Hyderabad: Telangana Teen Invents Hybrid Three-in-One Bicycle
Fourteen-year-old Gouramoni Gaganchandra from Telangana has gained widespread recognition for his innovative three-in-one hybrid bicycle powered by solar energy, petrol, and a battery. The bike can travel up to 35 km on battery power alone or run all day on solar energy. Gaganchandra transformed a regular bicycle by equipping it with an electric battery, a solar panel, and a hub motor.
The bike also features advanced functionalities like a digital speedometer, central locking system, GPS tracking for real-time location updates, and navigation. Impressively, it even supports voice control, enabling users to manage calls and music hands-free. Gaganchandra built the control box himself, sourcing components online, and completed the entire project for just ₹20,000. He aims to further reduce costs in future iterations.
Currently a Class 9 student, Gaganchandra hails from Balmuru Mandal in Nagar Kurnool district, nestled within the Nallamala forest region. His innovation earned him the third prize at the Southern India Science Fair held in Puducherry, where 250 students from across the country participated. He has also been selected to compete in the upcoming National Science Fair this February.
His mother, Nagarani, shared her pride in her son’s achievements. “Since second grade, my son has been creating items from discarded materials—lights, motors, coolers, and more. Our small house made it challenging, and I often had to throw them away. But seeing everyone praise his work now makes me proud and happy,” she said.
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy also commended Gaganchandra’s efforts through a post on X, describing his story as inspiring. “The inspiring story I came across today is of 14-year-old Gagan Chandra, whose innovation has started capturing attention. His design and make of a hybrid 3-in-1 bicycle, solar-powered, with backup of battery & petrol is an amazing invention. I wholeheartedly congratulate him. We will support him to conduct more experiments and for further innovations,” the CM wrote.
With his passion for innovation and creativity, Gaganchandra has become a source of pride for his community and an inspiration for young minds across the country.
