Hydrogen scoots? Who makes them? Guess there aren't many hydrogen fuel stations around if they run out! Wouldn't like to have any lighted cigarettes too close.....

I've seen the Community Support 'Zero' scooter a couple of time around Catford / Downham...
looks a big-ish scoot - think they are the Hydrogen Experiment Burgers from a few years back...

This is not something that I wish to actually put to the test, but seem to remember my physics teacher telling me that liquid petrol only burns relatively slowly - whilst petrol vapor (ie petrol & air mixed) is of course extremely explosive (or at least burns extremely quickly)...hence its use in engines!

Whereas hydrogen fuel cell scoots aren't that dangerous, actually. From MCN (yes, I know) back in 2011 - "The fuel cell Burgman's gas tank has withstood bullet-attack, fire and high-speed impacts on its way to gaining EU type-approval. Spilled hydrogen disperses rapidly and is harder to ignite after only a few seconds than petrol."
