    Well friends, it seems we are still far away from a world free of chinese maal but that's not the emphasis of my message. The emphasis is on the great idea behind it by UNICEF/ erangers.
    It's very much possible having emergency (if not mainstream) ambulances made out of bikes, and our Royal Enfield can serve as a great donor bike for such a purpose.
    Also, such ambulances can be used in rural areas with lesser space requirements and cost.
    How much should an Ambulance cost? Even a Middle segment car costs above Rs. 4 Lacs nowadays. So, does a "bikambulance" for Rs. 1.5 Lacs or so sound sense? It sure does to me.

        1. Chinese are not that low in technology as we percieve, they have world's fastest computers and fastest bullet trains and did some one thought bikes are complex than these ?
        2. There's no doubt, 2Ws are hell lot convinient !! There's lot of scams behind Ambulance services, in AP/K'taka, for every person transported to Hospital by 'Free Ambulance' Govt pays Rs.800/- or so to the private fleet owner, they in turn pay commission for the favor. In cuba, medical svcs is at doorstep, doctor comes to you (mostly on a cycle, not even a bike)!!

          The Sheer thought of a RE as an ambulance makes me shudder!

          Somewhere someone:Wait the patient is critical, I need a bike ambulance
          *dug dug dug dug dug dug * its the bullet ambullence! *dug dug dug dug dug *

          Damsel in distress: The patient is critical and we cant use the 4W.
          amBULLet: Worry not, I am here!
          *dug dug dug dug dug dug *

          DID: Oh the day is saved!
          amBULLet: Wait, I think I lost my engine oil... I will be back with a new block and piston, hang in there patient!
          *dug dug dug dug dug dug *

            Hilarious man! Lol!
            This amBULLet sounds like some sort of Super hero. Let's rename him EnfieldMan!

            Anyways, we have more torquey bikes now, like Karizma. Karizma can pull the sidecar with the patient and the medical equipment requirements.
            And to add to the context, karizma is cheaper than RE bikes, thus presenting a great deal for Hero Honda as well as the government.
