Meet The Ghanaian Student Who Built A Floating Bicycle
Born in Takoradi is Frank Darko who was a Graphic Design student at Takoradi Technical University. He would have been in his last year in 2020 if he hadn’t postponed his studies for personal reasons. The highly talented young guy maintained his interest in science and technology and invented the Floating Bicycle.
After experiencing the devastating effects of flooding in his hometown, especially how school children become stranded and unable to cross rivers in traditional boats to get to school, he decided to use his brains to find a solution that would allow the children to go to school without effect of the weather. This is how the floating bicycle was brought into existence.
It is built on the basic construction of a bicycle and equipped with a revolving motor. The floating bicycle’s wheels have been replaced with floating wood, similar to that used for boats. All of these spare components are readily available in Ghana and other developing countries. This makes his invention useful and long-lasting.
