Bicycle Onthel (Roadster bike) or also called camel bike, kebo bike, or pit pancal is a standard motor type with 28 inch tires commonly used by urban communities until the late 1970s.
In countries such as the Netherlands, Banglade Pakistan, China, the Netherlands, Bangladesh, and some other countries, this bike model is still widely used by both urban and rural communities.
Even an Indian bike manufacturer called "Hero Cycles" still produces ontel bikes up to now and is sold in the Indian market and used by the people there for transportation, trade, agriculture, etc.
In the Netherlands bike ontel models have been made more modern and equipped with lights. In China, this bike model is still commonly used as in India. Use in South Asian countries, this "ontel" bike model is still commonly used by the middle to lower class.
In Indonesia, this ontel model bike is now commonly used for commercial purposes and is still used in villages mainly for agricultural purposes.
In the Old Town of Jakarta, North Jakarta bicycle ontel is still used by motorcycle taxis and as a vehicle for tourists there.
That's a great bike! I convinced myself in that in Maastricht, The Netherlands

Both actually. It's ridiculously low cost, durability and image as a workhorse over the years has made this the automatic choice for most budget buyers.
