Teenage Boy Converts His Bicycle To Okada, Shares How Much He Spent

A Nigerian teenage boy, Adewale Quoyim, 16,  has converted his bicycle into a motorcycle that uses a generator engine all by himself.

Speaking in an interview with BBC News Pidgin, Adewale narrated how disappointed he felt when people told him he cannot use a generator engine as a motorbike engine.

However, he kept pushing through to achieve the unachievable with his father’s encouragement.

Now that the Senior Secondary School 3 (SS3) student is riding his creation, he said the same people who tried to dissuade him are surprised that he made it work.

The young chap also noted that the idea of converting his bike came up when he needed a motorbike but could not afford one.

He dismantled a generator set and used it to carry out his project.

The way the motorbike is set up, one half of the engine is sitting at the pedal, the tank is placed between the bicycle seat and the handrail.

The teenage boy revealed that he spent a total of N30,000 for the conversion and bought the engine as a scrap.
