  • No carbon emissions, until you need energy to refill your air tank.

    "Emits nothing but oxygen"? Clearly the host has no idea what the atmosphere is made from.

  • It needs some card board in the spokes to improve the sound!

  • Nice invention..Great..I will buy one when oil resources deplete completely...

  • Jai hoo veer jawan ,an amezaing invention 

  • haha a hand pump i like that idea, lol, there are lots of different and cool things out there, some one just needs to look for them.

  • @Dallas8844 What about a hand pump?maybe a water wheel powered pump ,lol. yes it would take awhile but it's money or time.

  • @p38lightning7 No, I'm not that dumb.Only about a quarter of India's electricity is generated by renewables, therefore three quarters of the compressors (on average) will ultimately result in carbon emissions. Constructing and transporting the bikes will also emit carbon. And microgeneration using small solar panels would dramatically increase the price of the compressors, which require a substantial amount of power. You'd also need them dispersed over a wide area before you could sell one bike.

  • @Dallas8844 Are you really that dumb? You can generate power using air, water, and sunlight. Therefore the compressor used to "refuel" the bike is clean aswell..

  • id rather ride a horse

  • Thats really smart and really practical.. why the hell not?

  • @jot1991 I am a theoretical physicist CH3-CH2-O-CH2-CH3 figure out what retarded unproven theory it came from? =) the ether theory.. now E=mc^2 another retarded hypothesis, even star wars proved it wrong =)

  • @jot1991 no.. i make fun of jews and gingers too...
