When you hear the term ‘three-wheeler’, your mind automatically goes to an autorickshaw. But few know that three-wheeler cars, with one model present even in Pune – the Polaris Slingshot R. Vlogger Sarthak
Sachdeva dropped an Instagram video showing the unique car he got a ride in. The vehicle was owned by Tanishq Baheti, who deals with Barquillo Chocolates, a Dubai-based confectionery brand. A video of the unique car has grabbed attention on Instagram.
The video starts with Sarthak approaching the car owner and asking for a short ride. After some hesitation, he agrees.
Three-Wheeler Car
The car became an instant sensation as it travelled. The car had no doors or windows. Its low ground clearance meant it almost touched the road. The riders could feel the wind in their hair while they moved ahead in Pune. According to Sarthak, this was the only such vehicle in India. The car had a license plate from Dubai. The front of the car opened up in a unique manner to reveal the engine inside. Sarthak ended the clip by saying that he also wished to sell chocolates.
The clip attracted a lot of comments, with many calling it the “coolest 3 wheeler ever.”
Replying to Sarthak’s comment about selling confectionery, one user said, “Use chocolate bechna nahi chocolate banana bolte hai.”
