Suzuki has shown a Burgman scooter that is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell at the Tokyo Motor Show.
The scooter has a fuel cell engine from Intelligent Energy, a company that specializes in hydrogen power products and has operations in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan.
According to the company's boss, Dr. Henri Winand, motorcycles powered by fuel cells are "not simply for motor shows, and can be widely available to everyone in the near future." He says Intelligent Energy and Suzuki "will continue to work on clean fuel cell powered motorcycles and plan to hold demonstrations of the fuel cell scooter in the near future."
He didn't mention the Hindenburg, which curiously enough, shares part of its name with the hydrogen-powered scooter!
