Why hasn't this gotten picked up here? Or anywhere?

Invalid "arguments": 1) It's too loud 2) It doesn't move fast enough

I want my damn air powered motorcycle now please.

so how do you compress the air? nice try though

that's a question not an argument. Nice try though.

the stupidity and gullibility of the WHOLE FUCKING WORLD never ceases to amaze me.

These sandniggers use fuel or electricity to compress the air, so the bike is not pollution free like they claim.

Takes energy to compress the air.

Is it not possible to hand compress air? Like a pumping motion or something?

inb4 you're all too lazy to actually do this.

>> No.3326640

>>3326634
Not enough to be economical.

Use a bigger compressed air tank to compress the air.
I think you're missing the point, air compression could possibly be done without much electricity if needed with work (I dont know, maybe use the high pressure of deep under the ocean to do it, we're in no rush to figure out)

>> No.3326648

>>3326634
Yes, it's also possible to hand-generate electricity. Hell, we could also ride bikes and just skip the middleman.

>>3326634
pumping an air tank for at least 100 miles of travel on a motorcycle requires a fuckload more work done than pumping a beach ball or bicycle tire.

This concept is not new at all. In France they even tried it with minivans and such.

The point that people always miss is that this takes pollution out of the cities which is a huge plus.
