The Story of a motorcycle

The average speed of this bike is 20 km / h. But the "trick" it is not in the power of the engine, and in a unique way. The owner and creator of the bike, from Bishkek Igor Yarovenko, calls his creation steampunk trike. Just might get the false impression that the tricycle is assembled from that horrible, but it is not. Every detail was chosen carefully, painstakingly and in the style of the bike. Hood is an oak barrel, and the electric motor (!) Rose champagne buckets. As a glass bowl lights used. Hand brake - a hand with a corresponding "manicure". There is even a music box! And the role of the backrest performs folder of the anaconda, which the owner traded 30 years ago.

Igor originally planned to make the move in the electric motorcycle and a half years, but, as often happens, the work spread out and the bike was ready in just two years. As the creator, if not for problems with the electronics, you have been able to handle faster. But now all over, and a host of rides a tricycle in the morning.
