Finishing My Super Compact Electric Cargo Bike

Phil Vandelay Short 6 months ago

Description

In the second and final part of this build series, we're going to finish the "Vandelax CCX" - my super compact electric cargo bike design that features a folding cargo basket. This part covers everything that's left: Building the folding basket and its joints, various other additions to the frame as well as the final assembly, electrical wiring and testing the bike.
