One and only handmade Wacky Car museum in the World is located in Hyderabad

Sudha Cars Museum is the first and only handmade Wacky Car museum in the World. It is the brainchild of Mr. K. Sudhakar, a Guinness World Record Holder for making the Largest Tricycle in theWorld. 

Mr. Sudhakar, got hooked on to this hobby right from his school days. At the age of 14 he first designed a bicycle and the very next year at the age of 15 he made his first ‘Easy Rider Motorbike’. He tried his hands on a four-wheeler when he was studying in Intermediate II year and created a stunning, rugged looking ‘Dune Buggy’.

For a Social Cause Mr. Sudhakar made a Condom Bike in the shape of a condom to bring in awareness towards the deadly AIDS. The Condom bike has a built in player, which gives a brief history on condoms and AIDS awareness. Continuing to fight against the deadly AIDS, he is planning to start a Mini Condom Bike Race.

Mr.Sudhakar has created a Guinness World Record for the Largest Tricycle in the World. The Tricycle is 41 feet 7 inches tall and weighs about 3 tons with the wheel diameter of 17 feet. It is 37 feet 4 inches long. The Tricycle is powered by the Pedal, Chain Sprockets and Gears. It took him over 3 years to built this Giant.
The smallest double decker, which is at display at the museum, has recorded in the Limca Book of Records & with the GUINESS.
Plans for the future is to introduce a 13” motorbike circuit race on the lines of 18” motorbike circuit race in Japan.Currently Mr. Sudhakar is planning to have an Animal Park, where he would have life size mechanized walking animals. He has already developed the prototypes of an Elephant and a Wild Boar.
Some of the models being worked on are “FOUNTAIN PEN BIKE”, “BASKET BALL CAR”, “TENNIS BALL CAR”, “ LADIES HAND BAG CAR”, “STILLETTO CAR”, “LIPSTICK BIKE”, “PRESSURE COOKER CAR”, “SOFA CAR”, “ BOOK CAR”, “MOBILE PHONE CAR”.
