DIY Shopping Cart Bike Trailer

In this video I find a lost shopping cart and cut it up and add it to my kids bike trailer

Moment of silence for all the shopping carts that are left behind Nice invention :)

[@timpatterson1945]

To everyone worrying about stealing it their laying all over the city and the stores dont want them so stop being drama queens and show appreciation for someone turning junk into something useful

I too have a shopping cart that I am going to convert into a bike trailer. But I want to use it as a shopping cart in the store as well as a trailer to haul things in. So I will be keeping the cart in tact, but changing the wheels to a 20 bike tire in the rear, and 8 inch casters in the front. Great video, thanks for posting it.

[@POTHOLESURFERS]

Nice I thought about raising the handle or making a swing up handle and some drop down wheels on the front to use it but didn’t actually see myself using it that way just be careful with center of gravity you might want to keep basket low when I I added bike rack to mine it was very tippy

[@velvetvideo]

i was thinking the same

[@Kayakmiami]

​@@POTHOLESURFERS good idea 👍👍👍

[@Backwater-wanderer]

That super 73 looks awesome. Also I love the tactical acquisition of the cart, you gave it a good home. 🤘

I think it would be considered “abandoned property” at that point and you are probably good.

[@renegade637]

There's another video on KZbin about the legalities of finding a shopping cart. In short, it's not worth the time or effort of these retail chains to go after taken carts (plus, some chains faced public backlash after going after the homeless for taking their carts) and the local municipality could care less unless the store reports it as stolen.

No shopping cart 🛒 left behind ❤️

[@juileb197473051]

I have a kid trailer already, ai thought maybe I could attach a wagon to the back of it and pull a double trailer. 🤷 But then I thought that might be to heavy on the trailer hitch where it's attached and it would tear it up. So whatever. That's Genius idea, using a shopping cart, wish I was a dude with skills like this

[@juileb197473051]

😂😂😂😂 I need this, my tiny home is getting full and I need something that will carry more weight.

[@5.0_foxbody]

you can use the bottom for transmissions or stuff for your projects

[@JIODHam4s]

Corporations can afford to spare a few carts.❤

[@bradleysuarez4]

A plastic shopping cart may be lighter?

[@BobRooney290]

this is exactly what i'm looking for. i'd probably use a bigger cart, and somehow add front wheels that drop down while shopping, and have a foldable ebike in the cart. i will never let the bike out of my sight in New York City. these are stolen in like 2 minutes.

[@mountainjustice]

I use plastic signs ("bandit signs" posted on street corners) in combination with my projects, you could line the bottom of the basket for a light weight water resistant bottom which helps keep water from splashing up . These signs are useful for a million things.

My man out her grabbing shopping carts and shit

[@lynngill1588]

bro idea replace the cart frunt wheels or a cheap set from harbor F. the kind that swivel. then make trailer hitch a pin on type so it can be removed when not in use . You could ride to store get the groceries and ride home with out the whole load unload. My C cab has a similar feature , the outer body can be set off when I'm shopping so the store peeps don't think I stealing with whole closed top thing ( as the front cart of the 2 in back is open topped ) And by removing the front body panel that look like the truck hood it becomes another small shopping basket. It's going to be the bomb !

[@makingd.o.1694]

Pretty good if you like milk shakes or freshly made butter

[@lynngill1588]

bro you can make a shop chair & tools dolly out of the bottom of the cart so easy.If you'd want I have a mobility scooter seat you can have for the cost of shipping it to you. then just put a small tray like an aluminum sheet cake pan from thrift store or whatever . nice build I'm doing one with 2 of those trailers end to end but I couldn't figure out how to safety remove the skins. I'm also building a custom body for my mobility scooter with 2 nesting rear baskets @ the back to form the bed of what I hope to make look like a 1900s C Cab delivery truck by adding a small basket to the front I will build the fakei engine area. as I was conceiving of this 1 it came to me to keep the bottom racks so that I can add several extra batteries to increase the range as well as with the 2 rear nesting carts by cutting & rearranging a few peaces I could make it so, when I pull almost apart I can get a camper like micro bed with space to carry sleeping bag below. I'm calling it Harry's Hobo RV. I hope it materializes as cool as my drawings & blue prints great build brother, new fan keep them coming !

[@a1930ford]

How easy is it to tip over as you take corners and all with this trailer attached? That seems like it could be an issue with the smaller wheels and all on this cart when loaded with a kid or two.

[@danny74550]

How you get rid of that wobble.

[@jamesrobinson4769]

You addlights to the bike trailer shopping cart to look cool at night

[@EvendimataE]

yes shopping carts are very good for that purpose.....but i hate it when someboady ask, where did you steal that? LOL ....so i just use those big plastic bins instead

[@POTHOLESURFERS]

I have a few of those baskets too with some ideas for projects

[@samirrafik7943]

Toop 👍👍👍

[@viviennepatterson5950]

Great idea but lost me when you stole the cart. You could have purchase a damaged one from a supermarket.

[@timpatterson1945]

WTF that cart was toast with the name missing no grocery store would take it and they don't sell to individual's they go back to the manufacturer. So it would sit there untill some kid pushed it into the road for a car to hit. Don't be so up tight he really did give it new life unless you want it to clutter up a land fill

[@CupidCo-dr6ob]

Make this guy sheriff

[@Ralffart]

Sort of a Shady Shopping Buggy snatch. Then this guy shows his Tag Number at the end of the Video!!!!

[@hyuzu1844]

Where can I shop for a shopping cart

[@wallywrench9844]

You can get a shopping cart at Aldi to use for 25 cents.

[@tomcatt998]

Once i put my quarter in it's MINE !!!!!!

[@chrisross9438]

The police report says. .. I seen him jump out grab. The cart threw it in his van. He had a neon sweater hoodie He is the shopping cart kidnapper lol.

That's not a cup holder 😂😂😂 it's for a cane.

[@jamesrobinson4769]

You can add extra chargeable bike lights to your super 73 And turn signal charging vest on Amazon I have a charging signal vest on my red rover, five vision, fat tire bike

[@nathanneuvirth8775]

it would be easier with a bike with a rear derailer
