Hydrogen fuel cell technology is relatively uncommon when compared to battery electric vehicles especially recently, though that may yet change with the emergence of a hydrogen fuel-cell scooter patent attributed to Indian motorcycle manufacturer TVS, according to Motorcycle News.
The patent filing image here shows what could be a pair of hydrogen tanks located behind the downtube of the scooter’s frame, while the filler for the hydrogen is located at the front of the scooter just below its headlight.

Meanwhile, the fuel cell recharges the battery when power demands are lower, according to the magazine.
