Suzuki unveils hydrogen bike

[motorbyclist]

True but if its a fuel cell it won't use much energy when stopped in traffic like a combustion engine does. If you think of Hydrogen fuel cells as re-chargable batteries which is what they are in effect, they can be eco friendly if the power is generated efficiently in the first place - using off peak power overnight to charge/split your fuel or something.

lithium is much more efficient and simply gets plugged into the wall

plus they're (mostly) recyclable

looks interesting.
i personally think hydrogen wont take off - as to much investment is required by the supplier.
Why aren't there any bikes with solar panel fairings yet? Its a simple enough concept - and probably cheaper than GSP?

solar panels are too weak, and fairings are mostly in shade. heck even a car covered in panels wouldn't recieve enough power to drive it at any speed... and most houses have higher energy consumption than useable solar energy (not that using rooftops for power is a bad idea, it's a very good idea even if only to heat water)

plus i like my bike to work at night

You must be really be bored, check out these comic sites. PBFcomics and CreasedComics - most are completely unintelligible, but some are brilliant.

That's right, I don't sleep.
