Sharath Naik, a second PUC science student at SMS PU College of Brahmavar, has fitted the vehicle with two tyres in the front and one at the back. The vehicle gives a mileage of thirty kilometers.
He has named the vehicle ‘Trio’.
Speaking to reporters, Sharath said he has a passion for science and is keenly interested in developing models. Altogether, the experiment cost him Rs 10,000, saved from his pocket money bit by bit.
He has used Chetak scooter’s 100 cc engine, tyres of Scooty, a small metal sheet and some other items from a scrap shop. He desires that such vehicles should be used by soldiers. "As the soldiers have to carry lot of luggage, I want to do some changes in the vehicle according to their requirement," he said. It is a different matter whether soldiers will use his vehicle but his concern for them is praiseworthy.
His experiment has been appreciated by all, especially by his parents who were sceptical at first but are now beaming with pride seeing their son use his pocket money for a creative purpose. "We wish that the vehicle may come to the market and be useful for everybody," they said.
