Japanese Toilet-maker Invents Poop Powered Bike

As part of their effort to increase awareness about environmental issues, Japanese toilet-maker Toto have created a motorcycle that runs on faeces. The vehicle, named Toilet Bike Neo, is a three-wheeled chopper-style that features a toilet for a seat.
Though the bike runs on poop, human excrement is not used, instead the vehicle uses biogas brewed and extracted from animal dung and household wastewater. It can achieve a maximum speed of 80kmph.
The project is part of larger initiative by Toto to reduce greenhouse-gas emmissions in it’s customers toilets by 50 per cent by the year 2017.
The poop bike has embarked on a 1,000 kilometres journey across Japan to spread awareness since October 6, which took off from their manufacturing plant at Kokura and will end in Tokyo.
Even though it is powered by waste the vehicle features a tiny talking latrine on the handlebars, a high-end sound system and a air-writing LED device that can leave trails of messages.
The Toilet Bike Neo, also comes with a giant roll of toilet paper mounted at the rear end and a special poop inspired helmet.
The project has also started a blog complete with pictures at Toilet Bike that tracks it’s progress while travelling across Japan. There are no immediate plans to mass produce the unique bike and the company made it clear that it is not involved with the motorbike or bio-gas production business.
