Linde Group Created a Hydrogen Bike

Use the hydrogen (H2) to power vehicles is not a new idea, but it is the first time it os applied in a bike. The H2 has been introduced as an alternative to a commom electrical motor. The battery is replaced with a compact fuel cell and generates its own electricity using a 34-gram cylinder of hydrogen and oxygen it takes from the surrounding air. Currently, this hydrogen fuel cell offers a range of over 100 km.

The H2 is the most commonly element in the nature and is a easy sustainable energy that can be produced by electrolyzing water and when this is done using a renewable energy source such as wind power or by reforming gas, it is a completely carbon-neutral process. Hydrogen burns cleanly, with water vapor as its sole byproduct when converted in a fuel cell. The H2 is also easier to recharge. A regular e-bike battery can take several hours to charge completely, but the H2’s hydrogen cylinder requires just six minutes at a hydrogen filling station.

The H2 byke is completely designed by Lind Group an international suplier of gases for industry, which could mean that the brand is interested in looking for market for this new product.
