Test riding first hydrogen bike (BBC)

Riding the world's first purpose-built hydrogen-powered motorbike may be environmentally friendly - and fun - but where does it leave its more traditional petrol-driven cousin?

Weird. Weird and fun. That's what it's like to ride the world's first purpose-built hydrogen fuel cell motorbike.

The only noise is from the tyres and the wind whistling through your crash helmet. People don't look around as you approach - they just stare after you've gone past.

The ENV (Emissions Neutral Vehicle, envy for short) accelerates like a 125cc scooter. It's smooth and easy to control, will do 50mph and has a range of 100 miles.

All that, and the only garbage you're belching into the atmosphere is water vapour.

Very hefty price tag, but it's a first-off, so we knew that.
