Chandigarh Class 10 Student Builds A Motorcycle From Discarded Parts Of Other Bikes

People in India have always been known to assemble components of one vehicle onto another and create a unique amalgamation altogether aka Jugaad. A common example of this are the motors attached onto rickshaws and cargo tricycles. None of such examples though are even remotely close to what Gaurav from Chandigarh has managed to create. A class tenth student, Gaurav has come up with his own motorcycle made completely from scrap material.

The motorcycle runs on petrol and is able to cover up to 80 km on a litre of fuel. This is not Gaurav¡¯s first attempt at creating a vehicle from scratch. In an interaction with ANI, Garuav reveals that three years ago, he managed to create an electric bike using scrap material. It was the lack of speed on the e-bike that made him convert it to petrol.

A look at the bike and one can see how Gaurav has managed to put together parts from different sources to come up with the motorcycle. The front fork uses a tyre from a bicycle, while the rear half of the vehicle seems complete from a motorcycle, including the chassis, engine, transmission and the wheel. Gaurav has even managed to put on rear view mirrors and lights on the motorcycle.

If not for the road, the one-of-a-kind motorcycle is fast doing the rounds on the Internet. People have been praising Gaurav for his efforts and contemplating the fact that a class tenth student was able to come up with such a vehicle on his own.

There is, of course, a safety concern associated with such self-built vehicles. But in this case, even if Gaurav does not ride it, the mere fact that a class tenth student was capable enough of salvaging discarded parts in such a productive manner is a thing to marvel.
