Saw on the street in Cairns Australia.
Owner was a metal fabricator. Bike featured machined parts, aluminium tig welding, cable steering. Used it twice a day with his dog on the front. Chatted to him about the difficulties of welding aluminium with the arc shape, electrode stick out, melting temps etc. Nice fellow.

Of all the ways to do that, that’s definitely one of them.
Is that a trike? And an Ebike? Somehow the chaos is somewhat well balanced… probably gets ridden like it should. I say bravo
Using a downhill frame is wild. I had that that aurum, not exactly a great bike to pedal around town.
Does the slingshot method work that high up? I would love to see this in motion.
No greater love hath a man for his dog than a heavily modified e-x-cargo bike.
This is bananas and I love it to bits
Fucking BRAVO
Zoomed in on, and thumbed around on, both photos. Still not fully sure why I’m looking at.
Fkin’ rad! 🤘
will you post a video of this in action?
Also, the mindf* when i was trying to parse what was being shown in the image. It looked like a square of grass and two magical unicycles.
Now this is X B I K I N G.
Removing the downtube and leaving the top tube just cantilevered out there is a bold choice. Hope this guy doesnt weigh too much.
What’s with the back cushion type looking bulge on the handlebars?
So many…things. ETA: with that seat position does this technically make it a recumbent, downhill, cargo e-trike?
