Ninebot wants to make electric Segway hydrogen motorcycle

Segway parent company Ninebot has published concept images of a Segway motorcycle to run on hydrogen. According to Segway, the engine will actually be built and should be available from 2023.

The Segway Apex H2 has a futuristic design where hydrogen can be added through interchangeable metal capsules. These are apparently easy to add to the engine. It is not clear how Segway intends to realize an infrastructure for these hydrogen buses.

The engine must in any case deliver a power of 60 kW or 80 hp and the sprint from standstill to 100 km/h must be completed within four seconds. The top speed would be 150 km/h, making the engine also suitable for highways. The price is 70,000 Chinese yuan, converted that is more than 9,000 euros.

Ninebot already unveiled a concept for an electric motorcycle at the end of 2019, called the Ninebot Apex. The new Segway Apex H2 should probably be seen as a potential successor to this earlier concept.

Segway was acquired in 2015 by the Chinese transportation company Ninebot. Then Ninebot also received an investment of 80 million dollars, in which Xiaomi invested, among others. Segway and Ninebot were still involved in a dispute in 2014, because, among other things, Ninebot would infringe on Segway’s patents.
