Necessity really is the mother of invention, as an Indian man created a ‘social distancing motorbike’. At least someone’s being productive during the Coronavirus lockdown.
A 39-year-old Indian school drop-out took apart a bicycle and re-engineered it so that he can take his daughter around.
“Now I can ride with my eight-year-old daughter while maintaining a safe distance,”

Partha Saha’s ‘social distancing motorbike’ has a one-meter gap between the rider and the passenger. Here’s to safe travels amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Who would’ve thought adding an engine and affixing a rod slightly longer than a meter to connect the wheels would be this man’s calling.
Partha cut the bicycle in two before adding the rod to get the desired distance.
THe best part? This motorbike is eco-friendly. This electric motorbike uses a 750 Watt, a battery of 48 volts to generate power instead of a petrol engine.
According to AFP, this Agartala native, in the northeastern state of Tripura, realized that the Coronavirus wasn’t about to go away anytime soon. Life must go on but the Coronavirus lockdown in India was getting in Partha’s way. So he got crafty.
The TV repair mechanic used his savings to create this ‘social distancing motorbike’ to keep his daughter safe from the virus. He didn’t want his daughter to take the school bus, so he created this bike for her.
“I didn’t want her to take the school bus as it would be crowded.”
