    It would also allow to do a small afternoon tour, e.g. jumping on the bike and going 200-300 km through nature just to chill, and then back home. Right now this means a 1 min break at a petrol station, as commonly after 200-250 km you have to refill.

    With battery bikes and data sheet ranges of ‘up to’ 180 km, with 70 kg passenger at constant 45 km/h, you probably get to 20% charge after 80 km already to recharge to 80% within an hour. So after an hour waiting you just get enough to barely make it back home.

    As you say, with hydrogen it would allow for shorter breaks, enabling to do a small afternoon tour at all. And I’m not that stingy about a 1min or 5min break to refill.
