R-Walker Selfsustaining Free Energy bike from Mexico

I think it only has an electric motor. No ICE.

I think this vehicle is a electric internal combustion hybrid.

for example the statements..

"It's based on the principle of converting energy through speed and distance travelled; the engine becomes self-sustaining,
generating more than 2,000 revolutions per minute.

A battery is used to spark ignition, and afterwards without using any combustion the vehicle can carry up to 110 kilograms
and travel at more than 60 kilometers per hour."

"The engine", "battery is used to spark ignition", "Without using any combustion"

argues people are seeing this wrong. I think this is a hybrid with two motors in parallel

There is a lot of evidence from the pictures. In one of the first pictures where he is kneeling besides the bike there
appears to be exhaust all over near his hand. Also there seems to be a spark plug under the heat shrink tubing in another.
In one of the videos he seems to be positioning his hand as if to feel a cool exhaust gas stream.

People are arguing that the bike is doing more then electricity alone is possibly capable of and I agree.

Either way it is a bad commentary on the people writing the article.

  The scooter is not a hydrid, and is not gas powered, as it has No gas motor.
  It utilizes a self regenarative charging system to keep the battery up. And, it is an all electric self sustaining design.
  It can run at a top speed of 25 kilometers per hour. Not 40kph, as somebody had mentioned.
   It's made and adapted from a bike frame.
  The small solar panels are for the blinkers, not for recharging the batteries.  There are no pedals to recharge the battery with.
  So, guys. Not free energy?  Or is it?  Nothing in life is free, except for life itself. 
  But, I'm sure we haven't heard the last of this.

I have already mentioned this in this thread, but here it is again in case anyone missed it.
I think at least one of the students are supposed to be showing their R-Walker bike in Bucharest, Romania which
takes place from Thursday May 14 to Monday May 18, for the world final Informatrix robotics competition.

Edit: 
Confirmed. Victor Ricardo Garcia and his teacher are in attendance at Informatrix in Bucharest

Why does an electric bike that recharges its own battery while running, need solar cells for the blinkers?

The solar cells shown in the video are quite small and may come as part of the head light assemblies.
In the video, they are mounted right above the small head lights, so they do seem to be associated with the head lights.
