Social benefits, Government Grants, "Green". Excuse me while I puke........

I guess the question to ask is if the Israeli government is as heavy-handed as ours to its own citizens. If it respects the patents he gets on this creation and does not try to usurp control of what he does, what else is there to worry about?

"Because you get a lot of government grants, it brings down the production costs to zero, so the bicycles can be given away for free. "
So government steals taxes from existing bicycle manufacturers and hands a small part over to an inventor who could have been hired by a bike maker with a lot less wasted on looters.
Doesn't sound "free" to me. Just another taxpayer promoted solution looking for a problem.
I love the inventors dedication; I hate the process he must go through to finance his dream.
