An elderly man was captured driving a homemade three-wheeler turned plane along a road in eastern China.

The video was filmed in the city of Linyi in Shandong Province on June 6.

According to the filmer Ms Li, the elderly man in his 70s always had a penchant for tinkering with small inventions since his younger days.

His latest creation is a modified three-wheeled bicycle, which, despite its appearance, cannot actually fly. However, it is adorned with speakers, colourful lights, and seats, giving it a rather cool aesthetic.

The senior frequently takes his "flying" vehicle out for a spin, typically opting for parks, squares, or less crowded roads. On occasion, he even offers children the opportunity to enjoy a free ride on his unconventional creation.

6月5日，山东临沂，一名大爷竟然开着“飞机”上街遛弯，引起路人关注。视频拍摄者李女士介绍，大爷有七十多岁了，年轻时就爱搞一些小发明之类的。这架“飞机”是三轮车改装的，肯定不能飞，但上面有音响、彩灯和座位，看起来挺酷的。老人经常会把“飞机”开出来，一般都是在公园、广场或者非主干道上开，有时还会让小朋友们免费体验乘坐。视频由李女士提供。
