Indian farmer invents electric bike that vertically scales 80-foot-high trees

He didnt invent it.

It has existed for over 50 years.


They use the same thing to scale up steel beams and poles during construction.

I'm confused as hell by all the AC's racist nasty posts. This seems just like all the other posts on fourshan and atekun, where the OC basically argues with themselves and allies making it seem like this is the culture of said forum. This is actully really cool and an obvious prototype. All i thought about while viewing was how to make it better. Misleading title sure, but who cares? These people are more likely to have what, access to solar powered lithium ion rechargable batteries, or a 50 year old chainsaw motor? 20 years lurking, first post.

A cheap electric version would be great for hunters.

I used to have a climbing tree stand that you moved up a pine tree by muscle power. Fairly difficult for an old guy.

However, when you are 40 feet up, you get better shots at the deer.

Never made it to the top?

he should put an extra harness around the tree..

Care to share a link or are you talking about skips or elevators for industrial construction because that’s not what he invented.

There is a resort community in Mesa Arizona that has about 10000 200 foot tall palm trees.

If I was a landscaper and they sent me there I'd turn around and go park the truck and quit.

I don't even care if they equipped me with a motorcycle to climb the trees, LOL.

The Japanese would've had a lot of fun with that thing in the pacific during their imperial conquests. Instead of just a few nips in the palms, they'd all be up there!

Should be perfect for the USA then

his xick is gonna get tangled in that demasculator

I like Indian people. Smart and usually great sense of humor. Super Chill. Just want to be left alone.

They acted like they were afraid of heights.

Iv climbed a tree with some sort of bamboo or leather wrap. Ok climbing up but when climbing down, I say' how do I get down? Releasing it some inches down makes you feel like you will end up just falling.

Like this. First pic.

That’s brilliant!

Good on him!

Your alternative is to shimmy up with your hands and feet.



I'm sure in America, we all record our opinions, sometimes in tallies, but we call that polling, and there's noting to do with trees. We do have poles around here, which fit your description. Not to be confused with Poles, they're a different sort all together.

So in centuries of picking coconut trees none of these people ever thought to use some ropes or suspended walkways......

no wonder they're poor cause that's what I've would do if those trees are harvested more than 1 year...

Did you see the whole video? Towards the end, the girl says her dad invented this bike because of lack of workers.

Please send your mexicans to India to climb coconut trees and clean the shit on streets. White Americans like you are welcome too.
