Electric Cargo Bike Build - Finishing the Bike & Test Ride

Here's Part 2 of my most involved bike build yet - in this video we're finishing the bike which includes making all the components for the cable steering and kickstand, solving the internal wiring and doing the final assembly and testing the bike. There will be one more Episode coming after this one covering some details of the build!

This is the most premium cargobike I have ever seen.
Ticks all the boxes. I really want one.

[Colorcrayons]

Such a great design. I wish this was commercially available. I could really really use this in my daily life. In fact, I would say I have needed such a thing for the good majority of my life. Thanks for sharing with us.

[unmeaninglessly]

I how u explain every step briefly, including your thought process. It teaches me a lot. Most diy channels just simply make the thing quickly, hardly any explanation.

Over-engineered?? I freakin' LOVE it!👍 😃

[listerd]

The kick stand amongst other parts really make it look and feel like a premium product. I think that because you use your bikes, you've got a great insight into what works and what things don't work for riders.

Can’t tell which is more impressive, the bike or the video production. 🤔 Quality!

[ludditetechnologies]

The effort you put into these videos is such a benefit for us all Phil truly wonderful, thank you.

[aledwilliams]

The bike's wonderful, but so's the filming and editing - great stuff, well done! Inspirational.

[usnpilot]

Excellent design, engineering, and craftsmanship. You should be enormously proud of this achievement.

I'm an avid mountainbiker but I've never ridden an e-bike, I can definitely see it being advantageous on a cargo bike, especially with a heavy load. Suspension looks great, even a small amount of travel goes a long way to take the edge off. Also, Sam Pilgrim would be proud of that "stairset of doom" at the end, haha. Great stuff, Phil. Thoroughly enjoyed the build. :)

[Corsairtux]

After the release of the first video I could not wait to see the final result.
Amusing to see all the attention to details and the care that went into building this nice bicycle. It makes me also appreciate the complexity of bicycles and what mass production allows us to enjoy. Thanks for sharing you project!

Super cool build, absolute dream bike. Congratulations!

Hallo Phill, ich schreibe dir auf Deutsch, weil ich in Teil 2 am Ende gesehen habe, dass das Video in Deutschland mit dem Zug gedreht wurde, der an vorbeifährt.

Nach der Veröffentlichung des ersten Videos konnte ich es kaum erwarten, das Endergebnis zu sehen.
Es ist lustig zu sehen, wie viel Liebe zum Detail und Sorgfalt in den Bau dieses schönen Fahrrads gesteckt wurde. Es lässt mich auch die Komplexität von Fahrrädern schätzen und das, was uns die Massenproduktion ermöglicht, zu genießen. Danke, dass Sie Ihr Projekt mit uns teilen!

👍👍👍👍

Though, I love my Omnium, I'm currently in a fit of extreme jealousy over this bike. Great work!

[jimzucker]

Sick build Phil. Congratulations! Outstanding quality as usual :)

[Frank-Leu]

This is one of the best cargo bikes i've ever seen.
It would be a good bike to ride in the small streets I live in.

[murdog]

I just finished rebuilding the bike, and it was incredibly fun. I learned so much and had absolutely no prior experience working with metal, nor had I ever built a bike before. The videos and plans are so well explained that even I, with no experience, was able to rebuild the bike. It took a year, but now I can hardly wait to ride it. Maybe one day we’ll meet on the streets of Hamburg, Phil. I wish you continued success, and I’m excited to see your next projects!

[ddssrr]

This has better quality then if a big company made it. Really impressive skills & build.. 100/10

[bethsaytomvarughese]

Wow.... Feels like a documentary... Workmanship and production are top top quality

[bentsprockettech]

The steering setup is beautiful sir. Thank you for sharing this with us.
