Hydrogen bike is launched in China
By Gareth Powell March 19th, 2008
Shanghai Pearl Hydrogen Power Source Technology unveiled its environmentally clean hydrogen fuel cell bike at an international fair in Shanghai recently. The bike is comprised of a battery tank and a pair of hydrogen gas bottles making it look different than other electric bikes.
It only takes 30 minutes to refill the gas bottles where is can take over 3 hours to recharge an electric battery and a battery can weight twice as much as the hydrogen system.
The new bike can complete a trip of about 100 kilometers at about 25 km/h and costs about $2,632 dollars, although it is expected to drop to about $550 after they enter mass production.
Of course you will have to find a refueling station to provide hydrogen for the bike. And do you want to ride around sitting on a tank of hydrogen? Just a thought.
