With more and more car developers making hybrid and electric cars, Suzuki is exploring the concept of hybrid motorcycles with their crosscage, a fuel cell powered bike with a unique engine and body design.

Crosscage's air cooled fuel cell designed by British company Intelligent Energy helps slim down this design by eliminating the need for a radiator or coolant system. Located just above the hydrogen fuel tank, the fuel cell is very compact, light, and powerful. It sends power to the motor controller which stores it in the lithium ion battery or sends it to the motor. Through combining oxygen in the air and hydrogen from the fuel tank to create power this motorcycle's exhaust is only water vapor thus helping reduce CO2 emissions and protect the environment. On a single tank of hydrogen the crosscage can travel about 200km and has the power equivalent of 125ccs.

The crosscage from which the motorcycle gets its name is not merely an aesthetic choice but also protects the hydrogen fuel tank which is located directly behind the intersecting point. There is also a sensor at the top of the chassis which constantly checks for hydrogen leaks and shuts off the fuel tank if there are any abnormalities.

@Okaseris That isnt entirely true. Sure we can choose to buy an electric or hydrogen vehicle however the only people who can afford to purchase said vehicles are the rich of the rich. If oil companies didnt strangle the market for these future vehicles than youd probably see WAY more of them and also see refueling stations for them as well. Technology is WAY more advanced than you think it is and we could have endless clean, reusable energy all over the world. The asses at the top dont allow it.

125ccs? thats all....? =/

@MrJdsusername So ignorant....

@wassup599 Isnt it amazing how people think these days? Society tells you more is better, power is important, and apparently you bought into it. Congratulations for being a sheep. Chock one more for the narrow minded who enjoy douching it up and making fun of people who enjoy different things.

@zamarahix lol /facepalm. They engineer electric engines with a damper because if you used it at its full potential you would blow out the engine imediatly. 100% torque 100% of the time. Sounds like power to me...

@GenerationPlaylist they have to be the future, once the oil runs out, in about 50 years. then it wont be oil companies talking over the world, it will be hydrogen companies ruling the world, competing with sun companies and wind companies. also companies that convert methane gas into electricity. so the correct thing to say would be there is no good future in oil.

The guy talking is obviously stoned.
