Biker created a motorcycle that rides on water from a bed and duct tape (3 photos + 1 video)

Flo Suhail created the design from scratch, since there were no such plans available in the public domain. To protect the motorcycle from water penetration, he used readily available materials such as silicone and adhesive tape.





French biker Flo Suhail, who moved to Australia, brought his unique idea to life: he independently developed a motorcycle that can travel on water. Moreover, he had no engineering experience.

The man known for his image of the pirate Jack Sparrow decided to create a jet ski after watching a video on the Internet. Despite his lack of mechanical knowledge, he dove headfirst into the project and found creative solutions for its implementation.



According to Flo, he had to completely develop the design himself, since there were no ready-made drawings for such a device. To protect the vehicle from water, he used improvised materials, including adhesive tape and silicone. Experience with regular motorcycles helped him, for example, with the choice of a filter that prevents water from getting into the engine.



In the process of work, Flo used unexpected components - from car parts to the base of the bed. In order to better understand the mechanics, he had to study industrial maintenance and repair of motorcycles. Along the way, he made many mistakes and broke several expensive parts.

Special attention in the project was paid to the tires. To successfully move on water, he ordered special rain tires from the USA at a cost of $ 1,300 each.

Creating the motorcycle took Flo about a year, with him working on the project 13 hours a day. An ankle injury forced him to stop working for a month, and a lack of funds forced him to recycle bottles and cans to buy food.

The publication notes that although Flo currently has no plans to mass-produce his invention, his story has already inspired thousands of people on social networks.
