if you fall off i take no responsibility for any injuries you get but i will do my best and not
cause you to fall off oh god don't do that
this is an omnium minimax wi-fi cargo bike a cargo bike is a bike made for carrying cargo
or dogs in this case which are also cargo did you hear that bella jimmy said you're a cargo
one of the distributors for this brand which is omnium is a a bike shop in london east london
called paradise one of the owners of paradise cycle he has an omni and cargo bike with a dog
on the front of it he's also a distributor for this brand it just made sense to have a chat with
him and see what we could do we couldn't get stock of the official e-bike so they have one where the
frame has got like that big hole in it you know where they put like a bosch motor in so he was
like well we'll get a standard one and i'll do a conversion and we're like yeah screw it let's just
see what you can do you know what you're doing the mini max which is what this is means that it's a
cargo bike with a smaller front end they have a proper cargo bike which is like even longer again
and the wi-fi i think it's wi-fi basically means that it can handle mountain bike tyres and mud
guards 2.1 inch tyres and mud guards on this bike with still tons of clearance so that's what the
wi-fi does a lot of the spec on the build was put together by james at paradise cycles just because
he knew what he was doing we basically just gave him a brief we want to be able to commute
to work it's about 10k each way it's going to be hilly obviously it's only going to be with a
dog so it's not a huge heavy load what he did off the back of that was made sure we've got
really powerful brakes because we're going to be going down some really steep stuff and that the
spec of the e-motory thing was suitable and that the battery has enough charge to hold
oh you know peddle me do this around london you can order it like an uber a pedal me bike like
this and just get in and be taken to your destination but i think they have a more
comfortable seat well it might be that they have a seat rather than like some poles that you're
not meant to sit on and you're resting your like neck directly on the pole which is then being like
thrown around by the wheel doesn't sound very comfortable does it we want to be able to commute
to work with bella and like the best option especially when you live where we are because it's
hilly um was to get something that has an e-motor and with it being a cargo bike rather than a
trailer or a backpack it just means that it's like much more stable and safer for us and for bella
yeah it feels really safe but you say that now now you've found worked out how to sit on the thing
and i've worked out how to not tip over you're pretty chill though aren't you what the [ __ ]
so the frame is the extra small in the color they call it blurple which is like a blue purple flip
thing with glitters and stuff it's an awesome painting it is pretty cool isn't it yeah
the motor is made by buff baffan which are like the go-to illegal e-bike motors that you can get
but they don't have to be you can spec them so they're not illegal like this
one uh the motor is actually a two no a 750 watt motor which is absolutely bonkers
but it's not actually running at 750 it's about 400 watts you know you see those like
delivery riders where they're not actually peddling and they've actually got throttles
that's what you can do these you can get a throttle for it so you don't even need to pedal
this is not official advice do not do this well no it's cause it's not advice it's illegal at least
in this country probably not in some countries no one does illegal stuff no no one the battery is
absolutely massive it's got a custom 3d printed battery case uh which is quite hard to see it's
actually tucked under the cargo a bit but that one of the reasons it took quite a while for us to get
this together is because they literally designed this battery box to build this bike it's so [ __ ]
cool we'll say it's again it's just something they recommended sentient gnar schwalbe tyres on
front and back uh no particular other reason than schwalbe do a tire that's like got the
most insane puncture protection ever so you would probably never really want them on a road bike
because they're way four kilos probably just for the tires two inch tire on the back schwalbe two
inch tire on the back a marathon e plus and then the front one is a 20 inch wheel and it's got a
2.15 inch tire on it which is a schwalbe big ben plus again i've just said we don't want
nobodies it can fit nobody tires we're like we don't need knobblies we need a bit of grip and
something that's not going to puncture shifters are shimano dior i didn't see any point in us
going like really high end because you just do weight saving which is definitely not a goal on a
30 kilo cargo e-bike you don't really care about saving weight on group set rear mech is a shimano
slx because it can handle a big gear ratio because we wanted to be able to get it up any hill we
wanted say your battery runs out you still want to be able to make sure you can get home chain set
is a company called lecky i know absolutely nothing about them at all it was what they
expect to make sure the chain line fits that's kind of cool it's a really good looking chainsaw
i got red on it must be good i think it's brands that specifically do like e-bike
drive chain things for these kind of setups so it's 32 tooth chainring 1146 tooth cassette
so even without the electric motor the range on it is just like
you you'd ride it up pretty much anything even if the motor cut out and that was kind of what
we were working on the basis of what happens if you get stuck the motor fails your battery runs
out something happens you still want to be able to actually ride it rather than have to just kind of
yeah throw it in a bush and give up so the magura four pot brakes does
that mean that's is that like a mountain bike thing it's like a double break almost
like two sets of pistons and then a much longer pad so more contact to the more contact level
that makes sense it works unbelievably well would definitely be overkill on a road bike
but considering this weighs probably like i don't know 20 25 kilos unloaded if you're going down a
steep hill you definitely want to make sure you can stop sentient which i think the people which
made our wheels also made this weird conversion thing to the front which i think is known as a
honda bar underbar yes one of the things because it's for a bike the things we've adapted we've
actually got an extender plate on the front uh which makes the cargo section longer it then
has a custom made canvas thing which goes across it so that there's like support area for the dog
and then we then have a custom three-point harness when bella's on the bike in her harness there's a
clip on the front of the chest and then a clip on her back which are like set lengths she can't go
in any direct she can move freely but not a huge range of motion so she can't fall off the side she
can't jump off the front she can't come too far backwards but she has enough like freedom that
she doesn't feel like she's restricted whilst on the bike um so that was another thing that
paradise sorted out was basically like specking and custom making all of that stuff so it's just a
mad thing just for dogs really this is said 3d printed battery case they've like sealed
it in everything so it's fully waterproof it's bad when you think that's the size of the battery it's
properly hench isn't it i think it's a perfect example of why e-bikes are or can be car
replacements rather than bike replacement this basically means you don't have to drive to work
anymore because that's the thing you can basically spec the cargo bit however you want to use it so
if you wanted a seat on it you can put a seat on it for a kid if you wanted to carry your shopping
on it you could put a crate on it phase two of today atticus have released some of their new kit
for summer so we're going to take some photos of it so we're heading to the cafe via a bicycle ride
it's way nicer riding with you when you're on that bike what why because it's easy for you yes
to end today's video you have six seconds to advertise your new kit go we have new kit now
