It’s Cool This Motorcycle Runs on Poop, but Who Wants to Ride on an Actual Toilet Seat?

The combination motorcycle/toilet has arrived and it’s sure to cause quite a stink.

Created by Japan’s leading toilet makers TOTO, the energy efficient bike certainly meets the motor industry’s demand for more climate friendly vehicles.

Talks to turn the ambitious project into reality have been on-going since 2009, with the latest version of the ‘Toilet Bike Neo’ making its debut at s showroom in Fujisawa, near Tokyo, on Thursday.

The environmentally friendly three-wheel 250cc motorcycle features a specially customised toilet-shaped seat that runs on bio-fuel from the discharge of livestock or waste water.

The Toto, it should be said, can NOT run on human waste. Only specially processed animal waste will make this motorcycle go vroom vroom.

So uh…why is the seat a toilet then?
