Hero Maestro with a Steering Wheel
This post comes from autoxp95 on Instagram. It captures a unique sight. Even the vlogger mentions that he doesn’t generally make content around two-wheelers. But due to the rarity of this particular case, he had to document it. There is a steering wheel from a Hyundai Santro installed on this scooty in place of where its handlebar would’ve been. What’s even more interesting is the fact that there is a brake lever on the steering itself. There is also an accelerator pedal. While this looks bizarre, we don’t even know how this would drive in real-world conditions. In any case, this has to be the most unusual configuration you would see all day.

What We Think
India is full of unusual contraptions. People have the ideas and resources to perform all sorts of modifications to their vehicles. While the trend is particularly prevalent among cars, there are bike and scooter owners who love to modify their rides to make them look apart from the rest. In a bid to do that, they sometimes go overboard. Also, our existing laws don’t allow for heavy modifications on vehicles. Therefore, one must be cautious before doing anything to their automobiles. The ideal way is to consult your local RTO regarding what is allowed. We bet installing a steering wheel on a scooter can’t possibly be legal.
