm not wealthy, so in order to enjoy as many benefits as I can in life relative to my income, I regularly buy "good enough" instead of the "the best" when it will still achieve my needs. I have and had no doubts even before I left my comment that Hinterher makes quality that can be depended upon for a lifetime and I would never hesitate to buy one of your trailers for heavier use because you have a brand, workmanship and reputation I know I could rely on. I wish you all the best for the future.

Nice and simple without using a cnc or other crap that normal people would never have just to show off. KZhead needs more videos like this. Thanks for sharing. I'd add removable/flip up pivoting casters w/brake to the back and another place near the front for a second axel so you can move the wheels forward. That would make it easiest to walk when you need to and would stabilize the trailer when loading. I would also add something to widen the tray frame for those times you load is bigger than your trailer frame. Maybe swopping for a slightly larger piece of plywood and packing the outside of the frame or something similar would do the trick. Could still fit your 3 green bin. Could also add a couple legs that drop or flip down so you can move the wheels with the trailer loaded. I doubt any of it would add much weight.

It's fully enclosed and secure like the boot of a car and nothing will fall out. I've had over 70Kg and it's working out fabulously.

greetings from a fellow builder from across the pond as the Brits say I would use My German but as I learned it as a young boy some 5 decades ago and froew keller only had time to teach me to speak not write or read. I to used the childrens carts as the base of one of my bike/ mobility scooter trailers. it is the main one for my dog to go riding with me. I had no luck getting the covers off the frames so I added a few light weith tent poles as the extra body frame I needed and will now cover all but a few (3) of the plastic & net windows with a custom cloth & glue poor mans fiberglass for a semi ridged body. It should do fine I am also building a couple other trailers/rear body add ons to make my M.Scooter to look like a 1900s era C cab delivery truck. wish me good luck.And my congratulations on your build. oh all most forgot if you use some more square tubing you could have a 2 part swivel down drop & pin leveling legs for your trailer on the cheap & with no welding needed. It would be the same as many factory built units of all kinds have at least at the tong but I would sugest you put 1 on at least front corners if not on all 4 corners. I likes the Idea of rebuilding the hitch with a angled peace of square tubing going down under the bed of it, you might just run that tubing all the way to the back for more strength. great build a new fan

Amazing, thank you. I was thinking of building something similar when I found this video and I got some good ideas from it. One thing I will do slightly differently: Instead of the hooks I use angle profiles with horizontal 25 or 30 mm wide slits as borders. My ratchet straps fit perfectly through these slits, so I can attach them pretty much anywhere on the trailer. Since the angle profiles are made of aluminum and slightly smaller than yours, I will ad 4-8 additional steel angles with the same kind of slit and more holes to bolt them to the playwood so that they can handle ratched straps with a lot of weight. And I might add removable railings/walls later and was thinking of getting a lockable aluminum box. I am still trying to figure out a way to make it removable but firmly attached and lockable to the trailer. I hope my wheels and axle last for a while as they are not in the best condition. But I couldn't find any better used trailer at a reasonable price. At least it came with three couplers (one on a kickstand) that I don't need and will resell. Sadly the lockable drawbar came without keys. So I might have to tinker with another drawbar that I still have on my old (dying...) trailer to get this working. Should the wheels and axle wear down soon, I might actually buy new good ones from Hinterher and attach them to the trailer. That way it would be really sturdy and durable.

Excellent idea to base the design around euro crates, if that's an important factor for your use. Repurposing parts from a suitable donor item - and selling the unwanted bits to ( more than ) recoup expenditure also makes good sense. Looks like you've ended up with a useful bit of kit for your needs. What weight of goods are you typically carrying - over what distance? I also took a similar - but different approach - by using parts from a couple of discarded kid's buggies. This worked well (for me) because I wanted a lightweight folding trailer that could be carried on the bike's pannier rack until needed. Another major difference is that I prefer the hitch point to be on the bike's centreline - so that associated frame brought the total weight of everything to about 5.3kg At Feb '24, it's been in use for about 5.5 years, and it's been a game changer for me - I hope yours serves you just as well.

Not sure that unless you get real lucky on finding a used trailer to start with or reselling the parts you'd make that much money this way. That said having a custom fit to design trailer is near priceless. Even the more expensive trailers you buy pre-made are almost always the wrong size. Slightly to big, or to small. With rounded corners or something to make your desired load not fit right.

I would personally raise the floor a bit so it's above the wheels and you can load even more stuff onto it, then integrate a hidden foldable chair into that raised part, so that you can take passengers with you as well!

@peter572 Жыл бұрын
Honestly, I just guessed. I looked at a few trailers and they seemed to have the axle slightly behind the middle, so I went with that too. It makes sense, because you want to balance the weight pretty well, so there is not much down or up force on your bikes rear axle.
@Marty Жыл бұрын
@@Marty There should only always be down force on the bikes rear axle for stability and braking.

Thanks! It's capable of at least holding 80kg but I did not try more. But the limiting factor will be your pulling power. Also check your local laws. In germany the weight of a bike trailer is limited.

Das geht schon, man kann damit ohnehin nicht so rasen, wenn der beladen ist, sodass das nicht so ins Gewicht fällt. Aber nett wär es schon. Gerade wenn die Boxen noch leer sind, klappern die wie verrückt. Wobei das mit Federung wahrscheinlich auch nicht verschwinden würde. Aktuell lege ich einfach Karton unter, das funktioniert auch :)

Hola Marty, te felicito por tu proyecto, me gusta mucho, por varios motivos, el primero porque es simple, el diseño es más lógico que científico, sin embargo, debes haber invertido muchas horas en cálculos y pruebas, segundo porque está construido con materiales comunes que se pueden obtener en cualquier parte y los ángulos ranurados hasta te permitirían variar las dimensiones del remolque, tercero, porque es desmontable y te permite ahorrar espacio cuando no lo usas, y el cuarto motivo y más importante para mí, es que, tu proyecto es viable para replicar. Lo que no me queda muy claro, es que, si bien el excelente peso final es de 15 kg. No nos comentas de la rigidez de la estructura y el peso de carga que soporta. Quisiera también que nos comentes de la posición del eje de las ruedas, qué tan desplazado del centro hacía adelante lo has anclado, para no recargar el peso a la bicicleta y restarle estabilidad. Apreciaría mucho tu respuesta. Un fuerte abrazo desde Lima, Perú.

Hi Gino, I used a translation tool so please forgive me if I did not get everything right :) First, thank you very much for your kind words. The trailer is not perfectly stiff. It can twist a little bit along the roll axis. I always load it symmetrically (as you should with every trailer) and did not have any problems so far. As for the position of the axis, I imagined it being in the middle would give me the best properties in regards to riding comfort and load distribution. I took it a little bit back from the middle to the rear end so that the trailer will naturally lean forward when it's not loaded. A big hug back from germany :)

Hi Claudio, you can see everything I used in the video. What is available to you varies by country I guess.
Been only using bike trailers for our businesses for 8 years now. Will never go back. Well done!
what do your business haul?
When the fabric on our old child trailer started to disintegrate, I took off the fabric and the roll bars completely and installed a wood floor right on top of the old base. That made a really good extension to our cargo bike when we gutted and refitted our bathrooms.
This is absolutely amazing. So simple, and you’ve made very sensible decisions to keep the cost low while still keeping a great cargo capacity.
Thank you :)
I am currently in the process making a bike trailer for my neighborhood car wash business. I bought a cheap old little kid bike trailer (the ones where the parents can have the kid in the trailer and pull them) and stripped it down to the chassis. I am in the process of adding all the wood. It's gonna be really cool and efficient. Awesome idea BTW
This is the perfect trailer I want for carrying around a lawnmower and other things too big or long for my current large sized dog trailer. Hinterher's profit margins must be absolutely huge. Well done. You have my genuine admiration.
I am looking into a bike trailer for the exact same reason, have you built one if so how and what parts did you use? And what is the dimensions of your trailer?
Unfortunately for us you are wrong: Our profit margins are not absolutely huge. Sad but true. They are large enough for us to sustain our company in a healthy way so that people can buy spare parts. But believe me, building high-quality bike trailers in small numbers is not your easiest get-rich-quick-sheme. It is always difficult to compare a diy built with our model. Parts may look roughly the same when in fact there`s much more that differentiates them if you dig a little deeper. Our chassis is vastly more sophisticated to manufacturer and thus much more expensive, yet stiffer, stronger and lighter. You wouldn`t compare a high-end bike frame with a simple one just because they look the same? We also use a custom-made stainless steel axle with threaded ends and an custom-made inserted stainless-steel sleeves to hold the wheels. The list goes on and adds up. We do not want to diminish this great diy-project, but we always feel a bit disappointed when people assume we rip-off customers with our small scale workshop production of custom-made trailer components here in Germany. It`s not like we were Chris King, charging 400 bucks for a front hub...
@@hinterher_bike_trailers Hello and thanks for your unexpected and very detailed response. Yes, I can understand as a small business, employing staff and paying them a fair wage building a high quality product which has a very limited market that it can be very difficult. And I appreciate your frustration reading my casual comment without giving you and others like you the appreciation you deserve for the high quality products you make. But which also need to be sold for higher prices to compensate for the quality materials and workmanship involved in making them and to provide a reasonable profit in an expensive developed country. I live in Ireland myself. I left my comment in relation to the video I had just watched and from the point of view of a customer who would always try to get the most return for the least cost. Of course, when I am doing that, like almost everyone else, I give little or no consideration to the story and lives of the people and businesses that may make different products of different qualities and prices. As it happens, I bought a Duramaxx branded cheap trailer from a German website in 2022 which I know is made in China. I am well aware it's quality and durability is not in any way comparable to the quality of your products but for €105 which was a bargain price on the day, it should give me several years of use along with my two other German branded but also Chinese made trailers. There's a great expression I like to use regularly which applies to me a lot. "Never mind the quality, feel the width!" I have three different bike trailers for less than €400 altogether and I use them regularly, at least once a week, turning my ordinary cheap hybrid bike into a full cargo bike to carry almost anything for a fraction of the cost of an actual real cargo bike. I'm not wealthy, so in order to enjoy as many benefits as I can in life relative to my income, I regularly buy "good enough" instead of the "the best" when it will still achieve my needs. I have and had no doubts even before I left my comment that Hinterher makes quality that can be depended upon for a lifetime and I would never hesitate to buy one of your trailers for heavier use because you have a brand, workmanship and reputation I know I could rely on. I wish you all the best for the future.
Well done, Marty👍🏻I‘ve got a similar idea to reuse an old biketrailer…now I am happy to have a nice example!🙂
Love the simplicity. Very smart and well done.
I very much like that you made it to fit with the Eurobox/pallet standard. Excellent idea which I will incorporate in the design of my own. Thanks.
Fantastic adaptation I love it 👍.
I have been thinking of such a trailer myself. Excellent timing that I happened upon your excellent build. Great job and the idea of a support to level the unattached trailer is an excellent idea. I have several wheels from an old golf club cart that will suffice and I can weld up angle to make the wagon part. Thanks for the idea.
awesome trailer! awesome video!
Thats amazing! thanks for sharing you idea 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Very nice trailer design. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing and documenting this is super helpful, very resourceful with good logic thanks again
Nice and simple without using a cnc or other crap that normal people would never have just to show off. KZhead needs more videos like this. Thanks for sharing. I'd add removable/flip up pivoting casters w/brake to the back and another place near the front for a second axel so you can move the wheels forward. That would make it easiest to walk when you need to and would stabilize the trailer when loading. I would also add something to widen the tray frame for those times you load is bigger than your trailer frame. Maybe swopping for a slightly larger piece of plywood and packing the outside of the frame or something similar would do the trick. Could still fit your 3 green bin. Could also add a couple legs that drop or flip down so you can move the wheels with the trailer loaded. I doubt any of it would add much weight.
Yes, that was the intention :) While it is interesting to watch, I doubt 99,999% will ever own a CNC or even a welder for that matter. Your improvements sound like a good idea 👍
Looks great 👍
Brilliant idea. I've just recently managed to salvage some angle profiles from a garbage container (yes, some companies are really throwing away stuff like that!) and was looking for us for them. I think I'll copy your design, maybe just go a little smaller.
Nice job!
Nice project. I would love to build one myself to get groceries from the store etc. But I just don't feel comfortable cycling through my city. I hope cycling becomes more attractive around here in the future
Gas prices increasing will make people bike thankfully. Just make it extremely inconvenient to drive everywhere financially. Businesses who depend will be fine
I don't have a car yet and I'm only 14 so I ride my bike, check out the video in my channel.
Where do you live? Are there no bicycle paths?
@@Marty who, me? I live in an area with bicycle paths and lanes.
I got a large sized Trixie dog trailer from Amazon over a year ago for €131 at the time and it has been fabulous for all kinds of cargo and shopping. It's fully enclosed and secure like the boot of a car and nothing will fall out. I've had over 70Kg and it's working out fabulously. This would not be suitable for trips to the supermarket or shops because it's to big and not enclosed unless you use additional crates or boxes.
Looks fun and useful. An adjustable bike kickstand may work.
Nice work. Trailer looks very spacious
Thanks! The amount of stuff that goes on it is amazing. These green boxes also stack. I had 6 of them on there at one point and it still handled well.
this is awesome!
I just bought a second identical trailer to my Schwinn. I noticed that mine had upgrades so I just transferred the canvas and now I have a trailer frame. I want to be able to haul 2x 5-gallon water bottles by building a trailer with light and budget friendly materials. Plus, my 30lb pet will have to come too. This video is a good starting point. So pointer: you should add brakes if you haven't. Also, how about a closed in trailer to keep secure when you leave unattended.
Great job 💯❤️. More trailers this size need to be sold. I would pay you to make one for me.
fein. aber ich würde empfehlen, die Metalkanten noch zu beschichten wäre zu schade wenn alle Schnittkanten und gebohrten Löcher rosten. Noch eine Idee: die Mitteldeichsel hinten befestigen. So kann man den beladenen Hänger gut ans Rad rangieren und hat später eine Halterung für ein Fähnchen oder extra Beleuchtung, oder sogar noch einen zusätzlichen Anhänger.... (oder ein Stützrad?)
Nice work
Tolles projekt, sehr gut umgesetzt.
greetings from a fellow builder from across the pond as the Brits say I would use My German but as I learned it as a young boy some 5 decades ago and froew keller only had time to teach me to speak not write or read. I to used the childrens carts as the base of one of my bike/ mobility scooter trailers. it is the main one for my dog to go riding with me. I had no luck getting the covers off the frames so I added a few light weith tent poles as the extra body frame I needed and will now cover all but a few (3) of the plastic & net windows with a custom cloth & glue poor mans fiberglass for a semi ridged body. It should do fine I am also building a couple other trailers/rear body add ons to make my M.Scooter to look like a 1900s era C cab delivery truck. wish me good luck.And my congratulations on your build. oh all most forgot if you use some more square tubing you could have a 2 part swivel down drop & pin leveling legs for your trailer on the cheap & with no welding needed. It would be the same as many factory built units of all kinds have at least at the tong but I would sugest you put 1 on at least front corners if not on all 4 corners. I likes the Idea of rebuilding the hitch with a angled peace of square tubing going down under the bed of it, you might just run that tubing all the way to the back for more strength. great build a new fan
Marvellous video
Wow, I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.
Love it!
I'm getting ready to build one and paint match to the color of my bike. I'm kinda feeling a little shy and weird to pull a bike trailer but I think I'll get used to it. I'm sure people will envy my ability to manual grocery store cargo when gasoline becomes unaffordable
Nice! Haven't really thought about a paint job yet, but it's a good idea. I receive suprisingly low amounts strange looks from people. I guess the whole cargo-bike-thing is getting normal.
Great job. I'm really interested in how you sell-off parts. It's a great way to utilise materials.
In germany ebay has a marketplace for local offerings "Kleinanzeigen". That works very well. I probably helped a dozen owners to repair their children trailer :)
Amazing, thank you. I was thinking of building something similar when I found this video and I got some good ideas from it. One thing I will do slightly differently: Instead of the hooks I use angle profiles with horizontal 25 or 30 mm wide slits as borders. My ratchet straps fit perfectly through these slits, so I can attach them pretty much anywhere on the trailer. Since the angle profiles are made of aluminum and slightly smaller than yours, I will ad 4-8 additional steel angles with the same kind of slit and more holes to bolt them to the playwood so that they can handle ratched straps with a lot of weight. And I might add removable railings/walls later and was thinking of getting a lockable aluminum box. I am still trying to figure out a way to make it removable but firmly attached and lockable to the trailer. I hope my wheels and axle last for a while as they are not in the best condition. But I couldn't find any better used trailer at a reasonable price. At least it came with three couplers (one on a kickstand) that I don't need and will resell. Sadly the lockable drawbar came without keys. So I might have to tinker with another drawbar that I still have on my old (dying...) trailer to get this working. Should the wheels and axle wear down soon, I might actually buy new good ones from Hinterher and attach them to the trailer. That way it would be really sturdy and durable.
did you make a video?
Great job, Awesome work .This looks really cool. I would like to build 1 myself, It would be very useful.
Yes, go for it! I use it almost every week and it's really helpful.
Great job, especially as selling the non-used parts covered the cost, I would add sone sort of waterproof cover. I've been thinking of getting a trailer for my eBike for groceries 😊
I find your voice very soothing... like listening to a story teller reading The Cat in The Hat. 😊 BTW, wonderful work and thoroughly planned out!
Thanks :)
Ziemlich Basic aber einfach zum nachbauen. Das Video hat mich auf eine Idee gebracht 👍 Weiter so 👌
Super video Bro. 🙋🏻♂️🇵🇪
Awesome Build! Can you show us how we can build a pull behind bike camper?
Excellent idea to base the design around euro crates, if that's an important factor for your use. Repurposing parts from a suitable donor item - and selling the unwanted bits to ( more than ) recoup expenditure also makes good sense. Looks like you've ended up with a useful bit of kit for your needs. What weight of goods are you typically carrying - over what distance? I also took a similar - but different approach - by using parts from a couple of discarded kid's buggies. This worked well (for me) because I wanted a lightweight folding trailer that could be carried on the bike's pannier rack until needed. Another major difference is that I prefer the hitch point to be on the bike's centreline - so that associated frame brought the total weight of everything to about 5.3kg At Feb '24, it's been in use for about 5.5 years, and it's been a game changer for me - I hope yours serves you just as well.
Nice dude
Thanks for the video and ideas, 👍✌🖖🥃good job, piece, live long and have a bourbon....

Great build. Looking to build something similar to transport drum kit around to gifs/ rehearsals. Can i ask about the axle? What is it and where did you get it? Thanks
I got an idea for you. You could build side walls from pallet boards take apart pallets pull nails out of them use L brackets to screw to trailer floor and sides. Then you could haul dirt or wood sawdust.
Ist ein schöner kompakte Anhänger sieht sehr gut aus
Very nice job. Only thing I would add is a couple of 100W solar panels and a large battery to reduce center of mass. Then that can be used to drive an ebike for practically unlimited range.
Yes! That would be awesome. But I don't have an eBike 🤷♂️
@@Marty then get one, or make one.
Needs to Fold out into a 2 person queen sized camp bed.
Marty, just use one or 2 regular bicycle kickstands for the front. That’s what I’m working on today
I would put protective u-bars and metal shield to protect the wheel from what's on the platform and have posts/poles at the 4 corners so you can more securely carry things from a lower center of mass; without the plastic boxes... like lumber, planks and panels and even the occasional piece of furniture.
That's a good idea. For me the boxes are the main use case and I'd rather do without the extra weight, but for someone else this might be good.
Damn, I'd been looking at building a cargo bike for work but this is way for financially viable. It's only a 10 minute drive and I spend so much on fuel nipping round site. This would easily fit all the tools I need on a day to day basis, might have to have the spirit levels hanging off the end but it'll be worth it for all the money saved on fuel
Hi @Marty, the the used kids trailer you bought, was it single-seated or double-seated?
Hi, it was double-seated.
@@Marty Thanks for your reply! I already bought a single-seated one and thinking now about still doing the conversion.
Yes this did inspire me do something similar
Go for it!
Not sure that unless you get real lucky on finding a used trailer to start with or reselling the parts you'd make that much money this way. That said having a custom fit to design trailer is near priceless. Even the more expensive trailers you buy pre-made are almost always the wrong size. Slightly to big, or to small. With rounded corners or something to make your desired load not fit right.
I would personally raise the floor a bit so it's above the wheels and you can load even more stuff onto it, then integrate a hidden foldable chair into that raised part, so that you can take passengers with you as well! Something as simple as splitting the raised bit into three plywood panels, and folding up the rear one for a back rest and folding down the front panel for a foot rest could work!
Hello Thank you for sharing your work which is excellent, today I started to see the carts of the same German company H, and although I had an idea with them I defined them, however doing it I was not very clear about what materials to use, you clarified everything and I will do mine equal and identical If you could please share the brand of the trailer that I use so that the axle works very well or which one you recommend the most, of. The best ones that I allow myself to comment on would be to make 4 to 6 cm punches to lighten the table, thanks and congratulations, it looks almost identical to the original of H, greetings
Thanks! The trailer was a "Chariot Cougar". The brand Chariot was acquired by Thule, so the newer models are from them. I suggest to get a broken or very dirty one, otherwise they will cost you around 300€.

Great idea. What is the thickness of the wood you used? I have one small addition to your design. When you dismantled the trailer you used your foot to protect the reflectors. You could mount a rubber door stopper/buffer next to the reflector on each side.
Yes that's a good idea. I have since broken one of them because I was too lazy to do this 🙄 The wood it 8 or 9mm thick.
@@Marty Which kind of wood your plywood is made of (birch, poplar…)? Since birch wood is the most available, I wonder if a 9mm thick birch plywood is enough.
Marty, thanks for the great video! Where did you put the wheel axle? I bet more weight should be put towards the hitch. The H-trailer looks like it has the axle at approx. 1.5 ratio (front/rear distance). Have you experimented with different positions to find out how the bike handles if more weight is loaded towards the hitch?
Honestly, I just guessed. I looked at a few trailers and they seemed to have the axle slightly behind the middle, so I went with that too. It makes sense, because you want to balance the weight pretty well, so there is not much down or up force on your bikes rear axle.
@@Marty There should only always be down force on the bikes rear axle for stability and braking. Regulations also recommend that the front of the trailer not have a hard 90° which could catch on a post or a person as you ride, so should have another deflector on the front right side, as well as deflectors in front of the wheels.
Hi Marty, impressive build! I really want to do this on own, very likely heavily inspired by yours. Could you please share were you bought these steel profiles? (I am from germany, too, so shop names would also be fine) Thx.
I think I've found the exact same steel profiles at Hornbach (Art. 6783642), check them out here: www.hornbach.de/shop/Conceptor-Winkelprofil-gelocht-verzinkt-25x45x1-mm-2m/6783642/artikel.html
Moin Berend, sorry für die späte Antwort. Ich habe alles bei Hornbach gekauft . Viel Erfolg!
I'm looking to make one to transport a 3m ladder and my tools to various jobs. I'd have to change the gears on the bike to help me pull it all though. Thoughts?? Cheers for the video. It helped.
Sounds doable. There are bike trailers for carrying kayaks and such. Whether you need another gear ratio depends on the weight of the load. I found the rear gear to be cheaper, so I would start with that and add a tooth or two. You will probably need a longer chain.
Not sure if this construction can carry much weight - maybe 20 to 30 Kilo? Your tools and ladder is probably much more - I would invest in something that can carry more. I'm on the lookout myself, but want to build something on top of the trailer. I found the Surly Bill is pretty long - 1,2m and 60cm wide - but can carry up to 130kg. Something like that would be better. You can always strap things on - or mount a watertight box.

@Marty hello, what wheel axle did you use? I plan to do something similar but I have no idea where to get such an axle as you have or as other trailers of this type have
The axle came with the original Chariot (now Thule) trailer.
😂 certainly admire the ingenuity. Do you have anything lighter than galvanized a steel? Perhaps cheaper like carbon flex or something?
Like a galvanized steel frame and carbon fiber tub or barrel
Storage container even reinforced less weight
Hi Marty, do you have a list of parts you used? I'd like to build it like yours. It's cheap, stable, pretty, easy built and small - exactly what I searched for.
I have no full list, since the available material will vary from country to country. The important stuff is the plywood. In my case it was 1250x625x8mm I believe. And the 60x35x1mm steel angle profile with the holes.
@@Marty Please, provide the length of the square tubes do you use (20cm looks too short I guess)
Yeah in my experience if your carrying enough stuff to warrant a trailer you better hope your route is either really flat or all down hill on the way home. Add the weight of the trailer to even just a 30-50 lb load and those hills are a killer, never mind full stops and starts at intersections and the like.
I had two euro pallets on there with 20-25kg each. There was a hill on the way home and yes, I got pretty warm. But it was that pretty warmness of success and satisfaction :D
Dang man this is what I need for my lawn mower I'm trying to start a bussnice and I need to get around, what do u think about letting buy this Marty?
It's a funny thought, but I don't think I'll be getting into the manufacturing business any time soon. But I'm glad you like the design :)
@@Marty how much weight could it take
Could you also attach a shopping cart basket to the base to add some additional carry space?
Yes that's definitely possible and a great idea!
You should put on 2 more wheels to make it a 4 wheel wagon. That way, the cart will stand by itself and hold twice the weight.
You’d need smaller wheels, and the front would have to be able to steer. The best way to make any trailer stand on its own, is to give it fold down legs at the corners. (Like a caravan)
Jaki rozmiar kół? Jakie koła będą mocniejsze?
It made me miss germany
Very cool build. How much weight will it hold?
I can stand on it without it feeling unstable at all. So at least 80kg.
Make these and sell them you could make a lot of money
I am thinking of making a similar trailer but with higher sides and I want to use pvc pipes to make an arch or rib going from side to side and then cover with tarp like covered wagons for a bottom use corplast and 1x2 for wheels I am thinking wheelchair so they only need supported on 1 side so there's no shaft or axle what do u think of the wheels?????? but I won't get to it anytime soon was hoping someone would see this and try it
I first thought about wheelchair wheels too, but then I found the used trailer. But they should work just fine. Plus used wheelchairs are quite cheap here.
I'm new on this stuff so, that coupler, can it be used for a small motorcycle?
I'd doubt that this particular coupler will be legal for a motorcycle. But in theory it should work, you'd have to install it to the motorcycle somehow .
Someone please build me one. I’m not very handy. Something like this would help tremendously to get my musician gear around my island for performances.

Thanks! It's capable of at least holding 80kg but I did not try more. But the limiting factor will be your pulling power. Also check your local laws. In germany the weight of a bike trailer is limited.
@@Marty You are absolutely right, due to the "pulling power" as well the regulation in Germany. They are always strict …;-) I just wanted an estimated/approximate Idea for the axle/axial load. That way I would go ahead and buy myself a used Kids … ;-)) -- Keep them coming, the good Ideas √√
Geile Sache :-) Fehlt dir die fehlende Stoßdämpfung bei Lasten oder kommst du damit gut klar?
Das geht schon, man kann damit ohnehin nicht so rasen, wenn der beladen ist, sodass das nicht so ins Gewicht fällt. Aber nett wär es schon. Gerade wenn die Boxen noch leer sind, klappern die wie verrückt. Wobei das mit Federung wahrscheinlich auch nicht verschwinden würde. Aktuell lege ich einfach Karton unter, das funktioniert auch :)
The complicated issue , the axle, is not explained . Both axle and wheels are unknown to me from bicycles.
The axle with the wheels luckily came as a complete bundle from the old childrens trailer.
Why not add a front wheel on a castor instead of a kickstand? I’m currently building a trailer and thinking about doing that
That's also a neat idea!
Put some removable side's on it
Is the axel centered on the box?
It's slightly behind the center.
Ich habe auch einen flatbed-Anhänger aber Ihrer hat den größten Vorteil, dass man nicht schweißen muss.
How did you assemble the axle ?
It came as a complete bundle with the wheels from the old trailer, so I did not have to do much other than bolting it to the plywood.
You made profit on making something for yourself! Can't forget YT ads.
Yes!
Hola que gusto te escribo desde el Perú, mi nombre también es Marti pero i latina, una consulta quiero hacer un carrito similar pero para transportar mi kayak, el brazo qué une el remolque con la bicicleta como se llama o donde puedo conseguirlo, gracias por tu respuesta
Hola Martí! Esta es la barra de tiro. El mío estaba incluido con el antiguo remolque, pero también puedes comprarlos individualmente, por ejemplo en hinterher.com.
Súper…..! Ich habe eine gemacht…! ☺️
I've come up with better ideas for myself and it would be so tricky to built and also willing adding solar panels and batteries to keeping my power accessories when I need go out fishing in summer nights and looking forward on next project built way better then my first project and willing to upgrade for my new caravan that's my goal
I've still got fishing trailer willing to do some wider axles and then do side's wall framing into cargo box with few bits n pieces then can not wait to tow along with my e scooter and will make my own hitch attachment part from that be bonus
Hola Marty, te felicito por tu proyecto, me gusta mucho, por varios motivos, el primero porque es simple, el diseño es más lógico que científico, sin embargo, debes haber invertido muchas horas en cálculos y pruebas, segundo porque está construido con materiales comunes que se pueden obtener en cualquier parte y los ángulos ranurados hasta te permitirían variar las dimensiones del remolque, tercero, porque es desmontable y te permite ahorrar espacio cuando no lo usas, y el cuarto motivo y más importante para mí, es que, tu proyecto es viable para replicar. Lo que no me queda muy claro, es que, si bien el excelente peso final es de 15 kg. No nos comentas de la rigidez de la estructura y el peso de carga que soporta. Quisiera también que nos comentes de la posición del eje de las ruedas, qué tan desplazado del centro hacía adelante lo has anclado, para no recargar el peso a la bicicleta y restarle estabilidad. Apreciaría mucho tu respuesta. Un fuerte abrazo desde Lima, Perú.
Hi Gino, I used a translation tool so please forgive me if I did not get everything right :) First, thank you very much for your kind words. The trailer is not perfectly stiff. It can twist a little bit along the roll axis. I always load it symmetrically (as you should with every trailer) and did not have any problems so far. As for the position of the axis, I imagined it being in the middle would give me the best properties in regards to riding comfort and load distribution. I took it a little bit back from the middle to the rear end so that the trailer will naturally lean forward when it's not loaded. A big hug back from germany :)
Lo venden en alguna pagina como Amazon o Mercado libre?
No
What is the maximum tare load for this BikeTrailer?
I have no idea. It holds at least 80kg easily without bending/breaking, but I doubt one could comfortably pull that.
@@Marty thanks
I didn't think there was such thing as an illegal bike or bike trailer.
Like for everything else in germany, there's a law for that.
@@Marty really, at least you can drink at 16
I saw your project and i would like make one bike trailer Do you can post or send a mail with the list of part necessary for made very thank you claudio Bologna
Hi Claudio, you can see everything I used in the video. What is available to you varies by country I guess.
