– Photos of a remodeled motorcycle popularly known as the okada have caused a lot of talk on Twitter
– After rebuilding, the okada has a long seat that can carry seven passengers, plus the pilot
– Many people who saw the photos expressed serious safety concerns, revealing the machine was not made to withstand such pressure
OUR MANIFESTO: This is what YEN.com.gh believes in
The photos of a motorcycle carrying eight people at a time drew massive reactions on social media as people had a lot to say.
The main question people asked was, why would one person go this far to make a machine to carry a maximum of two passengers for eight people?
Tweeps also noted that it is very dangerous to modify the bodywork of a bicycle to handle it without increasing its engine power to a corresponding level.
Photos shared show that the bike seat has been rebuilt. To give the passengers relative comfort, a very long strut was also made so that the passengers do not rest their feet on the muffler of the machine.
