DIY Canoe Cart made from children's bicycle wheels and roof battens

If your canoe weighs 40kg, a canoe cart is more than a nice option!😅 This is how you build a canoe cart from a broken children's bike and roof battens and just somme common tools.

I was so happy that you have abused the the bicycle of your kids 😂 Lifting the canoe down stairs was alright but all the way back to our car…..oh man…..I‘m sure without a beer break every 20 meter it would be pure suffering😅, thanks for sharing this great series with us, hope after all this effort you‘ll have many happy time on the water with you canoe, take care my friend and have a great weekend, Taro

Oh my Felix if ONLY we could believe this to be your "last" episode of "cheep" canoe. I mean, once you think "gee I can use cardboard" and "gee I can water proof the cardboard with marine varnish" and finish that with "gee I can then use final covering of varnish soaked fabric to be sure it is good and strong" and then yup you now what we all know, this will not be the last one :D

[@mingshey]

Super! Ich liebe Ihre Projekte.

[@krazmokramer]

I enjoyed this series very much! Thank you Felix! For stability of the canoe, how about one or two removable outriggers like they use in the Pacific Islands and Hawaii? These could be easily assembled/disassembled for transportation. Also would be light weight. Just a thought for a low budget solution.

[@FelixImmler]

Super idea! Thanks a lot

Maybe placing one wheel at the very end of the canoe would increase stability. One wheel at the end near the anchoring, the 2 other wheels around the 3/5th of length point.

Schönes Video, Felix. Klasse deine Karre fürs Kanu! Öhm, wenn du die karre >Modifizieren< möchtest, damit es hinterm Fahrrad passt. Würde ich hinten eine Halterung bauen, wo ein Sackkarrenrad befestigt ist damit es keinen Bodenkontakt hat. Vorne am Kanu, leimst du noch ein Stück Dachlatte drauf. Dann mit einem Schlangenbohrer ein loch bohren, wo du ein Rohrstück rein schlagen kannst. Aus ein anderem Rohr (was passend durch das kleine Rohrstück passt), schneidest du unten ein Gewinde drauf. Wo eine Schraube drauf kommt. Am anderen Ende ein 90° Bogen, das du es am Drahtesel befestigen kannst. Smile, ist eine Winterarbeit, die ja bald ansteht. 🤔🤭🤣

[@FelixImmler]

Hey Gütner. Danke für deine Tipps. Kannst Du mir das mal kurz aufzeichnen und mailen? Ich ,muss das vor mir sehen...sorry!

Hallo Felix, Danke für die Antwort. Klar kann ich dir eine Skizze davon anfertigen. 🤭 Ist doch kein Problem, daran sieht man das jeder von uns unterschiedlich ist. 😂

[@chux72vette]

Great Job Felix. One thing I would add due to the stability issues is maybe some sot of outriggers. I have seen many canoes here where I live made from old boat bumpers. You can youtube search it as well and I believe you will be happy and safer. Ciao~

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

A solid axle will solve the problem. Build your frame over the axle and pull the canoe with the paddle. A simple arrangement of U shaped bolts will hold the axle. The paddle bracket on the bow of the canoe could be something imaginative and fun. A small carved Viking dragon? Love the idea of upgrading the canoe until you have the best version, then build a second with what you've improved. 👍 😃

I wonder if the wheels had a long axle that went through both wheels if that would create more stability. Also creating angle or cross members on the cart may help.

[@FelixImmler]

Your idea with the going thru axle is exactly my plan!

Yes lieber Felix!👍👍👍 Einfach, günstig, praktisch und super durchdacht! Natürlich könnte man den Rahmen noch verstärken, aber für den Anfang eine tolle Sache!

Made my canoe cart out of the front forks of two bikes.From what I remember I used 2x4s and pretty much looked like yours.I think I used u bolts to hold the forks on where your wheels are. Good luck I know you can figure it out.

[@backyardoutdoorsman8282]

Hello and thank you once again for an informative video. You make it look so easy. Was happy to see you use the SAK for cutting and screw driver. I will have to build such a cart myself because I no longer have the strength to carry my canoe. I can also use it for my kayak. I look forward to your next project. Keep up the good work. Until next week.

You are right! Thank you so much Jon 😅

[@bdh3949]

Nice work Felix. I think you could sturdy the whole thing up with a steel bar about 12-15mm diameter (or to match the receiving diameter on the wheel to act as an axle and attach to your frame to bear the majority of the weight in transport. You can still make it a break-down model that way. Maybe attaching a floor within your frame would add more frfame stability and capacity. Love your videos Felix.

Hi Felix. Thanks I’ve been wondering how you managed to get the axle of your kids wheel to extend so far to one side? Did you get another longer axle to fit? Thanks again!

[@FelixImmler]

Thank you for your comment. no... the axle is separated...

[@spessart-outdoors]

Hi Felix, ich habe mir neulich aus einem alten fahradkinderanhänger eine rollende Transportbox für das Fahrrad gebaut. Wäre sowas nicht auch ne Idee als langfristig stabilere Variante? Aber wieder klasse gezeigt, du hast halt immer geile Ideen Grüße Marco

[@FelixImmler]

Ja klar... ich muss das Ding noch stabiler bauen, wenn ich es als Kanu-Trailer mit dem Fahhrad verwenden möchte.

Was that you demonstrating all the functions in the official swiss tool video? Distinct hands! You work for victorinox?

[@jasonhaymanonthedrawingboard]

Totally giving me ideas. Like houseboat ideas. Popular mechanics ideas. I assume the idea could be scaled and multiplied to make pontoons. With a pony truck underneath. I’d bet it could be amphibious. I’ve seen some turn bicycles wheels into paddle wheels or even propellers. Especially what you have made is simmer in design to a Roman barge. Lapped planks with no caulking. The Romans used tenon joints to fix things together. I bet you could use screws spaced 250mm- 300mm apart in pre-drilled holes no glue needed. Oh and this guy kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHfLn6dpf7qogpo. Might just give you a few ideas.

[@FelixImmler]

Yes, something like this is my plan!! Thanks a lot for your tips!

[@davidboesenberg9712]

I am thinking that a length of threaded rod, (Also called "Allthread") running thru the frame, from one side through the other, with ends sticking out to act as axles, for the wheels, would add stability and alignment. On another issue, I bought the large SAK, with wood scales. I love the larger blade and, especially, the longer saw. I would like to be able to mount a tweezers and toothpick, and, even one of those ferro rods that fit in the toothpick slot. Could I talk you into showing me how it might be done? It sounds like something "right up your alley" as we say here.

[@magicwoodman666]

Hi Felix, super Kanu Story - kam ir nur so gerade in den Sinn als du von dein Vorhaben mir dem Fahrrad erzählt hast. Was denkst du über einen Ausleger für dein Kanu das ganze wird stabiler tragfähiger und vlt schwimmt dein Fahrrad auch noch mit? Grüße aus Hessen 🤜 🤛 🙋‍♂️M
