Sidecar coffee cart

prestonpaul · 02-15-2013, 10:39 PM

Spotted this enterprising fellow at a field day in Seymour (Australia) today. Obviously combining two of his passions is working out well for him, I couldn't get near for all the people crowding around to buy coffee! He had it well set up, with an iPad on the bars and a change holder above the instruments. I am guessing the bike is an SR500 but not 100% sure. Definitely a single.
I thought it was a great idea :)

Nice, and He enjoys the commute too

SR500 running a dusting's replica chair.

Neat setup

I take it that the pic' below shows his trailer or what gets put on it ?

prestonpaul · 02-15-2013, 11:32 PM

Didn't see a trailer anywhere but I would assume there is one for the cooler and umbrella and other parifinalia to go on

Very cool! I'd love to see how he packs it all up.

My wife and kids were at that Farming Expo while I was slaving away at work and they never thought to mention there was a guy selling coffee out of an Outfit

I did a bit of searching and it seems the owner has made a really good website with a run down on his Outfit and business

Neat, there was a guy at the mega Harley dealer here with a similar outfit but on a Harley trike. He was selling coffee, hot dogs, etc and doing a brisk business.

There's a pic on Sams website under "events" at the Sprout market and it shows his trailer. (not a great pic, just a tail end shot)

Cool idea and set up.
I'm pretty sure between the large hack, coffee making paraphenalia and 100 liters of water in the sidecar , sporty riding is out of the question.
Someone in the U.S. should do this.

I don't suspect he goes anywhere in a hurry when fully loaded & with the trailer on, but it's a fun concept none the less and he ws certainly popular on the day

You missed a good day, sort of like a country show (fair for our us brethren) with more of the stuff I like and none of the stuff I don't.

The former USA importer of the Urals CMSI made a couple of units like this that fit into the Ural cargo sidecar. We built a fleet for selling ice cream www.coolcyclesicecream.com and are now building an ice cream vending rig around a BMW 650 Scooter.
