This one has been making the rounds today. Thank to my boy Mark (UCF!) who found this on Engadget who got it from livescience.com courtesy of Fernando (Seen this on 2StrokeBuzz too).
Here’s what the wacky guys at Engadget had to say:
Engadget: “Not the first kind of hybrid when you think of a hybrid these days, the Fhybrid scoots from points A to B with a little bit of this (hydrogen) and a little bit of that (Li-ion cells). Oh sure, they could have just made it easy and gone with the reliable old NiMH batts, but where’s the fun in that? Crijn Bouman, who designed the Fhybrid at the Delft University of Technology, claims it’ll hit up to 40mph and has a range of 124 miles. In other words, plenty far enough to get a mouth full of bugs.”

What to do when you can’t find an expensive enough power source for your scooter? Put in TWO expensive power sources!
Why bother? Just about any motor is going to look environmentally friendly when it’s scooter-sized. Look at how long 2-strokes stuck around.
