Good to see they use local materials to solve local problems. The scooters are better than wheel barrrow or mkokoteni and are able to carry huge loads. Instead of using Sh 100k to buy chinese bikes and fuel them forever, the congolose make their own scooters using hardwood that is abundant in the congo forest.

Is all of congo on a down hill perspective? Kupanda mlima si ni balaa?
