Utility Cycling - Cargo frontload

Hi , I did manage to rebuild this old worksman frontload the last month, build the cargo ....
Still few things needs to be done , but it got so cold outside ...[/I]

Good job. Nice looking bike. However, it looks more suited to slow rides on a factory floor than on the roads since it lacks traditional handlebars. How does the steering feel? Is it hard to control in turns? You certainly can haul a lot with it.

Cool. Nice rebuild. Looks great.

That's has to be an awesome grocery getter/dog bike.:thumb::love::p

Tks, the steering is not at all so bad , it feels actually so easy . Well , is easy also to control it in curves , but you must be slow and careful .
The limit load is 500lb .

What is the weight and is it a single speed with only a coaster brake? I do not see any evidence of a shifter or brake levers anywhere in the photos. IMO interesting but I am not sure how practical it would be for actual road use w/o gearing and better brakes. Might be fine for use around a flat industrial site or in a large warehouse though.

These bikes are commonly found and still produced in Mexico. People there use them for everything: taxis, taco carts, ice cream carts, trucks, etc. they are single speed and coaster brake

Looks like this bike for sale around me.
