Another simple model for → Ikego. A storage box, built mostly from existing parts we already had. We just added two new parts (all info below the pictures).

  • You can have it with or without wheels, with or without a lid and with or without a handlebar, as shown in the pictures.
  • The board on the bottom rests only on the nuts of the bolts that go into the side of the VITO box.
  • The beads on the lid are there to prevent the lid from sliding away.
  • If the VITO box is well made, you can even sit on it. It is basically also a stool.
  • Wheel assembly: See the picture below. The wheel runs on 2 M6 nuts. The order is: nut|washer|box|washer|nut|nut|washer|head of bolt. This is not very elegant, but it works. But it can easily be improved. If you want to go with the solution below you should replace the nuts with lock nuts.
