How does a hydrogen bike work?

It’s literally a “just add water” process to generate your own fuel. Once on the bike, the ride is as zero emissions as a battery-powered bicycle. Or, almost as zero emissions, as long as you don’t count the occasional drops of pure water produced by the hydrogen fuel cell on board the bike.

How much hydrogen does an ebike hold?

The HYRYD container is installed in the ebike's frame, and holds 20 g of H2 at around 1 MPa Either way, that hydrogen is transferred to a 25-cm-tall (9.8-in) bottle-like container at an internal pressure of 1 MPa.

How does a hydrogen tank work?

Those little hydrogen tanks, around the size of a 500 mL water bottle, hold enough hydrogen for around 60 km or 36 miles of riding. They feed hydrogen into an on-board hydrogen fuel cell, which uses a chemical process to convert the hydrogen into electricity, with the only output being water.

Are hydrogen bikes safe?

The range comes in three models: foldable, sport, and rental or sharing bikes. For the company, their hydrogen rides are believed to outperform e-bikes in refueling speed and are dubbed safe and secure with low-carbon and environmental protection.

Will hydroride Europe have a hydrogen generator?

Alongside the series of bikes, HydroRide Europe is expected to launch a hydrogen generator that the riders can use at home. With 200mL of water, the machine may be able to generate 20 grams of ‘green hydrogen’. This byproduct is injected into the removable water tank, which has a design resembling a water bottle.

How many miles can a hydrogen tank hold?

But when you turn the key and pop the “battery” lid, you’ll quickly realize it’s hiding a little green bottle instead of a blue shrink-wrapped battery. Those little hydrogen tanks, around the size of a 500 mL water bottle, hold enough hydrogen for around 60 km or 36 miles of riding.
