It is beyond fascinating how creative people in our country can be. It is even more inspiring and promising to see young minds display their talent for the benefit of others.
I came across a motivational tale of a 16-year-old boy who successfully created an electric bike from scrap materials for a price of just Rs 15,000. India is known for its spirit of ‘jugaad’. It is the ability to devise effective solutions for any given problem with the bare minimum resources or utilizing the components which are at disposal. That is exactly what this young boy was able to achieve by using scrap materials to create an electric bike. Electrification is the name of the game at present as big companies are pivoting their businesses to achieve carbon neutrality. While that will take a long time, startups and local talent are doing what they can to contribute.
16-Year-Old Makes Electric Bike From Scrap
The details of this post come from thememebharat on Instagram. It captures the young boy, Rizwan, with media reporters. Needless to say, the boy has become a local celebrity. He showcases the electric bike he created from scrap materials. This case took place somewhere in Bihar. The boy mentions that he calls this EV Z+. In fact, it just took Rs 15,000 to build this ingenious product. Note that I am considering Rs 15,000 as a minor expenditure because EVs have astronomical price tags. I understand, that it is still a big deal for a whole bunch of the population in the country. In any case, further information about this electric bike is even more fascinating.
The caption of this post clarifies that it takes 2 hours to charge the battery of this electric bike completely. Once done, the users will be able to squeeze out a range of 50 km on a single charge. That is more than enough for regular city commutes and users can go without charging for days. Rizwan is proud of his invention and even offers a glimpse to the viewers while riding it. The bike looks fairly regular and it even gets a digital key. Only if the key is near the bike can one be able to switch it on. Hence, it is a crucial safety feature to prevent theft.

Also, people can draw motivation from the lives and acts of people who have achieved something truly great and remarkable. This latest case of Rizwan from Bihar is a prime example of that. Let us spread such stories more to counter the ill effects of social media. This will showcase how such instances help elevate society and create a positive impact on the next generation.
