HydrogenPowered Motorcycle A hit or a flop



Intelligent Energy, a British company, has recently announced its upcoming motorcycle named Emission Neutral Vehicle (ENV), the world's first hydrogen-powered bike. Said bike has a top speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) and range of at least 100 miles (160 km). It can run for four hours before the fuel cell needs recharging. A prototype of ENV was shown in London and it costs more than $8,300 (4,500).

ENV is lightweight, sleek and aerodynamic said its manufacturers. Its performance is comparable to any existing electrical bike.

The 'fuel cell' bike is also too quiet and lacks the exhilaration roar of the usual motorcycles. Concerns about this were already raised. One of the perceived drawbacks is that it might not be noticed by other traffic and pedestrians because of its quiet nature. The manufacturers suggest the use of fake engine noise device which can be switched off if not wanted. On the contrary, anti-noise campaigners welcomed the idea of a quiet motorcycle.

Sales experts are contemplating that said motorcycle will not be a hit in America because riders use motorcycles for leisure. On the other hand, they said that the same will sell much on other countries like China and India who are using motorcycles for everyday transportation.

This 'fuel cell' powered bike is set to come out next year. Albeit, contrary opinions among the riders, the conclusion of whether it will be a hit or not will be held in abeyance until it is made open to the market.
