It runs on an electric motor powered by a methanol fuel cell.

You can convert any gasoline powered motorcycle to run on alcohol with this:

I thought this was going to be about the car that goes underwater. Need to read slower.

I don't even need to click the link to tell you that no, the bike doesn't run on water. Hydrogen fuel is also a joke.

It looks like it could run on alien urine.

Actually, with a few simple mods, any normal gasoline powered car can be converted to run on nothing but water and old food. This link - click here - has all the info you need to do it yourself!

Funny, but there have been a few people that have modded their vehicles to run on blended foods with high oil content.
