Deogarh: A Class X student from the Central School in Deogarh has become the talk of the town after he developed a battery-operated bicycle.
Anurag Pradhan developed the bicycle that can run upto 33 km/charge.
He took one year to develop the cycle at a cost of Rs 15,000.
Anurag, son of Udaynath Pradhan, who is a science teacher at Sunamunda School in Deogarh, took inspiration from a battery-operated scooty to develop his own version of the battery-operated cycle.
Some of the features of the cycle include its 33 km/charge mileage, LED light and a horn.
Anurag used two 12 volt batteries, 24-volt gear motor and 250-watt motor control to develop the cycle.
The parts used in the cycle were bought from Maharashtra, said Anurag.
He said further research and testing are underway to ride the cycle through pedal when the battery is down.
He gave credit to his father and friends for helping him develop the cycle.
