Nice innovation. This should prove a good economical solution for the farmers. Rs. 50 worth of fuel for four bighas. Great.---

Feels very good when once sees these Jugaad or Innovations. India is filled with this.
One question here. So extensive modification has been done since it runs on Diesel or is there an inexpensive JUGAAD for that too?"HASTA LA VICTORIA, SIEMPRE !" - Chesigpic

Usually they plonk a Greaves Diesel Pumpset as the engine. Though the power output of this engine is just 5.5bhp, the torque is quite high. Also when used as a motorcycle, the bike usually returns somewhere in the vicinity of 85-90 km per liter of Diesel. Some say, it is cheaper than walkingOriginally posted by rx100.7050 View Post

Also since the engine is not custom made and is widely used, the spares are readily + cheaply available.Advice is a form of nostalgia.

this can only happen in India and as they say "Necessity is the Mother of all Inventions", with Petrol prices going crazy Deisel is the best option and when it returns mileage of over 80 it is iceing on the cakeOriginally posted by antz.bin View PostUsually they plonk a Greaves Diesel Pumpset as the engine.

good innovation, but then why is it called a bullet santi, i don't see too many bullet parts except headlight, forks, foot pedals etc.
the engine as mentioned is greaves, chasis is custom made, wheels etc are that of small tractor. so why BULLET santi ?Comment

Bullet is the bike used as base for the mod, Santi is gujju for Plough.Originally posted by princesirohi View PostAdvice is a form of nostalgia.

ya, but what is the base- headlights / forks / single downtube from cone set to --whatever you call it.Originally posted by antz.bin View Post
base has to be either engine or chassis. then only it can be called base.
a completely custom built chassis having just cone set of bullet does not make it a bullet based bike. is it?Comment

And anyways, they are not making a custom chassis for this..
Doesn't say that the chassis is cut / modified / changed.Originally posted by Link I posted in post #2Advice is a form of nostalgia.

Wonderful innovation.
Really nice to see people do such things. Considering he is not any mechanical engineer or anything of that sort. Makes it even more commendable job.
Kudos to him.
Cheers
