Introduction
This step-by-step tutorial serves as an Open Source set of instructions for the prototype of a Community Repair Mobile - COREMO (Trailer Edition) intended for remote areas. COREMO Trailer will provide remote communities with access to repair services through the use of the #ASKotec (Access to Skills and Knowledge - open tech emergency case) and other mobile makerspaces/tool-kits.
COREMO is currently developed in Kenya by Adam Abdumalik with support from international makerspace community members.
COREMO Trailer serves as a first stage solution for future additional variations, modules and adaptations that will include:
- Use of Solar Power (Soldering, Charging, etc.) through the addition of solar panels
- Solar electric mobility
- Scaling production, decentralised and Open Source implementation

Étape 3 - Welding the metal frame
Étape 4 - Detail: Building the Coupling
- connection between the bicycle and the trailer
Étape 5 - Building the Side Frames
Étape 6 - Cut the wooden Side Panels
Étape 7 - Detail: All connectors for wheels and frames
- For Side Frames
- For Wheels
- For Strap-Connectors
Étape 8 - Painting the Frame
Étape 9 - Assembling the Frame
- All Walls and Panels and Wheels for test fitting and preparing for panel painting
Étape 10 - Finishing the Side Panels
- Paint the side panels to give it some character
- Fix the panels with Zip Ties
- add your first tools (e.g. an #ASKotec)
- final touches to the Frame/Trailer
Étape 11 - Assebling the final Trailer
- Attach the Coupling
