100$ African Scooter. This vehicle, without any paddles or brakes, is capable of carrying hefty loads up to five hundred kilograms. Known as the Chukudu, it’s a type of wooden scooter widely used in some parts of Africa, notably in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where people affected by poverty cannot afford more expensive means of transportations. Crafted from basic materials like wood, metal, and rubber, it serves as a sturdy transporter. With two wheels, a cargo platform, and a handlebar for steering, the Chukudu is maneuvered by the rider pushing it with one foot on the ground and then hopping onto the platform to roll downhill or along flat surfaces. These Chukudus are being sold for about one hundred dollars, and are made with materials that cost around sixty dollars. #shorts

  1. 👉🏾The narrator quotes: “Who ever invented this is a genius!” I say his math wasn’t mathing! It sells for $100, and it cost $60 to make. That’s only a $40 profit for the labor! 🤷🏾‍♂️ 😂

  2. A Portuguese man invented it during the economic crisis of Mobutu. Africa is not capable of self rule or independence and they're safe as slaves under Whites. The harsh reality.

  3. $100 for this? ahahaha. its made out of scrap wood. the tires are just rubber from old car tires nailed on a wooden wheel. and it doesnt even have proper brakes you just push a stick down on the wheel to slow down.

  4. What do you mean "Brakeless?" you all obviously don't have a clue how such things are made, even when it's done before your eyes. Didn't you see the little paddle just infront of the rear wheel that moves on a pivot? you step on that and it rubs the tire and stops the scooter.
