Transportation is a very important aspect in human life. We get things done because we are able to move from one place to another. Over the years we have develop many means to convey ourselves and goods from one point to another and we keep on carrying out research to improve these means.

I live in the northern part of Nigeria and they is this particular means of transportation both the urban and rural people mostly use to carry out they daily activities. Based on my research the main reason why they love this specific means of transportation is because it is the only modern means available alternative to car.

Nigerian is bless with crude oil which makes petroleum price cheaper when compare to our neighboring countries. So now that the price of fuel is out of the way, people especially in the rural area where you can’t order a taxi or board public transportation as seen in the urban area, need something cheaper than car but also fast. Most rural area in Nigeria have little access to good road and the business they normal engage in is bringing they farm product such as vegetables to the urban market to sell.

The only means that can serve all the purpose mention above is the Jincheng motorcycle. It is easy to maintain, fuel economy, cheap and it dynamic in nature a perfect means of transportation for citizen living in the rural area.

When it was first imported to the country the price of one jincheng is very high which was around $1000 which is #200,000 mind you the Naira to USD is (#1=$200) with current steem price at $0.53 that will be 530 steem. Than a brilliant Nigerian business investigate why it so expensive here in Nigeria when the price from the imported country is way lesser. He found out the problem was due to the shipping price which added a lot to the price tag when arrive.

NOTE: # Naira symbol

He came up with the idea of shipping the motorcycle in parts instead of whole to be reassemble in Nigeria and his plan worked crushing the price to as low as $400 which is #80,000 (#1=$200) that is equivalent to 212 steem. This genius idea means almost everyone can afford to buy Jincheng motorcycle including the rural settlers. But sadly the Naira to USD conversion is now at #1=$590 but nevertheless, those who brought while the price was still reasonable are still making use of it til today.

To get a new 2021 model of Jincheng motorcycle now you have as high as #400,000 due to the current exchange rate and that is equivalent to 1,430 steem sad emo.

Conclusion

The Jincheng motorcycle has proven very use to both rural and urban people. Moving from one place to another to carry out their daily activities has been really made easy. It sad to see how the price has sky rocked in the past few year but the villagers did not let that affect them they keep working hard and hopefully things will get better soon.
