A futuristic hyper bike powered by hydrogen fuel could signify the end of electric bikes (e-bikes) for good, offering impressive refueling potential.

    I wonder who might benefit from attempting to steer people away from e-bikes and towards hydrogen, instead of technology that already works and might decrease car usage.

      To build on that - despite bike companies trying their hardest to over complicate things - e-bikes are fairly straightforward to build, maintain and modify.

      Tons of great (and safe but not cheap) DIY kits out there too which help make old bikes new again.

      My e-bike is an old 90s MTB with a 220km range ( at the lowest assist level and 32km/hr top speed). That doesn’t include the benefits I get from regen braking when riding it in urban / suburban areas.
