Grandpa Gives Grandkids Boat Ride In Flood Waters Thanks To His Ola Electric Scooter [Video]

The southern state of Tamil Nadu in India was recently hit by a cyclonic storm called Cyclone Fengal. Due to this, many areas of Chennai, Pondicherry, and nearby places suffered floods. Now, we understand that such situations are never fun for anyone. However, there are many people in this world who can find happiness even in the worst times. Recently, a video of one such grandfather creating happiness for his grandchildren by riding his Ola Electric scooter with a boat attached to it has been shared online.

Grandfather creates happiness for his grandchildren

This short clip showing the grandfather and his grandchildren enjoying themselves even in these tough times has been shared on X by Chutki Chaiwali. It starts with the grandpa pulling a boat with two of his grandchildren in it with his Ola Electric scooter. We can note that the entire porch of their house is filled with water.

Most likely, this has happened due to the drainage in front of their house being clogged. What we can also see is that the kids are enjoying this boat ride, and the grandfather is also enjoying driving his Ola Electric scooter.

The video is being recorded by the father of the children, and he can be heard scolding one of them for hitting the Mahindra Thar parked under a shed. As per reports, this particular video has been shared from the Kodambakkam area in Chennai, Tamil Nadu.

Netizens’ reactions

This particular clip has gone viral on the internet, and a number of users are cherishing this unique spectacle. One of the users has stated, “Kudos to him. One should know how to convert destruction into opportunity. He found a new way to give happiness to his grandchildren.”

Meanwhile, another user added, “This is one of the best examples of when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” Apart from these, others have left a ton of positive comments appreciating the efforts of the grandfather in providing his grandchildren a day to remember when they grow up looking back at this terrible situation the city is facing.

Apart from the grandpa in the above video, a short clip showing another person using his Ola Electric scooter in a unique way has been shared as well. This particular Ola Electric scooter rider managed to convert his EV scooter into a boat. What we mean is that in this clip, a man can be seen crossing an extremely flooded road in one go on his S1 Pro scooter.

We can note that a number of people were standing on a road that was completely flooded. At this point, this particular Ola Electric S1 Pro rider decided to take his electric scooter onto the road with water. And we can see that he managed to cross the entire road without any hiccups.

The people who were standing on the other side were even cheering and clapping for this man who managed to do this difficult task. Also, we can note that the rider continued his journey after crossing this flooded road.

Should you try this?

It has to be mentioned that although the Ola Electric scooter riders have managed to ride their scooters in water without any issues, repeating the same is not advisable. We say this because if there are some underlying issues, they can multiply due to water ingress. These issues could then render the vehicle useless.

Also, the electrical components and batteries of EV scooters are vulnerable to water damage. Submerging them in water can lead to short circuits, malfunctioning, or even permanent damage. So, we request you to enjoy such videos on the internet but never recreate them.
