How to Make a Portable Bike Wash

17th April 2020

Subscribe on YouTube



In this video I’m going to show you how I built a portable bike wash, from parts that I ordered entirely online, which I can throw in the car to use after a ride. It plugs into a normal 12 volt power outlet that you’d find in most cars or vans, but can also be connected directly to a 12 volt battery.

I’ve included links to all of the parts that I used below. If the exact part that I used is no longer available, for example the power lead, I’ve included a link to a similar, suitable product.
