A 14-year-old school student has designed a petrol-powered bicycle with the help of his elder brother in eastern India.

The video, recorded on January 22, shows Subham Soubhagya Agasti riding his home-made transportation, as a crowd of onlookers gather to admire his invention.

Subham was a keen motorcyclist until the new Motor Vehicle Act passed by the Parliament came into effect on September 1, 2019. After discovering the new law imposed hefty fines for under-18s caught driving motorcycles, Subham was inspired to build a hybrid bicycle.

The bicycle, which took two months to build and cost 20,000 rupees (£215 GBP), is equipped with a 80cc engine, two litre fuel tank and accelerator.

According to Subham, the bicycle doesn't require a driving licence, pollution certificate or insurance, as such things are not mandatory for a standard bicycle.
