I’m not sure his vehicle meets road regulations, but I hope his passion for wheels remains unregulated…This is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long while. I want to meet this road warrior… https://t.co/lZbDnge7mo— anand mahindra (@anandmahindra) April 29, 2022
Anand Mahindra described the scene as the "coolest thing" he has seen in a while and expressed his wish to meet the "road warrior".
"I’m not sure his vehicle meets road regulations, but I hope his passion for wheels remains unregulated," the Mahindra Group chairperson added.
The video drew mixed reactions from social media users. While some praised the man for his innovation, others flagged that he was violating safety rules.
"Where there's a will there's a way! Kudos to this guy," one Twitter user said.
Another person tweeted: "Nice to see this sort of innovations. (The) best part is he is wearing a helmet and following safety tips."
A third user said: "That's dope. A multi-utility trike."
A Twitter user named Anoop said the vehicle was not legal. "The creator might not even have heard of the regulations/testing needed before vehicles are put on roads. Amazing that the MVD (Motor Vehicle Department) has not noticed this."
It definitely is a concoction that would not be street legal. The creator might not even have heard of the regulations/testing needed before vehicles are put on roads. Amazing that the MVD has not noticed this.— Anoop K (@anoopkmt) April 30, 2022
Another person echoed his view, saying "these things should be deprecated".
"This way one can fabricate any thing and drive it with least concern for the rules or the safety of others," he added. "I had seen another one in which a two wheeler was being driven with a charpoy on top on which a man was lying."
