Worried By Spiralling Prices Of Fuel, Students In Bengaluru Turn Old Scooter Into E-Vehicle

Ever come across vintage two-stroke Yamaha RX100 and RX135 bikes or Bajaj Chetak scooters running on battery? Well, final-year mechanical engineering students of Sapthagiri College of Engineering have created an e-scooter out of an old Bajaj Chetak rusting in the corner of a garage in Shivajinagar.

The undergraduate students bought the scooter for Rs 500 after bargaining with a scrap dealer and then dismantled it.

They replaced the engine with battery discharge and DC motor. “The DC controller helped in controlling the headlights, indicator and the horn,” said Hemant Kumar, one of the students.
