world's first hydrogen electric bicycle

Posted by Picasa
Electric bicycle is the environment-friendly vehicle with which we are all very familiar. Just think, how do you feel if we replace the lead-acid batteries, lithium batteries with hydrogen fuel cells, will it be wonderful if riding a green hydrogen fuel cell bike?

Now this is no longer a dream, recently, Celimo vehicle manufacturing company of Hongdou Group and Shanghai Panye cooperatively developed the new generation of fuel-cell bike for us. New "green angel" series of fuel cell bike refresh a number of China's first: the first fuel cell bicycles that export in mass; first CE certified fuel cell bike (products that only pass the CE certificationcan can be exported to Europe only) .

"Green Angels" also marked the birth of the world's first fuel cell bike that can truly be put into commercial. It makes a breakthrough in aspects of fuel cell's power density, system reliability and useful life. And most of the key raw materials (the fuel cell membrane, catalyst and bipolar board) are made by our own country, so we own the complete independent intellectual property rights on core technologies. It reflects on many aspects the progress and break that china fuel cell technology has achieved since the "9th Five-Year" science and technology research, from the localization of key raw materials, the commercialization of fuel cell applications, to fuel battery. At the same time, the entire vehicle is optimized according to the characteristics of the fuel battery, and its body is aluminum alloy, so that it is lighter than the general ones. Its cruising power is 75 km and can run 25 km per hour. Currently this kind of electric bicycle has a total of 19 technology patents both home and abroad, of which 12 inventing patents and two foreign patents.
The main distinctions between Hydrogen fuel cell batteries and ordinary ones are: common battery is a kind of energy storage device, which is to store power and release it when is necessary while hydrogen fuel cell, strictly speaking, is a device of power generation, like power plants, which is an electrochemical device that directly generates the chemical energy into electricity. In addition, the hydrogen fuel cell electrode is made by special porous materials, which is a key technology for hydrogen fuel cell. It not only provides greater contact area for gases and electrolytes, but also has a catalytic effect on chemical reactions of the battery.

Now fuel cell car lead the way for the development of new energy automobile, and is accepted by more and more people. However, it is much more than that on its usage, for example, it can also be used on the bike. Celimo's success is a good test and proves.

Hydrogen fuel cell is high efficiency on power generation and less environmental pollution. As a new type of energy, it has a easy and practical use. Just seeing the unlimited potential to the development of fuel cell bike, Celimo, which is making a great progress on technological innovation, carried out a bold exploration and try.

Celimo aims to make the green angel which has dozens of domestic and foreign patents the world's first commercial fuel cell vehicle. Shanghai will be the first place for the "green angels" conquest to the world and it had its debut on the 18th China International Bicycle Exhibition. In the 2008 World Fair in Spain, the vehicle was also brought into service.
