Zero Emissions Motorbike
Kingston University’s six final year engineering students have designed this zero emission motorbike. They have used recycled material in this battery powered motorbike. What is astonishing about this bike is it has the ability to reach speeds of 102mph, race around a 38 mile mountainous course. But the icing on the cake is you can charge this zero emission motorbike from a standard household socket! No need to run to the petrol pump and spend exorbitant amount of money on refilling it.
I get another piece of news about this clean and green motorbike
To prove its prowess, the bike will compete in the world’s first zero-emissions Grand Prix this summer. With this new bike, the Kingston team will participate with 24 eco-bikes riding in from America, India, Italy, Germany and Austria on the start line at the 2009 Isle of Man TTXGP.
What makes me sad is, in some part of India this kind of non polluting bike is being prepared somewhere by some people. But our media doesn’t give space to these types of news. But wherever you people are, all the best for the 2009 Isle of Man TTXGP. Hope you people win the race so that environment too can find a space in our media.

Hi,Alka-that’s good news,indeed…for the environment,for people’s purses too!!:)
In fact,when I was in Baroda,I saw a few battery operated scooters-they go at a max speed of 30 kmph or so,and,can be charged from the normal socket at home(Good,if u’re on the ground floor:))..a friend of mine is a computer dealer,and,he’s very happy with it..his monthly bill for the scooter? Rs.50/- which is the electricity bill only…it’s zero maintenance.
And,come to think of it,in a city like Baroda,how much faster can you go in heavy traffic,than 30-40 kmph?
That was an enlightening post. Being a final year engineering student I know how difficult it is to get recognition here. But places like the Delhi college of Engineering are constantly coming up with such projects…good luck to them.
Great job.

Very helpful to control the pollution… really a good job..
