I want to make a bike trailer for transporting donor bikes/junk/furniture/anything/a person. And then I thought it would be silly not to make it able to be a camper in the future too.
Well i found an old sun lounge with good dimensions and i like the idea of it being fold up... but it's just riveted together and I'm assuming that is not sturdy enough even though this is made to hold a person's weight.
Opinions?
If i have to strengthen and cut and modify the frame, I'm thinking maybe i just buy some square aluminum tube and build a nice strong and light ladder frame (bolted not welded). Do the trailer wheels take the weight of the frame well enough so that it doesn't need to be so light?
Well when i put the wheels next to, it looked like the ultimate comfort wheelchair. (Oh with a hole in the foot area for pedals you say?)And now I'm not sure if that's also kinda what I'm making - a bike trailer/ stand alone big wheelchair..
I always do this, try to combine concepts and possibly make 4 poor things rather than 1 good.
Haven't figured out how exactly I intend to attach the wheels either.
