3-Wheeled "DumpCart" Made Out Of Bicycle Parts
 ✖  |
My nieces and nephews have a lot of fun riding in this 3-wheeled ędump cart' that I made out of bicycle parts and scrap metal. The cart has bicycle handlebars with a single wheel on front and a pair of bicycle wheels on back. The frame supports a wooden box that's open on front and has a slide-up tailgate on back. To dump the box I simply slide the tailgate up and lift the front end of the box. A hitch on front allows me to pull the cart behind a 4-wheeler or go-cart.
With the large bicycle wheels the cart pulls very easily. Or, kids can sit inside the box and ride the cart downhill by themselves. To slow down, the driver operates a brake lever on one side of the box. Both wheels brake at the same time which makes the rig safe to drive downhill. The bicycle handlebars and front wheel are clamped onto the frame and can be quickly removed or replaced. (Neil Ohler, Box 127, Stavely, Alberta, Canada T0L 1Z0 ph 403 549-2480)
