Description
Riding a Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bike is the best way to stand out from the crowd and get noticed. Because Alor is a futuristic-looking electric bike powered by hydrogen. You will get noticed because you are eco-sustainable and cutting-edge. Many today use an e-bike for their daily commute, but how many have a hydrogen bike?
In short, the operation is as follows. The fuel cell mixes hydrogen with air and produces electricity and water in the form of steam. Then the movement of hydrogen molecules across an electrolyte membrane generates the current that drives the motor. During stops, such as at traffic lights, the electricity produced by the fuel cell stack recharges the battery. With this configuration the fuel cell stack is complementary to the battery. The battery, in fact, is ready to assist the fuel cell stack when the motor requires maximum power. As in the case of uphill routes. The electric bike includes the plug & play fuel cell stack, the hydrogen storage cylinder, the controller.

Fuel Cell Stack Features
The main component of a hydrogen bicycle is the fuel cell stack which forms the heart of a fuel cell power system. In fact, it is precisely the electrochemical reactions that take place in the fuel cell that generate the electricity necessary to power the engine. Since a single fuel cell produces less than 1 volt, we tend to combine individual fuel cells in series. In this way we obtain a stack of fuel cells that provides the necessary power to our engine. In our bike the fuel cell power is 300W.
Hydrogen Storage System
Storage hydrogen is the most delicate problem in hydrogen fuell cell system. We offer a practice metal hydrides gas cylinder where hydrogen is stored at low pressure (less than 10 bar). The hydrogen is stored in the safest way with the absorption through metal hydride.
What is Included in Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Bicycle
This Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bike arrives at your home ready for use. In the box you will find the battery, the 110/220 V battery charger, hybrid power electronics (battery – fuel cell controller), the fuel cell and hydrogen storage cylinder. And if there is no hydrogen charging center in your city, you can purchase our home hydrogen electrolyzer.
Green Hydrogen Electrolyzer
Hydrogen production is based on the use of distilled water and electricity. In fact, with the electrolysis process, pure hydrogen is obtained by transforming water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. Of course the source of electricity and the efficiency of the electrolysers is crucial to producing hydrogen sustainably. The production of so-called green hydrogen is based on the use of renewable energy to power the electrolysis process. This is why we provide a kit of solar panels free of charge to those who purchase the electrolyser.
How a Home Hydrogen Electrolyzer Works
To produce 99.99% pure hydrogen, simply pour distilled water into the appropriate tank and turn on the switch. So you get a flow rate of 40 liters per hour at a pressure of 1 MPa. But let’s explain how the electrolysis process works. The heart of an electrolyser is the polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM). Here the separation between oxygen and positively charged hydrogen ions (protons) occurs. As you can see, operation is very simple, furthermore our electrolyser takes up little space (Dimensions: 450x220x420mm). In addition, it is 100% green because it is powered by built-in solar panels. But obviously in case of rain you can use the 110/220V domestic socket. Electricity consumption is however very low, 200-250W.
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Bike Additional Notes
We supply a complete electric bike, but upon request we can only supply the hydrogen fuel cell kit. Furthermore we can provide customized turnkey hydrogen fuel cell solutions for any mobility project.
The hydrogen is stored in a metal hydride cylinder at low pressure. This cylinder must be refilled with pure hydrogen only by qualified technicians at designated service stations. Or with your electrolyser that you can purchase together with the bicycle. Please Contact us.
