Moped magic from Honda

"We’ve heard a lot about fuel cells (based on methanol or ethanol) recently being used to power laptops, phones, and PDAs, but Honda’s prototype fuel cell moped seems like a lot more fun. The FC Stack scooter is due out here sometime next year, and the company reckons it’s no weakling, being approximately equivalent to a 125cc gas-powered model. Freezing Nagano mornings should also be a breeze for the green machine, as the fuel cell is not susceptible to freezing the way a regular bike engine is. www.honda.co.jp/motor (Japanese)"
