Hennepin Crawler by Krank-Boom-Clank
Hennepin Crawler at Handcar Regatta 2008


This four wheeled pedal powered monster is called the Hennepin Crawler and created by a group called Krank-Boom-Crank . They are a kinetic industrial arts collective located in Santa Rosa, CA, who made this giant mutant vehicle from about 90% recycled material, such as:

  • Discarded lawn furniture
  • VW Bug & antique Cadillac parts
  • Old wooden furniture
  • Industrial culvert pipe & aviation wire
  • Plenty of old bike bits
  • Other minor found parts
