Mark Palmquist - Fahrradanhänger & Boot

Raphael

Ein weiterer schwimmender Fahrradanhänger. Mark Palmquist hat eine interessante Konstruktion von einem zum Boot ausklappbaren Fahrradanhänger gebaut. Das besondere daran ist, dass man das Fahrrad auch mitnehmen kann. In seinen Videos zeigt er wie er es gebaut hat.

This is a bike trailer that becomes a boat that Carrie’s you and your bike back to your car. It allows you to ride up stream on a bike path and then float back down without shuttling cars around all day.

Making a folding punt boat that can be towed behind your bike upstream and then becomes a boat to float you and your bike back downstream to your car.

Testing the bike trailer mode of my Potomac River shuttle punt. You could also use this as a camping trailer.

This video shows how I load the punt into my van using a ramp. I made 2 seats that can slide forward or back along the rails allowing 2 people to use the boat at the same time. We used the punt to pick up trash from Antietam Creek. We filled up an entire contractor bag. It’s easy to get out of the boat from the bow or to reach forward to grab trash. When my son went forward, I scooted backwards to remain balanced.

I made a wave deflector for the front of my Shuttle Punt using plywood and reinforcing the interior corners with Titebond 3 fillets with paper seam tape.

Boote mit flachem Boden haben eine geringe Stabilität. Um ein solches Boot sicher nutzen zu können, sollte es breit sein und hohe Seitenwände haben. In diesem Fall ist es genau das Gegenteil. Ich empfehle es nicht.
