Default Re: Hydrogen Powered Bike

Unfortunately while an IC engine will quite happily burn hydrogen you need a larger fuel tank than for petrol and seeing that it's already a struggle to fit enough of a tank on a bike you're really going to struggle to fit a pressure tank on a bike. I can't remember the exact figures but I once worked it out once and IIRC figured you'd get about a 50mile range if you managed to fit a 20l tank. That would also weigh far more than a petrol bike.

Unless there is some kind of break through in hydrogen storage a hydrogen powered IC bike just isn't feasable for any kind of range.
