In this episode on Tekniq, we look into the genius solution of creating a DIY tourist transport by using a motorcycle with extra seats on the rail tracks of Colombia.
Wonderful wasn’t it! No music no noise no commentary! Very rare these days. It was so relaxing,.. I felt I was there I the tropical country side. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
What an amazing channel this is. No crap music, no epilepsy-inducing edits, no commentary. Just calm rock solid filming showing these talented people and their clever solutions. What is a just a leisure machine to most of us is as essential as water and air in other parts of the world. We take too much for granted.
I love how motorcycles in many parts of the world are not just "recreational vehicles" but true workhorse machines that are employed to do real jobs and real work. They are vital means of transportation. We Americans will never have the same relationship with motorcycles as many people around the world do.
@@TheInsultInvestor Yes, progressed. Now they have more vehicles that are better suited to a wider variety of jobs. Back then, they used motorcycles out of necessity. Motorcycles were small and cheap vehicles. Today, the necessity of using motorcycles in such a manner is no longer required because they have progressed past that. You don't see people doing this kind of thing with motorcycles in America anymore because there is no longer the necessity for it.
I used to work for the 'Santa Fe Railroad' as a 'Trackman' in Oklahoma in the 1970's and LOVE this video of riding the rails with these [unique] home made machines.
Ingenuity in the face of adversity brings out the best in people the world over. Kudos guys. You've just missed 10:01 but the 10:01 and 10 seconds will be along as soon as the drivers greased his wheels 😊
I guess it is called railbike. Saw a video where lawnmower engines are used on rail carts much like those on unused old American rails. Yea, that looks super fun.
@@TUBESPECIFIC1 Some people even made railroads using cement and metal sheets, to get the cost down, and they use them for similar low-weight transport. Basically, the cheapest weatehring steel (which is steel which isn't dissolved by rust, but the layer of rust prevents lower layers from being dissolved by the rust), compacted concrete (basically dirt, 5%-6% cement, and 2-3 times more water, mixed well, and compacted / hammered down in a form, with interlocking parts at the ends, all those parts held together at the ends with nails), and wire going through the cement is used to tie down the steel sheets to prevent sliding. Basically, a wagon like in the video can hold about half a ton, everything included, and still last for at least a few years of low-intensity use.
Ils mériteraient également un bon coup de pouce vers le haut dans la réalité! Bravo à ces gens là, et a leur ingéniosité! Stéph. They also deserve a good push upwards in reality! Well done to these people and their ingenuity! Stéph.
Very True.... I have never thought this was possible.... This engineering level would be very economical for Africa especially within The congested Towns with unending Traffic Jams... Not also forgeting accessibility in Rural developing areas
Lolol theres a reason it is not a super power nation and ranks among the most mjrder capital of the world. S.m.h. And no one is running to them except drug cartels.
This is incredible! This is such an elegant solution. It might not look so pretty, it might not be super safe if someone falls out, but the ingenuity is incredible! And it must be incredible to ride through the jungle like that. Of course, they could use an electric motor and whatnot, but this solution works really well (and is probably more practical)
La necesidad hace el ingenio segun el video los rieles es su unica via de comunicacion entre pueblos felicitaciones mil al que invento este medio de transporte. Agradeceria mucho me digan la hubicacion de estos pueblos colombianos, saludos desde Peru.
@@deft-to1xp Those trains don't run at such high speeds, so even if the brakes don't hit in time, if everyone jumps out of the carriages, wouldn't it just be a scratch? (optimistic guess)
Das sind schon sehr kluge und intelligente Menschen. Sie machen sich das Leben einfach. So hat das wahrscheinlich auch alles angefangen, die Menschen haben sich über Schienenfahrzeuge viele Gedanken gemacht.
Here in Northern-Europe, we travel alone in 7-seaters (SUV) because you need to have a seperate license for even the smaller motorcycles. The way they use these bikes is more environmentally good than what we do in Europe although many work from home these days.
my brother in christ that 125cc piece of chinese junk gets worse fuel economy and produces 3 times more pollutants per kilometre travelled than than your 7 seater SUV.
@Daniel-ie8si Many drive old cars too, average age was I believe 10 years or so in Europe. Here a new 7-seater costs around 50000€, a lot more than in most countries.
@@iam5085just no. The average age of cars has sunk over the years, that's also a problem as new cars pollute if they are made from factory😂 Still what is crash safety on these? Do these have brakes? No they have not single wheel is not going to stop people load
@@wayando this is 117MPG. I actually did the math wrong and was about to make a fool of myself on the internet. Even the best hypermilers in extremely modified cars (Saturn LS1, specific models of small Ford, etc) can only get 80-90MPG. It is pretty common knowledge that motorbikes can do 100MPG, too.

Thanks God 🙏🙏🙏 these people are living in such peaceful place without any hurry, without so called development..It is very relaxing 😌😌😌 to see such greenary...
All they need is a few passing areas and it's a great idea for the public transit of smaller villages. Also leaves a nice area for expansion if the demand grows wealth etc.
A train in India (I think) is like this but anyone with a motorbike or scooter can use it. The rear wheel doesn't touch the rails but a roller instead which turns the train wheels. Just ride bike on and rear wheel sits on the rollers like at an MOT test station and off you go. About ten people can sit on it.. Great idea by locals who use the rail lines of huge coal trains without permission. Desperation is the mother of invention. 🎉
Muy bien, quiero empezar diciendo, que gente más bella. Ganándose la vida honradamente. Esto es lo que lo hace pensar a uno, es allí cuando me encantaría ocupar un puesto público, para derrochar el dinero en gente como todos estos hombres.

Very cool. If the motorcycles are meant to be permanently attached to the cart unless they breakdown, I recommend removing the front wheel and attaching a metal bar in its place. Will make it lighter and more efficient, meaning it’ll cost less for fuel and be harder to steal. Currently someone with a wrench can just unscrew the bolts to the side bar and drive off with the motorcycle
Looks like great fun! When I was a youngster I used to like those things they used in the old black and white films which were carts that were powered by two guys standing up and pushing down alternately on a seesaw type connecting rod. I think they were used for track maintanance
Those were called gandys and the guys doing the pumping were called gandy dancers. When I worked on the RR track gang, track workers were all called gandy dancers. I never pumped a gandy but I rode to the job and back on one. By then they were mostly motorized.
@Circulon154 Well Sheldon you somehow didn't know they were called a gandy. But trust me, an old railroad worker on the New York Central, in the 50s, we called them gandys.
I didn't realize that I would enjoy this documentary style so much. Just footage and natural sounds. No music, no talking. Thank you very much.

The reactions when the gates come down with lights and bells ringing and seeing this go past would be priceless.
*Gates, [electric] bells and lights? That would be priceless indeed to the folks there.*
What amazes me is the huge contrast between this and the technology available in other parts of the world.
The best ideas come from ordinary people , simply AWESOME.
True that. And then some government official steps in and ruins the whole thing because it is 'unsafe' and needs 'regulation'.

The problem is how if you will mit with the train
There should be a regular schedule for real-trains, I suppose, and all of those fancy-looking "trains" should be aware of it.@@georgeigogo9259

making your own Rail system under these circumstances is Brilliant...working with what you have ..A+ grade
I would think these older tracks from a previous working rail road
Google 'history of the united fruit company' and prepare to be horrified and disgusted.
They're abandoned colonial tracks. Not suitable for modern trains but no one bother removing them
I was gonna say anyone ever wonder how we still get bananas for 40 cents a pound!
@@ZeroXSEED if they can make use of them to provide services for the local then there's no need to get rid of it
I love how they have also created a local station for boarding it and it moves faster too.
I absolutely love this. The ingenuity is so incredible.
Much respect to these inventive guys..i enjoyed watching very much.
Big salute to this man's creativity ❤

Really hardworking man for self and for his family... ❤❤❤
Very interesting to see! And the filming and editing of this video was superb to boot!
I've lived in Colombia most of my life and never seen or heard of this original means of transportation. Nice video!
Colombia South America not the Colombia in the US of A !! 😂
San Cipriano queda cerca de cali, te lo perdiste ve😂😂
Looks more comfortable and a better ride than the Pacer trains on the UK railways
Haahahha
Ingenioso pero peligroso porque hay una sola vía
No doubt they are cheaper and more convenient too.
It's a very simple and unique means of transportation. I like watching this video because it adds to my experience

You must not get out much…
love how creative they are to take a old track and create money and create rules
It's a good example for group of People /community opening a new door to the eyes of the world..

What an idea and working mechanism ,deserves salutation.
These handmade bike-trains appear to be primitive, but they are on demand, very ecological and resource saving smart way!
The need makes the person create .
You should think about the brake
@@deft-to1xp I believe that the brake must be through the motorcycle

Very cool. If the motorcycles are meant to be permanently attached to the cart unless they breakdown, I recommend removing the front wheel and attaching a metal bar in its place. Will make it lighter and more efficient, meaning it’ll cost less for fuel and be harder to steal. Currently someone with a wrench can just unscrew the bolts to the side bar and drive off with the motorcycle
I think they left the front wheel on in case the cart breaks down, you can ride the motorcycle for help.
yes i thought they keep the bike intact so it can disconnects to the rails easily and go to main roads.@@foodparadise5792
Always a know it all in the crowd. Do this, Do that. The motorcycle does have a key lock on the ignition. Fumb Duck
