These bikes were designed by the British team Intelligent Energy. The ENV bike is fully-functional and is based around their Core Fuel Cell from the ground up. The Core, which is completely detachable from the bike, is a compact fuel cell, capable of powering anything from a motorboat to a small domestic property.
In an urban or off-road environment, it can reach speeds of 50 mph.
It is also virtually silent (with noise equivalent to an everyday home computer) and its emissions are almost completely clean.
On a full tank, the ENV bike could be used continually for up to four hours without any need for re-fuelling. The bike can also be used by riders of any skill level with simple controls, via a throttle directly linked to the applied power. The bike has no gears and is strictly defined as a motorbike, although it feels to riders more like a very quick and responsive mountain bike.
They have not revealed a release date or price for this bike.

This is lame.
Develop a true motorcycle without sacrificing power or range.
There are enough electric scooters on the market.
