Knight Rider was an American action crime television series originally broadcast from 1982 to 1986. The show starred David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight, a high-tech crime fighter assisted by KITT, an advanced, artificially intelligent, self-aware, and indestructible car.
Please meet our village’s equivalent (almost!) of KITT: a bicycle modified to an astonishing degree by one of our maintenance workers, Jacob Mfati (photo 1 below).
A solar panel mounted on the luggage compartment (photo 2 below) converts the sun's energy to electricity that is transmitted to a battery via an inverter (photo 3 below). The electricity thus generated powers various gadgets on the bicycle, for example an amplifier (photo 4 below) that accepts a flash drive to provide music while travelling. Next to Jacob’s hand is a microphone which is connected to his cell phone.
Jacob is planning further modifications to his pride and joy, including an alarm system which will be linked up with his cell phone in case someone tampers with his bicycle.
