The Indian authority has imposed a ban on the use of the Kenbo bike in Manipur.
The China-made Kenbo bikes, reportedly using cross-border smuggling and very popular in the neighboring country Myanmar, are also in high demand for use in anti-social activities at the border areas.
Police said that though the bike and explosive devices were retrieved, no arrest has been made of its owner so far.
