Better question why is it a land bike and not a water bike

Sorry, not buying this.

The physics appears to be done by glow -bull climate change science flunkees.

I can run 310 miles without any vehicle. Might take a while, however...

Where can I get some of this combustible water?

You won’t get more energy out than the battery contains. The more changes you put the energy through the more losses you get, mostly due to entropy, the rest through inefficiencies.

When you burn H2-O2 you are still constrained by Carnot thermal efficiency.

If he can go 300 miles by electrolysing then burning water, he’d go much furhter on just the battery.

Supposedly it uses electrolysis to separate hydrogen and oxygen but I’m not buying it. Every school kid used to learn how to separate Hydrogen and Oxygen yet no one has managed to effectively produce it at the rate its needed for combustion.

I was going to question this guy until I saw the quality of his bungee cord setup.

Super clean motorcycle runs on H20 from a polluted river and can travel 310 MILES on a single litre

Repeal the laws of physics much? When you take hydrogen (or hydrocarbons) and burn them, water is one of the products of combustion. Thus water is already the low energy state of a combination of hydrogen and oxygen -- what are you gonna do, burn it again? Who do you think you are, Ebola?

The bike will have an alternator recharging the battery. It will need to in order to fire the spark plugs and burn the gasoline from the hidden tank in the black case.
