I wonder if decent local water reservoirs and redistribution schemes wouldn't wind out being much cheaper (and more efficient) than everyone having their filtering-water-bike. Maybe their transport for larger water quatities could be a huge tandem water-filtering bike, however. But even then I think that it's likely that a motorized transport is cheaper, and will add less energy expenditures, and so pollute less as well. It's a nice idea and a admirable intention, anyway.

@TheDigitalguyy ... um, if you did some research, governments around the world set aside world relief monetary funds to help solve issue that afflict the people of un-cared for nations. If you watch Dragon's Den, you would have seen a mobile water filtration invention by 2 college students where the final product wasnt even done and the U.K. gov't already pitched in millions to purchase and seas it overseas. God Bless

True that anything can be fixed in a third world country..These people are very resourceful. About parts for the bikes incase of a break down...Small problems with workable solutions. Big picture..Lets just get the bike out to these folks...Looks like the best solution for some of you azz holes is to simply do nothing and call it quits...Awesome solution well done...

this seems like a great idea

the biggest problem with it that I see though is that it doesn't really seem like a long term solution. If you give this thing to people in 3rd world countries, how long 'til something breaks on it and it's just sitting there useless and unused? 6 months? a year maybe? someone needs to maintain it

I've lived in a third world country and they can fix ANYTHING with nothing. Necessity is the mother of invention...
