Hydrogen-powered bike hits the market
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
The British Company Intelligent Energy is now selling a hydrogen fuel cell bike -- called an "emissions-neutral vehicle," or ENV -- that runs off of hydrogen stripped from bio fuels in California.
In the future, your Harley may start with a purr instead of a roar.
The motorcycle of the future may run on fuel cells and create no emissions.
A British company, Intelligent Energy, opened up a California sales office to sell its hydrogen fuel-cell bike, the ENV.
The bike runs on hydrogen stripped from bio fuels---anything from sunflower oil to soybeans.
A five-ounce can of hydrogen will power the bike up to 100 miles.
The first ENV bikes are slated to appear in the United States and the United Kingdom in 2007.
Company officials acknowledged that finding readily-available hydrogen is a problem right now.
It can be purchased from industrial chemical companies or at local welding shops, but it's not conveniently available for most consumers.
California now has six hydrogen refueling stations and promises to have 100 by 2010.
The current cost of fueling is $4 per tank, but that price is expected to come down to 25 cents.
