A functional and stylish cargo bike box

René wanted to breathe new life into his old cargo bike with a beautiful renovation of the box. This project combines functionality with style, perfect for daily errands or transporting children.

Construction and Materials

Using dark brown birch concrete plywood as the base, René crafted the sides and bottom of the box. This sustainable wood is ideal for its water resistance and strength. The box has a sleek, modern look with black cladding that contrasts beautifully with the natural colors of the wood.

Location of The Box

The cargo bike sits proudly on the sidewalk in front of René's house, perfectly positioned for a quick trip to the market. Thanks to its sturdy frame and durable materials, this bike is not only an eye-catcher but also a reliable companion in the city.

Unique Features

What makes this renovation truly special is the use of custom-sawn wood, allowing each plank to fit perfectly. Thanks to TOSIZE.lu, René was able to order the precise dimensions he needed, resulting in a professionally finished product without any cutting or pasting.

The Benefits of Do-It-Yourself

By working on it himself, René created a unique cargo bike box, tailored to his precise needs and preferences. With a choice of different materials and complete control over the design, it's not only a personal creation but also budget-friendly.

Style: Urban Functionality

With its modern, functional design, René's cargo bike adds a touch of urban flair to every ride. The understated color scheme is perfect for those who prefer a sleek, organized look.

This is not only durable but also water-repellent, ideal for Dutch weather conditions. It offers a combination of durability and aesthetics that's hard to match.

Phenolic Plywood Birch antislip

For extra grip and safety in wet conditions, the base is made of Phenolic Plywood Birch antislip. This makes the container not only safe but also easy to clean, ideal for a family on the go.
