TOILET BIKE NEO: Crazy Poop-Powered Motorcycle to Travel Across Japan!

<a href="http://www.spoon-tamago.com/2011/09/30/toto-toilet-motorcycle-neo-biogas/" target="_blank">TOTO</a>, the top commode manufacturer in Japan, just unveiled an insane <a href="http://www.spoon-tamago.com/2011/09/30/toto-toilet-motorcycle-neo-biogas/" target="_blank">poop-powered motorcycle</a> topped with a toilet that will travel across the island nation to promote company's "Green Challenge" of reducing emissions 50% over the next five years. Dubbed the Toilet Bike Neo, the vehicle runs on biogas that is produced by an on-bike toilet, communicates in Japanese using LED lights, plays music, and TALKS. That’s right folks, poop and ride.

n just under a week, the toilet bike will begin a 100% <a href="http://inhabitat.com/panda-poop-unlocks-the-possibility-of-cheap-and-efficient-biofuel-production/" target="_blank">biogas-fueled journey</a> from Kyushu to Tokyo, making press stops to answer questions by inevitably bewildered spectators.

<a href="http://www.spoon-tamago.com/2011/09/30/toto-toilet-motorcycle-neo-biogas/" target="_blank">Toilet Bike Neo’s commode</a> rests atop a three-wheeled motorcycle, with receptacle tank behind the “seat.”

While we’re not actually sure how the thing works (or if the rider must “power” it while riding!), we anticipate more information to be revealed as the official October 6th launch date approaches.

Toilet Bike Neo’s tank is <a href="http://inhabitat.com/sloans-innovative-aqus-grey-water-toilet-system-makes-every-drop-count/" target="_blank">by no means a regular toilet</a> - it has something to say! As it travels down the highway, it writes messages in Japanese with LED lights. It also plays music and talks.

Like many of TOTO’s actual toilets, the toilet bike can chat to you while you’re doing your business on a variety of subjects like fortune-telling, stocks, or even the weather.
