Here's an engineering / human factors task for the Worldbike.

 

The rack system on the Worldbike has plenty of tubing to wrap string and rope to. But it doesn't have a true load carrying system.

 

What goes into a load carrying system?

The ability to carry any of the most common loads:

  • Passengers
  • Boxes
  • Burlap sacks (will the load hit the spokes?)
  • Jerry cans
  • Empty jerry cans
  • Long objects like metal rods and tubing
  • Wide objects like bundles of sugarcane

A load-carrying system won't increase the production cost of the Worldbike, or at least not much. But it will increase the utility.
