Hydrogen Cars, Vehicles and Infrastructure
Features hydrogen bikes including fuel cell bicycles, scooters and motorcycles.
A little less than a week ago Linde unveiled their version of the world’s first hydrogen fuel cell bike (H2 Bike pictured above). This unveiling was on the heels of Pragma Industries showing off their world’s first hydrogen bike, the Alpha, on the first week of October. This begs the question of how many world’s […]
Continue ReadingPragma Industries are gearing up to rollout what they claim to be the first commercial hydrogen fuel cell bikes. They will be rolling out 100 Pragma Alpha fuel cell bikes in 2016 in France. According to the Telegraph, “The world’s first commercial electric bike running on hydrogen with only pure water as waste, so its […]
Continue ReadingNext week German e-bike maker Electrolyte will be showcasing their first hydrogen fuel cell bicycle. According to the manufacturer this e-bike can travel 300 miles before refueling. BikeBiz.com states, “German electric bike maker Electrolyte is to debut what it says is the world’s first cartridge hydrogen fuel cell electric bike at Eurobike next week. “Having […]
Continue ReadingThe Gitane Alter Bike by Cycleurope is said to be the first of its kind in the world. The hydrogen fuel cell e-bike uses a combination of fuel cell and lithium-ion batteries for power. The fuel cell hybrid bike’s advantages over regular electric bikes is short recharging times, longer range and no plugin infrastructure will […]
Continue ReadingThe last time I talked about APFCT I gave an update about their fuel cell microcar and FCV scooter program in Taiwan. What is unique about both of these programs is the swappable canister (compressed hydrogen tank) aspect where a rider or driver can swap out fuel tanks in about 1 minute and go on […]
Continue ReadingPedego Electric Bikes and SiGNa Chemistry have developed a hydrogen fuel cell range extender for their line of electric bicycles. According to the Pedego press release, “The announced battery-fuel cell hybrid system is compatible with all existing Pedego bicycles and batteries. For every 1.5 lbs. of weight a rider carries, an additional 700 watt-hours of […]
Continue ReadingIn the Wizard of Oz it was lions and tigers and bears, Oh My! And now hydrogen delayers and deniers may be saying the same thing about hydrogen microcars, scooters and bicycles. On one continent (not North America) a company called APFCT has won a contract to produce a fleet of hydrogen fuel cell microcars […]
Continue ReadingYesterday, I talked about the APFCT hydrogen scooter taking a road trip around Taiwan. On this trip the empty hydrogen tank was swapped out for a fresh tank several times in less than 3 minutes. This got me to thinking about worldwide scooter sales and where gasoline scooters could be replaced by hydrogen fuel cell […]
Continue ReadingFor a while now, I’ve talked about the U. S., Europe, Japan and perhaps even South Korea and key areas of developed for hydrogen vehicles and fueling stations. Now, I may have to include Taiwan into this category as well. Asia Pacific Fuel Cell Technologies (APFCT) has just completed a 620 mile test drive of […]
Continue ReadingWell, this is the week for hydrogen bikes and scooters as we have two separate developments in these areas. First up is the ACTA hydrogen bike which was exhibited at the EICMA Motor Show in Milan, Italy. This hydrogen assisted bike can either be motivated by pedal power or fuel cell. The hydrogen is stored […]
