Saint Thomas Academy Students Designed Green Motorcycle

Not that I would actually drive that ‘green’ motorcycle but I think it’s a great idea and had to be mentioned.

Designed by Saint Thomas Academy students with the help of a $10,000 InvenTeams grant from the Lemelson-MIT program this enclosed green motorcycle scoot about for 40 miles and reach 60 miles-per-hour thanks to its battery-driven Briggs and Stratton ETEK electric motor.

If that wouldn’t be enough to be considered HOT, they’ve even attached a GPS unit to make sure you get the right turn when you go to work in the morning. With the high oil and gas prices these days this seems like a good solution but I’m not sure if it will ever see production. If it helps, I’d test-drive one of these!
