Emmanuel Geraldo begins research to build his car

He recalled that he started researching how to build a small car that could run on a mower motor but quit due to financial constraints.

In early September 2022, the determined young man sold his bikes and invested the monies into building his car.

''I built the spinning machine, including the boxes, myself,'' he told Zionfelix.

Geraldo revealed that he started fixing broken bikes and scooters at an early age when mechanics repeatedly failed to repair his scooter permanently.

After paying for it repeatedly, he decided to remedy the issue and was successful. He said he began mending other people's damaged bikes before building his car.
