Would You Call This An Addiction,

or an obsession?


 a Taiwanese pensioner who once made international headlines for strapping almost a dozen smartphones to his bicycle so he could catch multiple Pokemon in Pokemon GO! faster has now taken his passion for the mobile game to new heights, with 64 phones attached to his bike!

we have featured him before in August 2018, when he just had 11 telephones on his bicycle, shortly after photos of him taken by passers-by in Taipei City had gone viral,

 but now with a sponsorship deal with ASUS, TVBS reports that the Pokemon GO super-fan‘s bicycle now holds 64 smartphones, most of which were donated by his latest sponsor, ASUS,

Chen was approached by Taiwanese gaming website EXP.GG and he explained that he had come up with the bizarre setup so he could operate multiple Pokemon GO accounts at the same time, He had fallen in love with Niantic’s hit game after being introduced to it by his grandson, and now couldn’t get enough,


 the front of Chen’s bike looks like a digital wall, and one has to wonder how he even sees the traffic because of those dozens of phones, let alone play Pokemon GO while cycling. Some people even suggested he switch to a tricycle, that way at least he won’t have to worry about losing his balance and hurting himself, and just you were wondering, Chen’s bicycle now weighs a whopping 22.5 kilograms, more than double its original 10 kg, if he receives any more telephones a small electric motor might be an option!
