Celebrating Human Ingenuity for Earth Day: The Air Powered Motorcycle
Happy
Earth Day! Of course, every day is Earth Day, and here at
Really Natural, we want to celebrate individual human ingenuity at solving the climate crisis on this special day. We've told you about the
16-year-old that converted his truck to an EV and the
revolutionary car that runs on compressed air, now Jem Stansfield, a University of Bristol graduate with a degree in
aeronautics, created a bike that runs on air. By strapping two high-pressure tanks onto the side of his Puch moped, Jem created this moped in his garage that has a top speed of 18 mph and travels seven miles before the compressed air runs out.

I can definitely see the advantage of a bicycle with some umph but I have to say I was quite happy on my regular bike today. I was waiting at a stoplight beside a motorcycle and he was reving his engine. When the light turned green I started pedaling through the intersection and he stalled not once, not twice, but three times.
