Fantom's Nephew
Швеция
Добавлен 30 июл 2015
The velocar, or velomobile, Fantom's Nephew is the result of my since early childhood present dream of the mythical Swedish velocar Fantom. Fantom's Nephew is according to swedish regulations a electro assisted bicycle and I use it as my daily commuter to work. With space enough in the bunk for two kids or at least four sacks of groceries you may call it a smart mobility Cargo bike!
It's Fun and practical! Also on this channel: DIY bicycle cargo trailer and related stuff.
Cykelbilen Fantomens brorson är resultatet av min alltjämt levande barndomsdröm om cykelbilen Fantom. I likhet med ca 100.000 andra köpte jag som liten knodd ritningarna från Hobbex och tvingades inse att det inte var riktigt så enkelt som jag föreställt mig. Numera gravt medelålders plockade jag upp tråden igen och har knåpat ihop ett fordon som är både praktiskt och hyfsat kul.
På den här kanalen visas filmen om cykelbilens tillkomst samt varjehande därmed relaterade företeelser såsom hemgjorda cykelkärror mm.

The VeloMower is one feasible solution on the continously growing grass-problem using an infinite energy source. (Just add candy) However, as all potent energy sources, now and then a bit tricky to control... Speaking of poor control I must apologize the moving subtitles.

2016 I began building my 4 wheel drive and 4 wheel steer pedal kart. My design was very different than anything else I’ve ever seen. I got the frame almost done before the Lyme disease I was treating in 2015 returned. It was moved to the other barn until I dismantled it almost two years ago. I’m looking for aluminum tube I can get inexpensively so I can start over on the frame.
Hur fungerar det med registrering för sådana här hemmabyggen, går den som moped eller något?
Det är en elcykel! Således inga krav på registrering etc! 😊
How much wind it needs?
Very little!
These should be commonplace. If we want to reduce emissions vehicles like this are one solution. Plus this just looks fun!
Thanks, glad You liked it! Fantoms Nephew is still upp and running and still my primary commuting vehicle. And it is still fun!😁
@@FantomsNephew any upgrades made to it since the last video you made?
@@tristanfletcher1363 Nope. During the years I’ve replaced a few parts due to wear and tear but no new features. If there will be a MK II it should be provided with suspension, at least in the rear end.
@@FantomsNephew I would love to see the build process if you ever decide to build a MK II.
@@tristanfletcher1363 Will be posted, if/when happens! 😊
Чертеж можо посмотреть?
Cute.
Thanx! Glad you liked it!
A great bike, sadly in my province of Ontario Canada this is not allowed,. Why because it has four wheels a bike can only have three wheels at most. Maybe I will build a three wheel version like British Morgan. But there are some beautiful French Cyclecars that could be revised to this design also. Maybe I could do a three wheel bike with children's training wheels on the back? You have captured that "French" Flare as well, or I guess it was always a Sweden Flare and I have been mistaken.
Thanx! Definitively a Frech flare on the rear seat/luggage compartment, that is severly inspired by Mochet. Maybe the police have some heavier criminality to look after than one wheel to many on a bicycle? …but that’s a gamble…
No the rules are what there are, so best to work within them, three wheels is what it will be. Now what I am thinking is similar to your bike (Atomic Zombie Modified) in three wheels with a lite 3mm plywood skin on spruce 19mm square framing. You will note the two dimensional fabrication that would make it easier to work on this link. Just a longer total length than this motorized Kart. The only question I have is the main tubing size and thickness? Can you provide what tube size you used for your main and steering tubes. The balance of my design I have figured out from the CyclceKart build sites. I have a mid drive Cube Kathmandu EXC E-bike so still not sure of mid drive or hub on this build, 500 watt is max we are allowed in Canada. ruclips.net/video/f7m3Q8fRNPc/видео.html
I found the answer to my Tubing question down the line in your posts You stated "Ordinary mild steel. Square tubing 40x40mm, ca 1,5mm thick." Thank you for sharing with all of us.
@@brianferguson6278 You were faster than me! Keep up the good Work! ….and check out the Atomic Zombie forum and consider to buy a plan, much information in these plans! Happy building!
@@FantomsNephew The plans are $16.95 each US Dollars, for a poor Canadian that's a lot of money. But if you purchase four different bike plans it's only $19.00 for all four, so being the "cheap" Canadian I purchased four different designs. And 700 pages later my second hand printer finished the print out. The 40 x40 x 1.5 box beam seemed too lite to myself, so I thought I would ask how you did your bike. But from what I can see it appears to be more than OK. You have great Ice, Strong Black Ice that Ice Boats love, maybe a DN iceboat in your future?
Now that’s good clean fun. And Lawrence Welk approved (Myron Floran)!
Thanx! Will forward to the car music device!😁
Got any more videos of you sailing. How well does your drop keel work. I plan on building a sailing canoe either a drop keel similar to yours
Thanx! Drop keel/daggerboard works fine, and I use it now and then for better stability when paddling aswell! A minor disadvantage is that it does not fold up if/when its not enough depth…🤔😃
Strange, very few views. How much do you want for the vehicle? Konstigt att det är så få visningar, borde vara miljoner. Hur mycket tar du för fordonet? Jag anar att den inte är till salu men vad kan du tänka dig? Tror du lagt ner en hel del arbete. Tak över huvudet är det jag saknar när jag cyklar i regn och gassande sol.
Thanx, glad U liked it! Correct - Not for sale! Det tog några år av lågintensivt arbete, det beskrivs i en annan film på min kanal! (Hade varit proffsigt att länka här, men så proffsig var jag inte…🤪). Det är mysigt med tak även i den äkta svenska vintern med 0 grader och blötsnö som vräker ner! Använder den i princip dagligen till å från jobbet.
@@FantomsNephew Dagligen? Jag vill ha den. Flevobike hade en sista blå Orca förra året, de tillverkar den inte längre. Jag ville ha den och planerade hämta från Holland men nån annan köpte den.... 😫
@@stockholm3976 Har du sett den här då? quadvelo.com Lite oklart om de börjat sälja men den verkar väldans praktisk och jag har sett många filmer på YT med rullande exemplar.

Looks verry good. how does it sail with 10 knt wind?
Thanks! I don’t remember exactly, but I would say the wind was about 10knots that day, at least in the end of the clip.😊
How fast you get her up to on the flats?
The present electric assist helps up to 21 km/h istead of allowed 25. Some kind of calibration issue there. I have not made any max speed test by muscle - To old and lazy for that! 😁

Низкий поклон Вам! Можно чертеж веломобиля?
Mega :)

I really miss your videos. I hope you post some more soon.
Thank You, Sir! Me too, but foremost I miss activities to be Utubeifyed! A present video should have been ”Painting the house” followed by ”Watching paint dry on my house”.🙃😁 …but I’m still around, and hopeing to find something more fun to document!
Fiberglass canoes are the best for modifications. One can put almost any type of rig on them. Great video and a good job.
Thanks!
No leeboard? How well does it go upwind?
Quite well, since there is a CENTERboard!😁 I used all gear from the Optimist, including the daggerboard. Convinient and effectice, but does not fold upp when running aground.😬
Какой весёлый и умелый человек, а дети тоже кравцы😊💪
how many inches is
very nice man! long time i follow this channel 2016... saluts from Argentina
Thanks! Glad U liked it!
Wow!

good
Thanx!
Hey Fantom I never saw a guy get so much fun out of something he made. PLUS this video is an excellent view of the steering in action! Go Ackerman!
Thanx! Yep, that was great fun!

Thanx!
"Spare time" heter "firabel här i Dalsbruk (Finland). Det betyder att den anställda bygger något på arbetstid med arbetsgivarens verktyg och material. Billigare så... Jag minns att jag för sådär 30 år sedan beställde ritningar till "Cylelbilen Fantom" från Hobbex. Du gissar rätt. Det blev inte att bygga den. Ha ett fortsatt bättre nytt år. H. Stig Österberg från Dalsbruk i Södra Finland
Tack, och tack det samma! Min nuvarande arbetsplats är dessvärre inte så användbar för ”firabel”, eljest praktiseras detta även i Sverige. Har jag hört. 😁 Finland har en fin tradition med cykelbilar, kanske kan du starta upp ditt projekt nu?
I want One! 😍
Thank You Sir! Glad U liked it!
There's a HUGE market for this type of vehicle, alot of people who hate driving a car but dont want to get wet on a bicycle......this is awsome! Id buy one!
Absolutely fantastic..great idea and one she will remember👌...I've been try to build one for my grandchildren but having issues lol...
Thanx! Glad you liked it, and dont give up!👍
Hi...it you velomobile still going , it is a fantastic idea and a great build
Thanx! Yep, it is still going. I still use it as my primary gotowork vehicle.
Well done!
Thank You, Sir! Longing for next summer!
Hello phantom I have watched this video many times. It is a great inspiration to me. I am going to try to build something similar using the streetfighter design from atomic zombie. I am curious to know if you experience a lot of road vibration with four wheels and no suspension?. It is indeed an elegant design. Well done! Big fan in Boston
Hello! Thanxalot,! Glad U liked it! There are some vibrations sure enough, but that depends (of course) on road quality. I am blessed with smooth (mostly asphalt) on my ordinary routes. Hence, vibrations are not an issue. On the odd shortcut or in the winter, however, one has to take it easy. (Check out my Frostbite video: ruclips.net/video/0fPBUtMRlNI/видео.html) So; If (when?) there will be a MkII I think I will add suspension to the rear wheels, which carry the better part of the weight. …but no suspension is easier to build and I do not regret the way I made it on this ride! It is more fun with a simple contraption on the road than an half built over engineerd solution in the workshop! 😁 If I could I maybe would put on fatter tires. But unfortunately (I prefer to call it) there is no room for that, the space between rear wheels and fairing is to narrow. Have that in mind in your design process! I you haven’t been there yet, I highly recommend the building forum @ Atomic Zombie. Loads of helpful people! Happy building!
Yes that is super helpful thanks for getting back to me. I have downloaded plans for the street fighter from atomic zombie which looks to be a much lower version and perhaps narrower than phantoms nephew? The original streetfighter is definitely too low and too narrow for my needs. I hope to make a four wheeled vehicle possibly with suspension .9 meter wide and 2.4 meters long. It seems that pudding fat or tires on the device will be simpler than trying to create suspension in the rear
Fun video! Thanks ;))
Thanks! Hope there will be opprtunities to shape up the bow during the winter. (However with no hope to reach the sleekness of your beautiful creation!)
@@FantomsNephew looking like a go anywhere boat already :)
Große Klasse!
Danke sehr!
Sehr cool! =)
👍
i'm quite sure that the french police would just exterminate me if they saw me in such a car... Did you ever meet the police ?
No problem with the legislation; Fantoms Nephew counts as a perfectly legal electric assisted bicycle (pedelec) in Sweden! Have met the police numerous times but they never stopped me. In some countries a pedelec can have at most three wheels but in Sweden its ok with four.
Really inspirational...fantastic workmanship, the way the world is going we will all be building lol...best wishes
Thanks! Go for it!👍
Love the idea of a sailing canoe, keep up the good work
Thanks! It´s great fun!
Another nice vehicle ☺️ One day I'll make my own electric velocar and, when I get it, I will come see you in your Nordic country !
Thanks! You are welcome!
Welcome back it has been along for years
Thanks! Yep, too much painting the house and that kind of stuff….😁
Brilliant, love the thirties vibe,
Thanx, gald U liked it!
Amazing build, thanks for sharing! Brad
Amazing plans! Thanks for sharing them and this wonderful community!
Hi Phantoms Nephew’s father Thanks for the link to the other velocar, but I still like yours the best 👍 * What is your experience with mechanical Ø160mm ? disc brakes ? * Can they make the car brake straight, without frequent readjustments of the brakes ? * Do the Ø160mm disc brake have enough stopping power ? * And what is the white fillings in the edges/corners of your faring. Maybe epoxy with some kind of fillings ? Thanks in advance 🙂 Kind regards, Kjeld :-)
Hi! Thanks for kind words! My experience with mechanical std MTB disc brakes is good! I have one disc brake on right rear wheel and a pedal brake on left rear. No problem when brakeing hard with just one of them. Enough stopping power, but gets overheated in long downhills. Then one should have more brakes! Yep; Fillings is epoxi mixed with some kind of filler (whit fluffy stuff). I have bought all my epoxi stuff from www.nilsmalmgren.se, nice guys and comprehensive downloadable guides on their homepage! (In swedish, though) Happy building!
All smile from indonesia you are attract the people be productive in spare time ..congrats
