The creation of the world's first motorbike to run on hydrogen could be our greatest weapon against climate change.

A revolution in the way we travel could be on its way. In an age where carbon emissions are an ever-growing concern, scientists have created the world's first hydrogen-powered motorbike in a bid to tackle climate change. The motorbike, known as an ENV (emissions neutral vehicle), works by hydrogen reacting with oxygen to create electricity. The bi-product? Water, which the bike's designers claim is pure enough to drink.  With a top speed of 50mph, a range of at least 100 miles and a continuous run time of four hours before it needs recharging, the 'fuel cell' bike is perfectly designed for city living and, if it goes into mass production, could dramatically reduce pollution levels. Major car manufacturers are currently working on manufacturing 'fuel cell' cars, and a 'fuel cell' aeroplane is also in development.

Harry Bradbury, chief executive of the bike's British manufacturers Intelligent Energy, told the BBC that he believes the bike's detachable, briefcase-sized cell or 'core' could eventually be used as a mobile energy source, with the same cell used to power different objects.

The response to this revolutionary piece of technology that could potentially abate the devastating effects of climate change? Motorcycle enthusiasts are complaining that the bike makes no noise, taking away some of the thrill of riding one. Seriously? Saving the planet or a vroom vroom sound? Seems like a no-brainer to us.
