BMW Kunst hydrogen power concept bike

Does this signal the end of suck, squeeze, bang, blow?

Posted: 9 March 2010
by Visordown News


IT'S ONLY A matter of time before we start seeing hydrogen-powered bikes on our roads and here's the latest thinking of the concept from France.

Design students at International School of Design (ISD) at Valenciennes have concocted a machine using styling cues from some of BMW's current models, most notably the HP2 Sport.

Dubbed BMW HP Kunst, the concept uses a hydrogen fuel cell for power, with a 20-litre cryogenic cylinder taking the place of a normal combustion engine.

The rest of the bike looks comparitively 'normal'.

Enjoy petrol power while you can, folks. It won't be around forever.
