While electric power may be current, sexy alternative fuel source for motorcycles at the moment, a company whose whole existence is come up with different ways to power our world thinks compressed air may be the way to ride.

W2 Energy, Inc., a North American green technology company located in Guelph, Ontario, is hinting at a small compressed-air version of its SteamRay rotary engine. Although designed specifically to power vehicles, the latest version has been customized to power a motorcycle.

And teasing even more, the company claims its being used by a motorcycle manufacturer in their latest creations.

“We at W2 Energy think that compressed-air vehicles are one of the hot trends in high-efficiency, low-pollution vehicles,” says Mike McLaren, President and CEO of W2 Energy.

Electric powered motorcycles are available to the everyday consumer for riding on and off road, with performance models racing in internationally recognized competitions. But the Ontario based laboratory thinks compressed air should should be considered for everyone's favorite two-wheeled past time.

Rather than filling a tank with fuel, the latest technology looks to compressed air to drive a bikers favorite ride. The compressed air can be either charged at home or while riding.

W2 Energy relates their system to scuba-type tanks.

“These vehicles will be quiet, incredibly fast, and very powerful. I look forward to driving one myself,” says McLaren.
