Hello,
I’m going to cut up a couple of old bikes and wood them together into a Christiana-style cargo trike.
I’ve found surprisingly little info to go on:
Does anyone have anything to add?

No, but I want one 
Would have to lock it up outside though, which would be a shame.

I’ve nearly electrified a tricycle
Laura Kampf on YouTube does lots of bike hacks if you’ve not seen her already. Not super detailed builds in terms of theory but lots of variety and some neat ideas which might help?

Another question…
If I were to consider adding electric assist, should I be looking at something like this?
You might want to consider rider comfort little more?

Not much progress to report - I’m mostly staying in London and home-schooling Luke.
I’ve ordered a TSDZ2 mid-drive and a battery and I think I’m going to stop welding until the motor arrives so I don’t weld anything that gets in the way of the motor.
Mid-drive is Defo best for a cargo bike.
I was going to say you need a decent battery especially if the bike is heavy.
Be interesting to see what range you get…
If you want it road legal, worth looking at some EBike lights connects to the controller/battery. I have some that are up to 72v and are v bright…

One of the reasons I liked the TSDZ2 was that it seems really straightforward to install.
Good to know I know someone who might be able to help if it all goes wrong though!
