A pedal-powered ibis-themed DJ chariot has made its debut at a Brisbane street party, thanks in part to the handiwork of a Lord of the Rings set builder.

A group of mates funded the project, which spanned 10 months, and involved the use of 3D printer parts, merging four bicycles into one and constructing a DJ station resembling council bins.

The idea began after the Kurilpa Derby in November.

Friends Dana Hain and Tim Marwick had built a giant water rat for the parade, because the rodent is native to the Kurilpa peninsula.
