Contents
Context
- cargo bikes overview, a "longjohn"-type cargo bike has 2 wheels (1st column) and all types of load ("loads", "loads and kids", "kids", "advertisement", "selling", etc.) are known to have been successfully transported with longjohns (therefore there is one longjohn icon in each not-empty cell of the 1st column)
- [Werkstatt Lastenrad, André Frieboese, Long André]
- This is not a typical Hackerspace project, but more a typical project for the very young UCmakerspace.
Description
- Building a long john-type cargo bike according to these (links from werkstatt-lastenrad.de):
- illustration-rich "A6 cards" PDF document "Werkstatt-Kärtchen zum Bau von Long André" (German)
- original construction manual (German)
- French description, translation ongoing (content is roughly that of the "A6 cards" PDF document)
- 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 following existing documentation.
- The first thing to build is not the bike itself but a BikeBench (see below under Components)
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
- Documentation has almost the status of a component...
BikeBench
A BikeBench is a jig / workbench for bicycle-based creations, designed and implemented by Thomas Viebach from Werkstatt Lastenrad.
Links:
- Werkstatt Lastenrad's wiki pages: original (German), French (translation ongoing)
- this wiki's page
Long-André: description en français
Schedule
- Opening: May 2015
- Ending: ?
Participants
- Léonard (Leader, UCmakerspace guest)
- Marc Wettstein (UCmakerspace boss)
- The Werkstatt Lastenrad people in Germany, with whom emails are being exchanged: Christophe Vaillant, André Frieböse, Tom Hansing, Thomas Viebach
