Student in Kailali Builds Remote-Controlled Electric Motorcycle from Scrap Materials

Kailali. A student from CCS School in Dhangadhi, operated by the private sector, has built a remote-controlled electric motorcycle. Ashish Joshi stated that he received inspiration for building the motorcycle from Sagar Khanal, a former student of Sudurpaschim Academy, and his family.

Joshi informed that he built the motorcycle at home using scrap materials over two and a half weeks, with a total cost of NPR 80,000. "This motorcycle can be started using a normal key in addition to the remote," he said. "I was inspired to learn during the study observation of a science exhibition held a year ago at the JCJ Everest School in Attariya."

Iron scrap materials, battery, controller, and motor were used in the construction of the motorcycle. The battery, controller, and motor used were ordered from Kathmandu. Joshi, a resident of Rajpur, Dhangadhi Sub-Metropolitan City-13, said, "I succeeded in bringing out my ability while studying alongside my academics. This motorcycle can travel up to 80 kilometers on a single charge at a speed of 45 kilometers per hour."

His father, Durga Joshi, expressed happiness that his son showed talent by building the motorcycle. Joshi, who is studying in Grade 12, has also been provided a scholarship by the school.
