Yes, it can walk. If you watch the interview again, the inventor says it's an off-the-shelf robot, which he (the inventor) modified to ride the bike .The
inventor custom built the bike for the robot. The video has English subtitles , if you can't understand Japanese.

Also note, the electronics for the bike riding are in a back-pack on the robots back.
