This Man Turned a Car Into a Motorbike to Escape the Desert
Рет қаралды 10,688,711
6 жыл бұрынIn one of his many road trips to Morocco, Emile Leray (nicknamed the “Doctor of African Mechanics” by his friends) hit a roadblock ... literally. Well, actually it was a rock in the middle of the desert, but you get the idea. With his car’s front axel destroyed and a limited food supply, Leray faced an uncertain future. So what did he do? Engineered the ultimate DIY escape.

The story is fake. Not a single video showing how he was able to ride and control the bike. Myth Busters tried and failed to fully replicate this thing in a way where it was controllable faster than an average man's walking speed, and even then the rider would have to get off and push the heavy machine back on course.

Chikh8n no it is not. Walking is very different from letting an animal tote you around. One uses little to no energy, and the other requires quite a bit. Riding a motorcycle, especially one that heavy and unbalanced requires a ton of energy to balance and steer, which is further compounded by the extremely slow speed it was capable of.

VLPR But you can walk 20 miles in a day or maybe two. And carrying supplies for that time period too. I have never hiked in the desert and I bet it's really hard, but staying there for several days working on the bike must have been equally challenging.
@DruidEnjoyer 6 жыл бұрын
It's a gamble either way. Maybe you overestimate your own walking speed and run out of water halfway through. With this bike conversion thing you will at least have access to all of the water for maximum amount of time. And if it looks like you can't do the bike conversion when you have only couple days worth of water left, you can then start walking with the remaining water. There's really no reason to abandon the water.

20 miles is not even far, walkable in one night. Plus he had plenty of supplies to stay alive with him. Look up the German guys who walked 70 miles out of the Manitoba wilderness after their canoe sank. Bog walking is waaay harder than across the desert.

@NorthernChev 3 жыл бұрын
What happened is, he got so much flack from people who said, it would have only taken 5 hours to walk back to the city, but instead he took 12 days to build a motorcycle... I think this is why he's making the distance a bit more, but even then, it's only 20 miles. That's only one day's walk in that environment.
