With 2 peddlers an e-tandem should work quite well....

 

I thought about tandem and cargo bikes many times.

 

Unfortunatly I live on the first floor of the tiny flat and there is no way I can put a long bike in.

 

I can park it on the street, and that's what I plan to do on some bike, but it has to be a cheap <£100 bike

installed my folding footpegs!

 

Next step, extent the seat post!

Looks like it keeps falling over cwah, maybe you should also fit a stand;)

Unfortunately looks too much like a motorcycle (mine still look like a bike) and doesn't have rear suspension. So a no go unfortunately

I still have my kickstand purchased a while ago that've never fit my dahon:

I'm thinking to get a welder to adjust the stand, extend it where it needs to be.

 

I found these 2 welders:

Any idea which one would be best for long term and my type of project? One is 50% cheaper and seems to be the same as the other one but I may be missing something

The first is a gas less mig.a mig with gas would be better.The second one is a arc welder,which is cheaper to run(you only buy the rods,gasless mig wire is expensive.and a mig with gas you need wire and gas.)A mig is easier to use for a beginner. It is hard to weld thin steel with a arc welder.

Thanks what would you recommend me? Ideally it needs as compact and light as possible because I tend to move a lot and go to flat.

 

Then if it can weld aluminium or stainless it would be better but not a pre requisite. I need something strong and light for my bike

Mig with gas.you can buy different wire and gas for alumium.none are cheap.I would not try to weld in a flat.lots of practice on scrap before welding something you want.watch some videos on welding.

Since I have a folding bike I realise that I almost never fold it. So I really need a compact bike rather than a folding one.

 

And no suspension at my speed in london's road is a bad idea I think

So the more expensive one is the best? Nothing better to compare for a newbie like me?

Mig with gas around £180,Can't see a cheaper one,if you could find one about £140 with a free bottle of gas and a reel of non gas wire and a reel of gas wire..don't forget a grinder with thin cutting discs and sanding discs.
