By the looks of it, He has a custom BMX Y cable splitting the front brake lever into 2. One side goes into his OG brake, the other side has the EZ split you see him screw on. When the lever is pulled, the cargo caliper would stop the bike, but the original caliper would just open and close as if you pressed the brake without a wheel / disc.
It's connected to the bike via the front fork and the bottom bracket. The bottom bracket uses a U-Bracket similar to the ones found on Mid-Drive e-bikes that use the bottom bracket as a large bolt to hold everything in place. once installed it would not hinder the operation and would barely be noticeable. I'm assuming this bracket has some sort of quick release or thru axle to attach the cargo frame.
The front fork mounts to a secondary headset with fork mounts instead of a stem and a cargo steering linkage instead of a fork. All of that connects to the actual front fork with an arm. This causes handling to be nearly identical to the original bike with the exception of wheel base. The only thing that confuses me about this is how does it account for the rake of various forks? There would need to be some sort of rotating hinge in order to prevent binding when the angles don't match
And that's the story about how I spent 4 hours watching a 20 second video instead of sleeping
Because then it would slide all over the bed and get scratched, but seeing how he strapped his bike in also made me cringe. Please buy one of these.
What if you get one of these, and attach/weld it to the BOB. Then all you need to do is remove the front wheel, and clamp down the bike to the mount. If the trailer is low enough, then I don't see you having any issues.
