WIKE - The Wash Bike is a "green" concept aimed at situations where electricity and water are in scarce supply or it is simply too expensive to use a commercial washing machine. WIKE is a pedal powered washing machine that uses ZERO electricity and up to 60% less water than typical washing machines. Being able to enjoy a healthy lifestyle with the regular use of the WIKE as an exercise bike is an added benefit of the product.
