Although running these Bikes cheap but the Power Stations are still Polluting the environment. But if the Fuels in the Power Stations are changed to Water which produces HHO derived from electrolysis of Water to produce Electricity then it will be pollution free for the environment and the Electricity tariff could be further reduced. So all these bikes could be de facto running on Water & Lead only
