The ultimate Bike Trailer (made of old Wheelbarrows)

This week I built the ultimate overland style bike trailer from 2 old wheelbarrows! I am still amazed how well everything came together and how good it looks :)
Thanks Urban Drivestyle for sending me that cool bike ❤️ check them out here:

Just saw you today in Sendung mit der Maus. Nobody in the family understood when I started to shout "That's Laura, that's Laura" at first 😆 The kids loved it, thanks for your engagement.

[@laurakampf]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@CaesarIII]

We are happy everytime when Laura appears in Sendung mit der Maus. And it's always kinda disturbing (in a good way) when she talks German haha This idea seems like it's borrowing the axis and wheels from the bathtub boat project today cause this only kinda worked :D edit: ha, the bathtub boat is even mentioned. Will the bike trailer be part of a future video then?

[@SuperBigCamel]

In my family the kids and I were shouting "Laura, yay!". 'Die Sendung mit der Maus' and Lauras Videos are weekly rituals to us.

[@hiwakoo]

Als sie die beiden Hälften das erste Mal aufgemacht hat 👍 Nicht nur die Sendung mit der Maus, sondern auch die Mupfel vom Urmel

[@BeeUndercover]

Wow! Glad to know that kids program is still on :) I loved to watch that in the 70's (Dutch version)

[@mariapankowska9750]

this spare wheel on the back is just chef's kiss 👌

[@zakarymeakin6673]

Yep, that's officially the coolest thing I've seen. It's a 'wheely' good idea. I might barrow it sometime.

[@1nvisible1]

*Ahhh, der Schubkarrekampfwagen.*

[@rasalas91]

lmao

[@vallarysutton1039]

Excellent build! I had a flatbed bicycle trailer in 6th grade my stepdad made out of old bikes, used a front fork attached via the rear axle nuts and almost the same bolt hitch you use. Word of advice, always carry extra hitch bolts, used to snap one in half about every 2 weeks

[@tricoachemily8646]

That Jeep style spare wheel is too cute to be true!!! Love premier and live chats :))

[@tlange5091]

came here to point that tire out, brilliant!

[@mikewieggers6337]

Great work Laura! Just need a hasp on the back end to lock the trailer so you don't lose gear going down a rough trail. Cheers from the Great White North!

[@atan7260]

A wheelbarrow sidecar would look pretty good too

[@RebeccaEWebber]

Your Rosie the Riveter welding mask is AWESOME!

[@zanecourie3545]

You inspire me every week. I would love to be able to be a fly on the wall when you get these ideas and follow your thought process before even touching a tool.

[@laurakampf]

There is not much of a process to be honest. I have the idea and then I get started :)

[@RevdUp.Art.Fotografer]

@@laurakampf LOL..as an artist, maker, Creative I TOTALLY get that. I have a good friend that I share ideas with and do business with. Once she shares an idea of hers with me, & I can see it in my minds eye, ideas just start poppin'. That opens me up to see stuff for myself. When we really get that Creative Flow started it can just multiply. Both of us get really amped up with tons of ideas, most of which are useful...lol... I would love to expand my counceling business to include Makers, Craftspersons, Artists, etc. to help them envision new ideas, shifting existing ideas to work more easily, and even which ideas to let go of because they lack viability. I AM a Creative, Empath, Intuitive, & a Spiritual Transformation Coach. I LOVE assisting & supporting folks in emotionally & Spiritually shifting to let go of past 'chains' to embrace new choices which lead to more and more Freedom. It has honestly just occurred to me how freakin' wonder-full it would be to assist Artists, Makers, Bakers, etc. andplll Entrepreneurs in expressing More in a healthy & abundant way. Yeah!!! New idea.

[@georgeb.wolffsohn30]

"Let Glue Dry " ! ! ! I WANT that T Shirt ! ! !

[@lcbphd]

I love this project so much! It is so adorable and stylish - and that tiny tire...priceless!!!

[@meneerstruijk5760]

So true!

[@1982pantro]

It needs a lock for the back. GREAT JOB LAURA! love it

[@nobodynoone2500]

Awesome! Some unsolicited upgrade/build ideas: 1. Less holes, more foam tape. Maybe it rains less there but everything that can leak for me seems to always. 2. Fiberglass wheelbarrow lid and/or bottom for less weight on a pedal bike or smaller ebike (these were recycled so whateva) 3. Solar panels yo! Charge while ya chill. 4. You can get some big fence hinges and wrap them around the outside of the lip, tack them where the hinge is between, hammer the edges down and weld/bolt the strap flat. Would get you a flat perimeter for a gasket, or avoid needing to notch the tub if you can't handle the full glory of the angle grinder. 5. Craigslist/online ads are full of cheap trailer axle things if planning on using on a real motorbike that can go fast. For a pedal bike I'd use bike-style wheels for the lower drag. You don't need the traction of a fatter wheel on a trailer, just consider weight and side-loading. 6. Double nut that spare tire bolt, so you can remove the spare without opening a hole in yer boot. Will make it easier to seal too. 7. Lights! My buddy always said he loved the fullness of the illuminated area that the lights he put on his trailer put out, compared to a headlamp on the bike. I always asked him why he had a trailer on a bmx. 8. It's metal, so you could totally make a BBQ trailer. I can only imagine the possibilities for an impromptu chill-n-grill. *requires beer cooler mod for full functionality.

[@musicamaiz]

to your brilliant list I would add a latch for the top (eve a bungee) and basic compartments inside the storage.

[@theorganguy]

@Nobody Noone totally have to second on point one in combination with point four; the lips of the wheelbarrows were already perfect for a gasket seal

[@DIYRandomHackery]

1- agreed, water gets everywhere, and without overhangs, this build will leak, but it was definitely a quick and simple build, so will do just fine in relatively dry weather (or just carry water resistant contents). 9- I am concerned with a rubber bushing as a hitch connection. it does not freely pivot left/right when you lean into a turn. or after a few dozen miles just break off. Most bicycle hitches look like universal joints that you see on cars which let it freely pivot left-right and up-down.

[@heiditobin4341]

Wonderful wheelbarrow trailer! Fantastic!

[@KWicksable]

What a brilliant and fascinating mind you have. How you come up with your inventions is just so cool.

[@LoboXadrez]

Muito lindo seu trabalho parabéns 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻que Deus aperfeiçoe e te dê novos projetos incríveis e único como este🙏🏻🙌🏼

[@JOHNDOE-ot3xw]

This is so cool! It's like living in the 70's

[@zaibartdp]

As soon as the second wheelbarrow went on top, i loved it! Then you built it and customized it (paint job, spare wheel, etc.) and it became a masterpiece - design + workmanship + utility - it felt so good to just watch it happen. I understand how it must have felt to do it. Much love from Portugal. P.S.: I might get into the german language because of you. 😊

[@danaowen9014]

I love the creativity you did on the trailer.

[@yuevelm.9173]

This trailer looks super awesome. A perfect fit for the bike. I believe it just misses a hook or something else, so it can't open while driving. Maybe something where you can also add a lock, so one can be less worried about ones belongings, when parking it and leaving the trailer alone.

[@micksterminator3]

I was thinking the same. A latch and and lock would be a great addition to this project.

[@garegardner6782]

WOW, and you were smiling the whole time! :)

[@richardwills7768]

That is so cool Laura, I just bought a new E-bike and was looking at bike trailers,but they are crap and overprices. So now I'll just get 2 wheelbarrows and build what I want to suit my needs.

[@kurtismckemmie4850]

I bought my trailer from bikes at work about 10 years ago for 600. NOW they are close to a thousand and over a thousand dollars. The owner told me "you are so lucky the year you purchased your trailer from us. At that time our vendor prices were going to start increasing but they put a hold on that." The trailer that I can really use holds up to 600 pounds. But it's over $1,500 with shipping and tax. I'm trying to get creative if I had a shop.

[@asotpan]

Hey Laura, you are a freakin star wish there were more talented ladies like you in the world,!

[@dorofr9782]

Ich feier es so dass du bei der Maus dabei bist. Frau, queer, Handwerk, die ein „Ich probier das jetzt einfach und trau mich, vielleicht klappt’s auch nicht. Nicht schlimm. “ vermittelt. Hammer. Beste Message für ALLE die es sehen. Danke dir! 💪🌈

[@Arthur22-s5e]

That was the coolest trailer I have ever seen if insulated and welded air tight all the way around like a icechest you could put an opening from the top and drive around selling soda's,juices,beers

[@mrtnsnp]

Congratulation on contributing to Die Maus, quite an institution. As for bike trailers: fun design for this one, although a bit heavy for a bio-bike. When loading make sure to keep the center of mass in front of the axle to avoid nasty surprises. And the trailer hitch made by "Radical Design" in the Netherlands (for the Cyclone trailer series) is probably very useful for these types of projects, and probably influences the ride of the bike less than your solution (no link because youtube appears to block that).

[@denvernow7294]

There's always a critic...

[@mrtnsnp]

@@denvernow7294 Constructive criticism. And trust me on the center of mass in front of the axle.

[@denvernow7294]

@@mrtnsnp complete agree with you on the center of mass being slightly in front of the axle. My comment was referring to your last sentence in your original comment. It came across slightly condescending towards her personal build. I doubt Laura is going to be carrying sheets of drywall or a pallet of bricks with her trailer. Her idea was ingenious to use what she did, and having it come out looking better than any other bike trailer I, and I'm sure most others, have ever seen. Sometimes you just want to make something ultra fun and mega cool without throwing orthodox mechanical engineering in the mix. Let's focus on celebrating her for what she invented instead.

[@mrtnsnp]

@@denvernow7294 Not intended as such. More a heads-up that this exists, and can be used for your own builds (all parts are sold separately). The rubber coupling Laura used gives a a stiffer coupling, and that may not ride as nicely, or be as easy to decouple. And yes, sometimes it really is just for the fun, but sometimes practicality counts, at least a little.

Yes, there will be more cool stuff coming!

[@RaysLaughsAndLyrics]

Kudos to you for your involvement with a Kinder Show...Well, Skipper Laura, the Suds Tub was a bit tippy on it's Maiden Voyage. Glad to see no TP was used or abused in the building or floating of said vessel... The "Clam Barrow" was a blast to see built and fun to see in action. Thanks much for sharing.. Best to you and yours.

[@samhenderson2947]

So Laura is still awesome! Had a giggle when the spare wheel went on.

[@jordanson66]

This is fantastic. If I may make a suggestion; think about adding a mud guard under the neck of the trailer. I believe it will keep the bike and the trailer clean. Perhaps a matching paint job to the bike.

[@AdeleMcAlear]

The trailer is fantastic! Just needs a locking latch to keep it closed. And your children's show build was wonderful. Haven't we all dreamed of having a bathtub boat?

[@Felix-fy7ki]

Wie cool ist das denn!? Perfekt und dazu noch für unendlich viele Varianten je nach Bedarf geeignet! Z.b. wasserdicht mit umlaufender Dichtung oder oben den Boden rausgeschnitten und die entstehende Kante geschützt für den Hund, gerne auch mit kleiner Windschutzscheibe....oder gar noch gefedert mit entsprechenden Gummihalterungen etc., etc. Einfach total genial der Anhänger! Super Idee und handwerklich schön ausgeführt!
