CETMA Cargo bike

[jwmyers23]

Yes, but can you do a wheely ?

[MrBatemanpatrick]

I wouldnt want it for fun, but it would be good for groceries. For fun I would get a Pugsley or Mukluk.

[CETMAracks]

@MrBatemanpatrick It's definitely great for groceries, but indeed possibly not fun for everyone.

[CETMAracks]

@TheFizikz Thanks very much. I agree, it's a huge advantage to have young passengers in front of the driver to interact, etc. Thanks for commenting.

[EvendimataE]

why not just make it 3 wheels its wide anyway

[CETMAracks]

@EvendimataE Because it's easier to build, requires less materials, fewer parts, it's more maneuverable, it's lighter, and most importantly, it's the bike I wanted. Besides, regardless of how many wheels it has, people like you will always ask why not this why not that why not this why not that why not this.....

2100 euro's for a few steel bars welded together.. for 400 euro's you have a large (old) car which transports over a thousand kg without any effort from the driver.

[CETMAracks]

@Engineer9736 Yeah. So?

[CETMAracks]

@Cloisim !!! Well said! Thanks.

[clintsnyder]

since the load is put in the front, does it get unstable, or hard to turn when heavy?

[CETMAracks]

@clintsnyder It depends upon how much weight you're carrying. The steering begins to feel heavy around 300 pounds, but I wouldn't necessarily call it unstable. The center of gravity is very low, making it always feel stable and in control. Having the load near the handlebars adds stability, which seems an ideal place for heavy cargo.

[clintsnyder]

@CETMAracks Yeah thanks! A low center of gravity makes sense. I guess i was only thinking about the times by front pannier bags are over-loaded. But they sit much higher than this would. I would love to try one of these out! But being in asia, it might be hard to find. But if the asian bike people caught on to this...it would be a hit!!!

[futurepr0ductions]

HOW DID I GET HERE?

[Tmoa50]

HAhaaha #LOL !

[NTComputer86]

thats tight i want one

[stopglobalswarming]

Well, thats certainly different. I like how the cargo is down close to the ground for good balance.

[werf4]

they are far too expensive at the price you say, it would be cheaper to fabricate something up yourself.

[CETMAracks]

@werf4 Totally true. I agree that it would be cheaper to make one yourself, but only if you're factoring the cost of materials. My price reflects not only the materials and parts costs, but my time and effort to build and assemble the thing. Thanks for your input.

[DannyTBrian]

originally danish!

[CETMAracks]

This one is originally American. It's made in Oregon.

[Axbent]

@CETMAracks the Danish ones are made in Sweden! :P

[CETMAracks]

The Oregonian ones are made in America!

[Visualsilva]

what do these cost?

[DannyTBrian]

they are not exactly "cheap" one of those here in europecosts about 16,000dkk or 2,100euro or 1,900pounds or 3,120dollars

[chaiMonty]

Well OK. but I hate secrets. Anyway its good to see you are keeping up the good work and evolving. I still have one of your old Bar-BQ racks, 7 rod.

[chaiMonty]

Hey, Lane thats the coolest cargobike in America. I love it!! Have you seen the cargo bike Bullitt / long john from Europe?

What kind of bike jig did you use?

[CETMAracks]

Thanks!

I am familiar with the Bullitt/Larry vs. Harry bike. Made over seas, "integrated frame" platform, and constructed from aluminum. Beautiful bikes.

Jigs? Top secret!

[jamesbondsv]

So want.
