Japan has a knack for coming out with mind-blowing products and their new poop-powered toilet, also known as Toilet Bike Neo, shouldn't come as a shock.
Officially revealed at the end of August, Toto, the creator, explained that the three-wheeled motorcycle can go as far as 180 miles at 45mph on a full tank of gas. Despite the tempting toilet that is placed perfectly for seating on the bike, Toto stresses that riders are not to gas up the vehicle with their own waste as the 'gas' for the bike is a mixture of "fertilized, purified livestock waste and gray-water." Unfortunately, Toto also announced that the vehicle will not be going into production.
The company also specializes in making toilets with a variety of gadgets such as heated seating, flushing sound effects (to muffle the awkwardness), and a bidet-integration.
