A new concept of electric bicycle (VAE) baptized “Alter Bike Gitane” was presented at the XXth congress of the club of cycle cities and territories which took place in Nice from May 29 to 31, 2013.
Fruit of a collaboration of three French companies (Cycleurope, Pragma Industries and Ventec), this new hydrogen bike turns out to be light, does not require any particular load platform and allows real flexibility of use.
Very environmentally friendly, it uses hydrogen in the form of a fuel cell to create electricity by rejecting water. Before offering it to the general public, Cycleurope plans to launch some pilot projects from its alter bike gypsy by first favoring bicycle rental systems.
