A few months few months ago, the U.S. company Segway introduced a prototype of a electric motorcycle powered by a hydrogen fuel cell with a launch date of 2023. Plans are to bring it to market before the end of that year, but until then the full-scale model had not been seen. However, the brand finally revealed how its design looks like brought to reality.
The electric motorcycle is called Apex H2 and its main mechanical feature is the environmentally friendly fuel system. However, its fully aerodynamic, futuristic and sporty design ( MotoE style), also figure as attractive presentation cards for its commercialization.
The concept shown in the past came as a surprise. Some people thought it might be changed by Segway, but the company’s engineers decided to stick with that sketch by retaining the radical features of the two-wheeler. The hydrogen storage tank and handlebars are virtually identical to the digital version.

The single-arm double swingarm geometry is evident on the electric bike’s design for the two suspensions. However, they cannot be fully, or deeply, appreciated, as they are located on the right side of the Apex H2, and the photographs revealed by Segway show the left profile most prominently.
The motorcycle’s specifications call for 60 kW (80 horsepower) and a top speed of 150 kilometers per hour. At the moment the autonomy is unknown, although the brand reported that the average consumption is one gram of hydrogen per kilometer traveled. Its price in China will be 69,999 yuan, which translates to 9,400 euros or 10,900 dollars approximately.
