Anyone looked into hydrogen bikes?

Hydrogen Bicycle from Valeswood

So you use electricity to make Hydrogen to store and then to turn back into electricity.
Much more efficient to use the electricity directly as charging a battery is reasonably efficient, clean and easy.

As well as agreeing with Geebee, it also appears that according to the figures shown the whole thing will not work at temperatures below 5c - not too useful in this country during the winter.

I know of two previous ones. Aprilia made a hydrogen powered e-bike prototype ten years ago, at the same time as they made normal e-bikes.

There's also been a privately made hydrogen powered recumbent trike, large tank at 1000 lbs per square inch of pressure alongside the rear wheel and a 50 mile plus range. apparently worked very well. From memory it was Austrian I think.
