If you don’t have certain resources available to you, it’s time to get creative. An Australian teenager put on his thinking cap when he used an electric scooter and a belt to tow a small boat down a sidewalk.
A video was taken of the teen, which shows the youngster using an electric scooter to tow the aluminum boat down a sidewalk in Deception Bay, Queensland. The boat’s trailer was attached to the teenager by using a belt that was secured around his body.
The 14-year-old later explained he had been taking the boat from his Rothwell home to the Deception Bay Mud Flats. Fortunately, the scooter still had half of its battery power remaining after the round trip.
“When it goes uphill, it has some problems, but downhill and flat, it pulls it fine,” he said.
Many praised the teen for his ingenuity in coming up with a successful way to tow his boat. Plus, everything he did was perfectly legal since Queensland does not have any specific rules about what can be used to tow a vehicle. Guidance on the government’s website does recommend a “suitable vehicle” though.
