No more pedal power needed
For cyclists who find those steep hills a bit of a challenge there is a new product that may in the future make all those struggles a thing of the past.
VETD a UK based environmental technology development company, are to market their new lightweight hydrogen fuel cell powered pedal bike, the bike are available in three different sizes, which will produce between 14 to 156 volts or up to 220 volts if it is used as art of a power pack, the fuel cell will hold up to 40 liters of hydrogen.
Hydro cell as it is known as, is a lightweight rechargeable hydrogen fuel cell, that has an internal metal hydride store, this is a more comical version as the battery pack core is alkaline, compared to the other ones which have a platinum core and therefore more expensive.
The bike has a range of around 60 miles on one tank of the hydrogen fuel; the fuel is the standard grade, which is considerably cheaper than the other types of hydrogen fuel.
The price of this bike is around $1400 (£700).
