These are way more practical than I was expecting from the thumbnail. I was expecting a toy made by some bored handymen, but this honestly looks better than a wheelbarrow for hauling bagged goods long distances, and with fewer moving parts than a cart.

If done right, even on very uneven terrain, those can mobile and balanced with much lower effort even when loaded with hundreds of pounds.
Nice to see how advanced they are. As the voice-over says: Quite obviously wonderfully creative people. They have developed as far as the wheel. I'm clicking on the next video.
If they can get compressed bearings for the wheels .... why not buy heavy duty bicycle wheels instead???? Japan invented the RICKSHAW WAAAAYYYyyyyyy back in "1869". WITH "SPOKED" BICYCLE TIRES... Look how much the genius's here have improved the wheel!
Stronger than the chukudu, the chukudu's rider. Impressive and at the same time appalling the degree of poverty. Those men struggling deserve our respect.

This reminds me of the Wooden Scooters in Banaue. - The town of Banaue, Ifugao is known for two things: its rice terraces and wooden scooters. - These wooden scooters are used during the Imbayah Festival, where a seven-kilometer race takes place, with locals in traditional attire riding the scooters from Barangay Viewpoint to the town's Poblacion. - The wooden scooters originated as a mode of transport for goods such as firewood, palay, and sweet potatoes in the early 1900s. - The introduction of motorcycles in the 1970s led to modifications in the wooden scooters, with natives installing pedal brakes. - Charlie Guinyang, a native of Banaue, claims to be the inventor of the modern wooden scooter and has been making them for 55 years. - Since the scooter race's inclusion in the Imbayah Festival in 2005, wooden scooters have continued to evolve and attract tourists from around the world. - Contemporary scooters come in a variety of shapes and forms, including those patterned after animals and motorcycles. - Building a wooden scooter requires expertise as it can reach speeds of up to 50 kilometers per hour; the fastest record is 4.8 kilometers in 7 minutes. - Wooden scooters are now a source of income for woodcarvers, as orders for these items are continuously demanded, and some are used for photo opportunities and test drives. - The Banaue Wooden Scooters Racers group, formed in response to growing interest in the scooter race, has 35 active members as of 2019. The group organizes the exhibition race each year and ensures the skill of scooter-making is passed down to the next generation.
This wasn't what I was expecting, the amount of weight a single man can move on this contraption is astounding. The ingenuity that these guys have along with that can do spirit is also remarkable. In America, if you were going to move that much weight, you would have at least a small pickup truck and a trailer come. In America it would cost less than $300 to make one of these and install very good components, versus $25,000 or more for the truck and trailer.
These Brothers have cornered half the market, the downhill one. It's cheaper to give them the downhill haul job as opposed to a small truck. You'll hire a truck for uphill jobs. Very smart design given the limited resources a war torn nation can offer a man.
Important things...? The guy made a shit scooter that can carry rice. Getting running water would be considered important. Not pissing around on a kids toy made from driftwood. Beaut
People will call this innovative and brave but in reality this guy is still in the flinstones But the most impressive thing is all the weight these things hold and that they can move it on two wheels like that
right?! i feel so bad for them. but im also jealous how they intermix modern tech but live like (near) primitives (comparatively) i dream of living in a thatch hut, drinking water out of coconuts (im not an alcohol person) on the beach and living the rest of my life doing building things i need by hand but also having a biodiesel generator in the hut so i can play Ark:Survival Evolved occasionally. or the Sims3. or PAYDAY2.
The most impressive thing is that after all this time they're all using the same design. You would think at some point, someone would have realized that if you add a 3rd wheel, it will balance indefinitely.
They push 1000kg going 30kms per hour for up to 20 kilometers using sweat and skill. Now tell us the real cost of using your modern climate changing methods??
We have also wooden scooters here in the Philippines 🇵🇭 particularly in the Banaue or Mt. Province area. Used as mode of transport or for racing. It can also carry valuable items like firewoods but only minimal unlike the chukudu that can carry tons of load. It has no brakes so they rely on their feet to stop or die like a real man. 😂
When I was a child, I built a model of one of these on a smaller scale, using the same technological principle, but with 3 wheels. It was less sturdy, so it only ran on asphalt, but it was meant for fun.
this is very extraordinary, your vehicle is made of wood, this is very creative without the help of technology, I really like to see your work, you created bicycles from wood, this is very important for our daily work to bring goods to the market, I give value to our brothers 💯 i really respect you guys in africa❤

I dont think most people will have time in their lives to travel the entire globe. If we didn't have the internet I would probably never be able to experience this.

Respect those people who have this kind of knowledge.. really advanced thinking 🤔
Love from India ❤
As someone who rides an Escooter to work you have my respect
Интересные скутеры у них, приходится выкручиваться в таких сложных условиях, молодцы.
Sometimes I do hang a couple of grocery bags on my electric scooter, but I've never even thought of carrying a ton of cargo on it... Strong people, brave hearts! :)
thank you so much
1000lbs on a wood bike! Dang, I bet these guys could teach all of us something about balancing a big motorcycle. Thanks for making a video so we can see all this. I dont think most people will have time in their lives to travel the entire globe. If we didn't have the internet I would probably never be able to experience this.
1 ton is 2000 pounds (roughly).
thank you.
When God gives you lemons, you make lemonade. God bless these people.
High IQ Humans : Vespa
Low IQ Sub Saharans : Chukudu
I'll buy that for a dollar 💵
But jokes aside, that scooter is very inventive👍
true
Dead or alive u coming with me homie!
You can mass produce that and sell to your country
Too soon, Junior
And it's environmentally friendly ! Love africa from India
It reminds me the European draisines from before the railways were invented. They were also made out of wood and looked like bicycles without paddles. Simple, but effective.
I BUST OUT LAUGHING WHEN I SAW THE STATUE NOT BECAUSE I WAS MOCKING BUT AS IF I MYSELF RECEIVED THE STATUE. IT'S QUITE HONORABLE WHEN SOMEONE ADMIRES OUR STRENGTH AND INGENUITY, THAT MAKES ME HAPPY. WHERE I'M FROM WE USE WOODEN CARTS SO IM QUITE FAMILIAR. THANK YOU FOR THIS!
appreciate it brother
Great video ❤
Thank you 😊
A simple but good transport vehicle, locally made and sourced, and enviromentally sound too! What's not to like?
Trust me, they have found something to hate..anything Blacks do has to get denigrated.
あなたの意見には概ね賛成ですがこの形である意味が自分にはわからないです。
三輪車の形にした方が荷も沢山積むことが出来ますし安定性も良いはずです。
Thank God some of our ancestors moved out of Africa and developed higher intelligence to survive the northern European cold. We know them today as white men. Responsible for all modern technologies, amenities, comforts and conveniences. These unfortunate folks missed the train.
yeah its unfortunate but its life
No i dont have african DNA. Stop with these pseudoscience
@@meinkek7896 I'm more of a polygenist myself.
@@basedinstinct dont talk about out of africa theory its fake, hoax, outdated
People acting as if Europe didn't gain most of its technology from other continents. This is what happens when they only teach you your history and not others, I guess.
God bless these lovely genius hardworking people respect from Iran
Its clean energy. Easily recyclable. The world need to learn from countries like the Congo.
Thank you, I am very inspired that people are being this tenacious and inventive! I love it.
You are so welcome!
You all might discover clean water soon!!
Great ! Far more better than the scooty we use
yes it is especially the amount of weight it can carry
Great innovation my dear African brothers and sisters. All the best for the future .
Thank you
@@Afrikleo we Indians and Africans share the same pain of Colonial oppression by the Western countries. I hope Global South countries will develop their economy, education, defence etc and oneday in the future we will show the strength of our culture and civilization to those Western white supremacist countries.
It was invented by a Portuguese visitor.
That's creativity and a good lesson for those only crying and asking for government help. God bless them.
truly.
The inventor deserves Nobel Prize.
this is interesting
Glad you liked it
Thanks for this video.
Welcome ❤
so beautiful coulture! they uses what they have, almost nothing, and still managesa to survive! Amazing people!👍
truly amazing
Yeah for 10,000 years they are still in the same position.
I own a trifold bike and i really love it especially because i can store it neatly at home after cycling it, and my wife wont scream at me for making any mess. But i feel this Chikudu is even more impressive 😅
yeah, its fun. you should try
Watching from India! Love You Africa❤
Don't let the europeans steal the blueprints!
Que maravilha esse Scooter eu queria um assim tmb 😀
Mmmm
Beautiful people. Make strong scooters. Strong people and Africa is most beautiful place on earth. Africa is my dream vacation to see the Congo . These guys deserve more money for the heavy work they are doing. It's great they can earn asuch as a doctor or other types of higher earning jobs. Beautiful people. Thanks for share. Africa has been call me since I was a child. I'm 52 now and look forward to all of what Africa is. Pure beauty and amazing people.
thank you and you are much welcomed to Africa
Where wakanda? Africa builds wooden scooters when rest of the world develops self driving cars.
Literally. How are they considered the same species as us
These people developed a zero emission mean of transportation capable of carrying 1 tons of materials without the need of spending for foreign supplies. They are not "africa" btw, like we Italians are not europe or Tibetans, Asia
The practical definition of Engineering is to find novel solutions to solve problems with limited recourses. There is genius in its simplicity.
l agree
Salute to our hardworking Congo brothers.. ❤from India 🇮🇳
thankyou brother
Cool Aftica has reached the Bronze Age. Maybe next 500 years theyll invent irrigation
Very uninformed comment.
Earliest great civilization ever Egypt is in Africa let's not forget. ✌🏿
🤣
a 3 wheeler would be stronger, more balanced and carry more
I was thinking the same thing.
Спасибо друг что поделился своей историей про Чукуду с нами! Россия и Африка братья навек!
thanks brother
It's depressing.
The main thing is that you stay in Africa and spare us your culture
