Bicycle Sidecar

May 6th, 2005 by Guitar Ted

When I was growing up in the Philippines, my brother and I rode around town with his BMX and a Sidecar that was attached by a few nuts and bolts. I’ve been looking around for a side car that I can put on one of my bikes at home. But so far, this is the closest thing I’ve come across.

I am looking for one too. There is one for sale at Chariotcarriers.com but I want one that can hold more than 50 lbs.
Alternatively Check out xtracycle.com, these are fantastic.

I’m also looking for one to take my daughter who is physically disabled for bike rides around the sea wall in vancouver BC, does anyone know where I can get one near here ??

look up a shop called “bicycle authority” in Carson City, NV. I believe he can get a bmx style sidehack simular to the picture on this site. (much cleaner) They are not cheep. But the quality looked top notch and from the looks in the pic I saw it should be able to hold more than 50 lbs. I’m a bike junkie and I plan on trying to get my hands on one soon!
Hope this helps….

I am looking for a sidecar to attach to a curry electric bike. My elderly father would like to take my elderly mother for a bike ride. Any suggestions?

I’e been looking for a side car forever. I grow up in the Philippines too and remember riding one as a child with my cousin. I live in New York now and I’ve seen a few in Central Park but they are attached from behind. I want something on the side.

I am going to build a sidecar and am looking for any pertinant information on the neccessary flexibility of attachment so the bike can tilt back and forth with pedal strokes without the tendancy to lift the wheels and lose traction just when you need it on a steep hill.

If anyone has any information on this subject it would be much appreciated.

One would think that someone would make a sidecar rickshaw attachment for a standard bike.

Just search the internet for “Padyak”. Call back some of your friends in the Philippines and ask them to send you one. I bet it would be cheaper doing it in the Philippines and send it to the United States.

BMX is the bicycle of choice due to its sturdiness and ability to withstand the stress - a one person bike could carry up to five. BMX bikes are mass produced.

The sidecar is fabricated using the 20″ wheels with steel rims and thicker radials. 26″ wheels is a rarity. Most 26″ wheels came from China and is made of aluminum. This could not handle the load of two or more persons. If you wish to build a padyak using 26″ wheels, be sure the bike frame is made of steel. It would be heavier but being an independent bike is its secondary role for being a tractor.

The sidecar wheel is aligned to the rear wheel of the bicycle. Remember, the smaller the wheel, the nearer is the center of gravity to the ground.

Depending on the country you are in, the sidecar is placed where the passenger could easily alight to the sidewalk.

In the Philippines, these sidecars were never mass produced. Instead, they mass produced the sidecar builders.

Spherical rod ends work great to make a hard but flexible mount.

I am in the process of building a 20″ bmx sidecar. The idea is to build four units and use them as a feature event at race days just for the hell of it. By looking at various pictures of previously built bikes it seems that the frame is constructed of 25mm tubing. Is there any spec with regards to wheel spacing and overall width or is it just a thumbsuck? Any general dimensions would be greatly appreciated. I will send all my tech info as the project evolves.
18 Wayne on Mar 7th, 2008 at 2:35 pm

does anyone know how to contact Gary Littlejohn? Apparently he is a legend with regards to building bmx sidehacks.
19 Christopher on Mar 18th, 2008 at 12:44 pm

I am a fan of sidehacks, but I cannot afford to buy one, and I don’t have the skills to make one yet, but it will happen.

The only dealer of BMX sidehacks that I am aware of is Patriot bicycles.

Dear sidecar friends,

It took me some time to build it, but look here to view some pictures of our new full suspension sidecar with disc brakes on all wheels and a passenger contributing to power the rear wheel.
