@goldmynetv shared a video on Instagram capturing men and women hoping on the long-seated bike one after the other like it wasn't a big deal.
With both feet planted firmly on the ground, the okada rider maintained balance as the passengers boarded the bike till they became 7.
He then zooms off with ease. YEN.com.gh couldn't ascertain the location of the video as of the time of making this report.

Okada with long seats that can carry persons at once go viral
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh previously reported about viral photos of okada with a long seat that can carry 8 persons at once.
Chief among what people asked was, why would a person go that far to make a machine that is meant to carry a maximum of two passengers take eight people?
Tweeps also noted that making body modifications to a bike to handle such without increasing its engine's horsepower to a commensurate level is very unsafe.
Photos shared show that the bike's seat was rebuilt. To give the passengers some relative comfort, a very long leg brace was also made so the passengers do not rest their feet on the machine's silencer.
