The university has produced 10 units so far, and six of them have been handed over to PPSPM for use.

Fairul said that there has been interest in the product from various parties, and PPSPM will carry out an in-depth study to determine if it is necessary to add more units of the bike to the river, reported Berita RTM.

"This water bike is still in its trial period. Currently, only staff members can use it to clean the Melaka River. If the feedback from this initiative is positive, we will produce more units," he said.

He added that in addition to cleaning the river, this invention has the potential to be the latest water vehicle for the Melaka River alongside the Melaka River Cruise, as it can potentially also be used for leisure rides along the river.
