Segway APEX H2: the amazing hydrogen motorcycle from Xiaomi

More than 10 years after the first gyropod revolutionized soft mobility, Segway, which entered the fold of the Xiaomi group in 2015 through its subsidiary Ninebot, is betting on the launch of the first hydrogen motorcycle called from APEX H2 ...

This project is the culmination of the first concept, called the H1, which came out at the end of 2019. The circuit was tested in 2020, its motor, on the other hand, was powered by a conventional battery.

The originality of the approach lies in the use of a hydrogen-electric hybrid configuration powered by a solid carbide fuel cell. The latter will be in the form of a small "tin can" providing unparalleled safety, which should allow this hydrogen bike to be equipped with multiple units that are easy to replace and then recharge. No need to stop for refueling en route!

Absolutely futuristic, with a fluid design, clean lines and a very strong visual identity, this "road warrior" will undoubtedly find its place in the scripts of more than one sci-fi movie.

The selling price is about 9 euros.

In terms of performance, APEX H2 is announcing promising numbers. She will erase 0 to 100 km / h in less than 4 seconds thanks to a 60 kW (80 hp) engine. V the maximum speed is declared at the level of 150 km / h which will comfortably open the fastest routes for him. The only unknown is autonomy. If the Segway claims to use 1 gram of hydrogen per km, nothing is mentioned about the amount of fuel on board. What remains is to develop an accessible and dense enough hydrogen distribution network to ensure the smooth use of this vehicle.

To enable APEX H2 to absorb the bitumen of our roads from 2023, the manufacturer decided to offer co-financing... The operation is set to see the light of day as soon as the project has attracted the interest of 99 adventure-ready enthusiasts, who will be registered by April 30, 2021. The last argument that will definitely help the Segway position itself favorably in the race for innovation. APEX H2 should sell for around € 9..

You can bet that this approach will be successful and will allow you to see the result of the project. A case to follow!
