Long Andre

Description

• Building a long john-type caro bike according to these (http://www.werkstatt-lastenrad.de/index.php?title=Hauptseite Werkstatt Lastenrad links):
  • nice PDF document "Werkstatt-Kärtchen zum Bau von Long André"
  • construction manual
• This is not a typical Hackerspace project, but more a typical "offene Werkstatt" project for the very young UCmakerspace.
• Making roadworthy vehicles is delicate enough not to improvise too much at first. Hence, this project is currently being led in a spirit of carefully reproducing what's been luckily well-enough documented.
• The first thing to build is not the bike itself but a BikeBench

Goal

• make a 1st working prototype of a Long André
• organize Long André manufacturing workshops

Obstacles

• documentation must be translated first (pending)

Component

• BOM & list of needed tools are the first things that will be translated
