BBC rides the ENV hydrogen bike, reports production may begin by the end of the year
Regular readers of our site are already familiar with the ENV, the first motorcycle that is fueled by hydrogen. This vehicle has been around in prototype stage for along time, and has been test ridden to death, so I won't go into any details. The general story is this: about 100 miles at 50 miles per hour on electricity generated by the hydrogen fuel cell.The bit that caught my eye in the story was that a BBC reporter, Richard Westcott, writes that the team behind the ENV is hoping to be in production by the end of the year. Until I see the official word, though, I'll still be skeptical. Here is a link to the video accompanying this story.

Ah, the foolishness of Hydrogen! This bike is REALLY powered by Electric Motors and Magic because it will take Magic to conjure up the Hydrogen. By the way, using Hydrogen to store electrons to power an electric vehicle is 4X LESS efficient than just using batteries. http://www.physorg.com/news85074285.html. I noticed they did not say how much the bike will cost. Fuel cells are NOT cheap and they have a very limited lifespan. Snicker…snicker… snicke…
