Indeed, this is not exactly the best-looking Beetle out there, but it gets the job done and this makes it great. There are multiple issues with this DIY design, but this solution might be the simplest, cheapest and easiest for short-distance traveling.

Probably the biggest safety concern is driving in strong crosswind: extra care and a skilled driver are needed to prevent this contraption from flipping, but things are doable, nevertheless.

The other thing is hoping nothing goes wrong with the Beetle engine, as access to the engine compartment means unloading the bike. And if this happens out in the fields or on the highway, you're "expletive word".

Oh, and then it's how one gets the bike up here, but that's most likely another very interesting story by itself. Anyway, this is really cool!
