I finally got around to building the box.

I'm going to cut out a rectangle about 12" long and 4.5" deep from the top of the box on each side to make it easier for kids (and dogs; I remember having to lift a 70lb dog into the old cargo bike box) to get into and out of the box. If this is a bad idea for some reason (maybe a swinging door is better? Maybe this will make it wetter/colder in the box if we get a rain cover in the future?), tell me now. #CargoBike #BikeTooter #Cetma #Erie #Cats

Close-up of the side of the bike box; it is not yet stained/sealed plywood. A pencil marking shows where the cut-out will be (one on each side of the box); a rectangle along the top of the box with rounded edges. Along the top of the box, a black cat tail is popping out. In the background, a cardboard box with the text "ebike motor" on it.
Top-down view of the inside of the bike box. The bike platform is black, and the orange bike frame is just barely visible. There's a 1x4 extending the bottom of the bike box past the frame, making it wider than the bike itself (the box is 32in wide, while the bike itself is something like 26in wide). A black cat sits in the box, cleaning/biting at its toes.
View from the back of the bike. The rear Enviolo CVT hub is visible, along with a black fenders and black rear tire. The bike frame is orange, and the black mid-drive motor and clear-ish black battery that's mounted behind the box on the platform is visible. The sides of the box extend past the orange platform frame by 3-4in on each side, and also drop below it. A black cat's head sticks out of the box.
