83-year-old builds 'moped car' to travel across China


gbTimes.com

An elderly man from Meizhou, Guangdong Province has built a fully functional 'moped car' and is travelling across China in it.

83-year-old Liuzhen Han created his first "moped car" before the 2008 Beijing Olympics to promote the Olympic spirit, reported CNS.

Since then the retired aircraft engineer has built several models. The tiny electric vehicle that looks like a car, but is no more powerful than a moped, can't go very fast and only fits one person.

Most of the parts have been handmade by Liuzhen who says he has used a number of new technologies that could be patented.

According to the elderly inventor, he has already traveled thousands of kilometers in the pint-sized vehicle while discovering China. His latest trip was to Jilin Province.

Liuzhen who started a long ride back home on Tuesday, said that he won't stay there for long. He is already planning yet another road trip.
