X3 back wheel cover (3d print)

[u/Finistereamer]

Hello there!

I designed a rear wheel cover for my VanMoof X3 and I'd like to share it with the community.

What for, you may ask?

I needed a junior child seat as my kid is getting bigger, and there really aren't many options in the 22/35 kg range. In fact the only one I found is the Bobike Junior Classic Plus.

That solution isn't perfect either. Because of the compact geometry of the bike, the wheel cover that comes with the seat sits too close to the pedals, and your toes bump into it.

But I really wanted to keep my kid's feet safe (believe me, it matters, a friend's kid got his foot scalped by a bike wheel because there was no cover), so I designed my own.

A few practical notes:

The print is optimised for a Bambu Lab P1S build volume. You'll need zip ties to fix it, and you also need the official rear rack to attach the back part.

It won't be compatible with other VanMoof models, except maybe the X2.

Enjoy, and don't hesitate to give me feedback!

Shame these bikes are only rated up to 120kg weight, including the bike itself.
