The creation of this motorcycle required "several months of hard work," said Adbou-Madjid, 24-year-old motorcycle's inventor.
He added that the vehicle is equipped with several color changing LEDs, making it more visible at night, and a battery that gives it a range of 50 km and a speed range of 25 km to 100 km.
The motorcycle's handlebars were inspired by "a touch of the Nigerien flag," Adbou-Madjid noted.
