ENV Bike

05 Aug 2008

A few years back, Intelligent Energy claimed their ENV Bike would redefine the future of alternative transportation. With 12 years of research under their belts, the developers still haven’t found anyone willing to invest in the project. And by looks of the website, it appears they’d prefer selling the design-in-progress altogether.

From ENV Bike:

“Here in America, we would love to see these products hit the market. But we lack the infrastructure needed to deliver, store, and dispense hydrogen into your vehicle. What is currently being done to bring these technologies? Not a lot. The oil companies have succeeded in keeping alternative fuels out of the mainstream.”

The relatively lightweight, emission-free bike runs entirely on hydrogen. More practical than any others on the market, the electrical bike will achieve 100 miles per tank and gain top speeds of 50 mph. By utilizing simple button controlling, inexperienced riders should be able to drive it without a problem. Expected production costs are around US$6,000.
