Indian farmer invents electric bike that vertically scales 80-foot-high trees
- 4 years ago
A farmer in Bantwal, western India has created a machine that can vertically scale trees up to 80 feet high.
Ganapathi Bhat, a 60-year-old farmer, took five years to develop the tree-climbing bike which comes strapped with a back support and safety harness.
The 60-year-old, who has a Bachelor of science, built the bike so farmers could effortlessly reach the coconuts at the tree tops.
Bhat is selling his invention at the price of Rs 75,000 (£764) per unit.
