A mechanic from Tripura named Partha Saha has built a social-distancing motorbike which he plans to use to drop his young daughter to school whenever lockdown lifts and normalcy resumes, The Hindu has reported.
Here is a video of the bike as reported by APF.
The bike which runs on battery power contains a distance of 1 metre between the biker and his or her pillon rider to ensure proper social distancing.
Saha brought an old bike from a scrap dealer, removed the engine and cut it into two parts. He subsequently attached a rod to hold the two parts together.
The bike has a top speed of 40 kmph and can travel 80 kilometre in a single charge. It can be recharged at a nominal cost of Rs 10.
Saha feels that it may not be safe for his daughter to go to school on a bus in the near future, which inspired him to come up with this innovation.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
