Chinese Bike Mod Floats on Water
Posted in: bike, Hacks, Mods and DIY, Today's Chili, Transportation
For bike enthusiasts, ain’t no mountain high enough and now ain’t no river wide enough. A Chinese man has created an amphibious bike that travels as well on land as it does on water.
A few large empty water bottles and a touch of madness is all it takes to do this mod. The bike uses eight gallon water bottles attached to a metal frame to keep it afloat. Paddles on the wheels allow it to be maneuvered on water. On road, the water gallons are pulled up and it becomes just another bike zipping along.
The bike made by Li Weiguo was shown in the Hubei province in China. It cost around 20,000 yuan or $300o to develop, says Inhabitat.
While, for now, it may be a novelty, Li Weiguo is seriously looking for a manufacturer for his invention. Any takers?
