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 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 […]
Continue ReadingIntelligent Energy and Suzuki Motor Co. have teamed up again to put a hydrogen fuel cell motorbike before the public.

Chengli Hung may not have the artistry (questionable at best) to sing and dance like William but what he does have is the artistic and mechanical ability to put forth an interesting hydrogen […]
Continue ReadingIn the past I’ve talked about hydrogen scooters and how the Greek geeks are making headway in fuel cell technology. Now, the first Greek hydrogen fuel cell scooter has been announced. The H2 Technologies & Renewable Energy Sources Department of Tropical S. A. delivered the first fuel cell scooter (pictured) to the Centre of Renewable […]
Continue ReadingVectrix Corporation from Newport, Rhode Island, known for their all-electric motor scooters is also developing a fuel cell motor scooter in collaboration with Parker Hannifin. The Vectrix VX-FCe fuel cell hybrid motor scooter contains a 500-watt Protonex NGenTM fuel cell and has a top speed of 62 mph with a range of 155 miles. The […]
Continue ReadingRooters for hydrogen scooters have gotten a treat this year as both Yamaha and an entrepreneur from Holland are showing off their latest vehicles. Crijn Bouman created the Fhybrid hydrogen scooter as a graduation project while at the Delft University in Holland. The Fhybrid is a hydrogen electric hybrid that is front-wheel drive, has a […]
