Every new technology needs an iconic design. And when you think about the 60s Dennis Hoper’s movie Easy Riders, it’s hard to imagine that no body would ever ride this silent clean clean clean fuel cell motorbike.

The ENV Bike looks just right perfect-for-the-next-decade: Light enough to turn ladies into motoriders, fast enough to please ultra nervous male riders, and grass-hopper-like minimalist design. Add to this, the versatility of the motor, that can pull from the two-wheels and act as a electrical power generator.

Any, the ENV (Emission Neutral Vehicle) motorcycles runs up to 80 kmph (around 50 mph) while producing almost no noise. The only rejection it makes is water than comes from the electrochemical reaction of its fuel cell batteries.
