19-year-old Abdullah Asad of Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh is in discussion these days. He has made a 6 seater cycle. Industrialist Anand Mahindra has also become its fan. He tweeted and wrote- ‘With some changes, this vehicle can be used at the global level. I am always surprised to see the invention of transport in rural areas. Once charged, this cycle runs up to 150 kilometers.
Asad says, “I have been innovating since the age of 8. When I was 13, I made a Tullu motor from a car battery with a remote. In the coming time, there is a dream of making solar energy and battery operated plane. It will take about one and a half years to make it. How did the idea of making a 6 seater bicycle come about? In response to this question, Asad says that after watching Ajay Devgan’s film ‘Golmaal’, he felt that such a cycle should be made.

Idea came from rising prices of diesel and petrol
Asad told that I am a resident of Mubarakpur Lohra. Parents are Unani doctors. After passing inter, I studied ITI from Azamgarh. Now doing BCA from Delhi. Since childhood, there is a desire in my heart to do something different. That’s why I keep doing something or the other.
Abdullah Asad himself has designed this cycle.
The way the prices of diesel and petrol are skyrocketing, it is becoming very difficult for the common man. Seeing the problems of the people, I thought that why not make such a thing, so that people can go from one place to another with less expenditure. After thinking a lot, the idea of making this bicycle came to my mind. Then I started working on it. It took a month to make this cycle. About 12 thousand rupees were spent in making the cycle. After being made, this cycle gets fully charged in an expenditure of 8-10 rupees, then runs for 150 kilometers.
Used these things to make bicycle
The cycle runs at a speed of 60 kmph. Once fully charged, it covers a distance of 150 km.
I have used the old scooter part in the cycle. Apart from this, two iron pipes of 10 feet each, 6 seats of the cycle, and pieces of iron (funti) have been used to keep the feet. 1000 watt hub motor and 1000 watt controller have been installed. Along with this, a lithium battery is installed. The hub motor is chain less. That’s why there is no problem of chain and maintenance. Before this also I have made many projects. Made a pedal cycle 2 years ago, which runs for 60 kilometers once charged.

Asad tells that 10 months ago I had converted KTM Duke bike into an electric bike. This work took about 3 months. For this, I had bought parts worth Rs 60,000 from China, including a 4,000 watt motor. For this, I had ordered online with the help of a friend of mine. For this, 14 thousand rupees were paid for shipping and 18 thousand rupees for customs. After taking out the engine of the bike, I fitted the motor in its place. Once fully charged, this bike covers a distance of 25 km at a speed of 45 km. If the bike is run at a speed of 60, then it goes up to 100 km.
My dream is to make a solar energy and battery operated plane
Asad said that now I want to make a plane that runs on solar energy and battery. It will take about a year and a half to make it. With this, people will be able to travel by plane at a lower cost. I am busy preparing for it. It feels good to see my work being appreciated the way it is today. In the coming days, we have a plan to make this cycle commercial and take it to the people at a low cost. With this, people can get the facility of commuting at low cost.
Asad’s cycle can seat 6 people at a time.
Father said – son from innovative since childhood
Asad’s father Mohammad Abdullah told that his son makes new things since childhood.
Asad’s father Mohammad Abdullah told that my son Asad is of technical mind since childhood. He keeps making new things since childhood. Now he has made such a cycle, which is being praised everywhere. This makes the family and people around very happy. Everyone is saying that the son is moving forward. Surely my son will bring laurels to the state and the country in the coming times.
