Specifications

The vehicle weighs approximately 32 kg. It uses a proton-exchange membrane fuel cell to generate about 200 Watts.

It can reach approximately 25 km/h and, on a full tank, may ride a distance of 60 to 100 kilometres. The motor is a brushless motor. The bike will sell (2007) for approximately US$2500, with further prices going down to $500.

As stated by the manufacturer, those who already have a bike don't need to change the original frame structure; the fuel cell can be directly integrated into the original bicycle.
