Seen it before. Lol.. Don't see the point it in really

 

[Gmeister]

No me either thought it was funny though lol

Bless... he comes from bristol so say no more /emoticons/biggrin.png

It's not as daft as you may think though if you don't own or want to use a van or car to get about

 

[CNS-southwest]

It's a lot cheaper than running a car or van lol

 

[chip]

Can't watch it at the mo but think I get the gist. I guess if you have a compact local round it could work

 

[harunh]

thats good

I am seriously considering this as my work is within a mile radius so an old bloke like me can handle it /emoticons/biggrin.png

Not what the chap has done but a custom made bike with roughly a 350l tank. /emoticons/biggrin.png

Haha

You'll need some HUGE size legs for that

 

[doug atkinson]

I need to build up my leg muscles. /emoticons/biggrin.png

These bikes do exist but not here in the UK. However need to see what the payload is and if they are still manufactured.

Anyone been to Southern Africa will probably know what I'm talking about /emoticons/wink.png

Motor-bike doug?

 

[doug atkinson]

No its an actual bike with a big box in the front which could probably hold 350 litres of water

 

[Belfastcleaning]

Good luck with that lol

Hi Doug

They where very popular in Zambia and Zimbabwe and used by icecream vendors. They would be filled with dry ice and icecreams and pedalled around the estates ringing a bell to attract the youngsters.

You would also see the clever ones who would park under a tree in the shade at a busy spot selling his wares with very little energy.

The milkman also used to use a similar thing to deliver milk early in the morning. The dairy would have conveniently place lockup boxes and the milkman would come back to these to replenish his cart and drop off the empties he had collected.

I doubt that they could carry 350 litres through - far too heavy. I had a trailer that had 375 litres when full and that would have been possible to push around with any ease. Holding that weight on a hill would also have been a no go.

In South Africa the africans tended to us them as bread delivery bikes or shop keepers for delivering small amounts of produce to local customers.

Recommended to someone who had lost his licence for drink related issues on another forum once

Yip that's them Spruce. As a kid I was more excited about the ice than the ice cream /emoticons/biggrin.png

Even if it could carry 250 litres that would be enough. It could only be used on flat roads and not on hills.
