[Ducati] Uno Cycle ?

Well for sure I was joking. But I'm not sure what about that design is  
better than existing solutions to pollution in China. And it dies seem like the  
production process with all that plastic isn't very efficient but I don't know  
much about things like that.

"The Uno was invented by 18-year-old  Ben J. Poss Gulak.  Motorcycle
Mojo<http://www.motorcyclemojo.com/articles/the-uno/>has the  story of
how the Canadian engineering prodigy built the Uno. He had
been  impressed by the pollution in China, which led him to come up with a
workable  electric motorcycle. Gulak's ideas inspired everyone from a
software salesman  to a top motorcycle mechanic to help him out. The model
showcased at the  Motorcycle Show is his third prototype."
