Travelling to Bath, England, Dick and Jem meet up with an eco-minded sandwich shop owner eager to create an environmentally-friendly delivery vehicle. Riding around town on a tandem bike, Dick and Jem experience first-hand the challenges of creating a green vehicle able to cope with the hills and cobblestones of Bath. To build a lightweight 'green machine', Dick and Jem will need to make something small and agile -- able to accelerate uphill and manoeuvre through traffic. The solution: an air-propelled motorbike.

  • I hope those air cars never go into production. Direct emissions are zero but indirect emissions are colossal. Air trains were invented like 100 years ago and used the same working principles as all air vehicles to date, they were never really used for exactly the same reason and the air powered cars shouldn't, it's more inefficient and it can also be quite dangerous.

  • sorry to say this but this is not his idea of air powered bike it was first made in india! decades ago

  • jem stansfield is so gorgouse, you've just gotta love him
