A 27-year-old Ghanaian who resides in Takoradi in the Western Region gained recognition for his creation of a bicycle which is purposely designed to be used on water surfaces. He revealed that the creation of his invention started in August, 2017 and with a lot of effort and hard work, he managed to finish his project and tested it in a shallow dam in his area.
Now, the young inventor believing in his finished work, decided to test it out on the sea to prove to the world that his invention has come to stay. In the many pictures that the young man sent to NAIJ.com, some people were seen taking turns to experience the unique invention.
Speaking in a telephone conversation with NAIJ.com, Frank Darko revealed that he wanted his invention to help the school children who had to swim to school, find an easier path to their classes.
