“In a 12 month period we’ve seen the power go up and price cut in half, the size cut in half. There are so many people in the fuel cell business right now. I think we’ll see fuel cell price performance improvement similar to computer chips (editor: Moore’s Law) for the next few years.

“There’s very interesting opportunity here in showcasing what can be done with electrical power in a two wheel vehicle. You’re not fighting the big powerful automotive companies for attention in this market and a motorcycle is an ideal showcase for the performance.

The RMOTO will be special – this is not just seen as a concept but one we can see developed and manufactured – maybe at the beginning of its life it’s an exotic – but we can see a time when bikes such as the rMOTO are producable and available cost-efficiently for everyone.”
