Revolutionizing Urban Mobility: The Boon H2 Hydrogen-Powered E-Bike
Key Ideas
  • The Boon H2 e-bike, powered by hydrogen, offers extended range, shorter charging times, and reduced environmental impact, paving the way for zero-emission urban transport.
  • Innovative features include a hydrogen fuel cell that can be recharged at home using an electrolyzer, simplifying the adoption of hydrogen as an alternative fuel.
  • The e-bike has a removable hydrogen tank, providing a maximum range of 50 km with easily replaceable cartridges for longer journeys, and will be showcased at the Vivatech 2024 trade show in Paris.
  • HubUR plans to sell the complete kit of the Boon H2, a hydrogen tank, and hydrogen generator for approximately €6,000, making sustainable mobility more accessible to consumers.
In the pursuit of a greener future, the competition between electric batteries and hydrogen cells in the mobility sector is becoming evident. While hydrogen is still a relatively unexplored energy source in the realm of two-wheelers, the emergence of hydrogen-powered vehicles like the Boon H2 electric bicycle signifies a shift towards zero-emission urban transport. Developed by Irish startup HubUR, the Boon H2 eliminates the need for traditional batteries by utilizing a hydrogen fuel cell that can be charged at home with an electrolyzer. This self-sustaining feature not only simplifies the refueling process but also promotes the adoption of hydrogen as a viable alternative fuel. With a 50 km range and a top speed of 23 kph, the Boon H2 is designed for urban commutes, offering users a sustainable and efficient mode of transportation. The e-bike's construction features aluminum components, Shimano Tourney derailleur, and an LCD display for ease of use. HubUR's initiative to offer the complete kit at an affordable price of €6,000 aims to make eco-friendly mobility solutions accessible to a wider audience. The debut of the Boon H2 at Vivatech 2024 in Paris heralds a new era in sustainable urban transport, setting the stage for more innovative projects in the electric mobility sector.
