RAWALPINDI: A mechanic in Rawalpindi has combined the iconic beetle Foxy and a motorcycle to create a ‘Beetle Trike’ customized vehicle within six months.
Talking to M.M News, the owner Kamran and mechanic Rasheed of the customized vehicle informed that they wanted to create something unique by combing different vehicles.
“We first created a sketch on Photoshop and then bought the necessary items for creating the customize vehicle,” they said. They used the body of an old Foxy and the bike Harley Davidson.
“The most difficult stage in creating the vehicle was the cutting of Foxy car and then the adjustments of seats, brakes and clutch,” they added. According to them, the whole process took six months and cost more than Rs6 lakh. The customized vehicle has a 1300 cc engine with 5 gears, with a speed of 180 kmph.
A beetle trike is exactly what the name suggests. It has half the body of a beetle combined with any kind of motorcycle. The concept is pretty much the same as with any motorized tricycle which is also known as a three-wheeled motorcycle.
