Samrat Nath, a kid from Assam’s Karimganj district has developed a theft-proof electronic bicycle that can travel 60 kilometres on a single charge.

The e-bike is fitted with cutting-edge sensors and tracking technology that can identify theft.

Lithium-ion batteries were repurposed from old laptops to power the bicycle.

On a single charge, the bike can travel 60 kilometres at a top speed of 40 kilometres per hour.

“I have invented the smarty e-bike to escape from theft. It has great security features. If anyone tries to steal my bike then a message will immediately pop up on my smartphone and the theft alarm in the bike will start ringing,” Nath told ANI.

The teenager claims he can control the bike remotely and track its location in real time.

Nath is a technology student at the Assam Rifles ITI. He claimed that completing his childhood desire of designing a bike on his own took him four years.

Nath isn’t the first Assamese teen to come up with a noteworthy idea this year.

Another young person from the Karimganj district has created a sensor-enabled smart shoe for the visually impaired.
