Segway, the company that is known for its one-of-a-kind self-balancing scooters, has announced a new Tron-inspired motorbike called the Segway Apex H2. It’s a futuristic take on a regular racing motorcycle. However, unlike traditional fuel-engine bikes, the Segway Apex H2 is equipped with a hybrid hydrogen-electric powertrain to deliver the required horsepower.
Ever since Xiaomi-backed Ninebot, a Chinese startup acquired Segway in 2015, it started focusing more on electric vehicles. The company started developing vehicles ranging from four-wheelers and delivery robots to go-karts and, of course, e-bikes. So, with the launch of the Apex H2, it seems like Segway is aiming to make motorbike racing environment-friendly.
Coming to the acceleration, the Apex H2 has some impressive figures to boast in the department. It has a top speed of 150 kmph. Moreover, the company claims that the Apex H2 can reach 0-100 kmph in under 4 seconds, which is pretty crazy for a hydrogen-powered two-wheeler.
The Apex H2 is set to enter production in 2023. The company will produce the crowdfunded project only after 99 pre-orders. The motorcycle is priced at CNY 69,999 (Rs. 8.98 lakh).
