Wonder cars, all around!


While talking about various incredible creations across the globe, who can forget Sudhakar, a Guinness Record holder from mana Hyderabad for making the largest tricycle in the world?

Sudhakar is no ordinary man. He runs the first and only handmade wacky car museum in the world, situated at Bahadurpura near Jawaharlal Nehru Zoological Park in the old city.

This handmade car museum contains 150 different designs of cars, 20th century models of buses and cars, bicycles, motorcycles…And when it comes to various designs, you name it, and he has it. From Go Karts and Dune Buggies to wacky cars like Cricket Ball Car, Saucer Car, Helmet Car, Football Car…. Sudhakar has everything and the list goes on and on.

He has 30 different designs of bicycles and motorbikes which include both single and double-seaters named ‘Tandems’, ‘Velocars’, ’Lightfoots’ etc. These include India’s smallest bicycle of about 6 inches high. The smallest motorbike of 13 inch high can travel at a speed of 30kmph.
 
Sudhakar known as the maker of wonder cars began making such weird vehicles at the age of 14. His creations are not just show pieces. They motivate the youth to try their luck at their talents. The Cricket Ball Car was made to cheer Team India for 2003 World Cup and Foot Ball Car for commemorating the 2006 FIFA football cup in Germany.  He made the ‘Condom Car’ for social awareness. The best part thing about these vehicles is that they are made of scrap, showing his commitment and love towards environment.

These vehicles have been test driven during the Traffic Safety Week on Necklace Road for many consecutive years. Sudhkar is busy preparing different designs of projects which would come to reality soon.

Sudhakar has bagged several acclaims including Limca and Guinness records.
