SiGNa Chemistry – $100,000
The E-Bike: Practical, Scalable, Pollution-Free Mobile Transportation by SiGNa Chemistry will develop the E-Bike, an affordable fuel-cell powered bicycle that provides both a clean, efficient mode of transportation and a portable, general purpose power source. The 300 W fuel-cell power module that powers the E-Bike will incorporate SiGNa’s unique clean energy storage solution, which operates at one-sixth the cost, weight and volume of existing battery technologies. The prototype bicycle will be rugged, lightweight, and have a base range of up to 100 miles, which is 300% farther than the range achieved by equivalently-sized high-performance batteries. The portable power module will be designed for easy removal from the bicycle so that it can also be used as a stand-alone power source for non-transportation functions. The only emissions from the E-Bike will be water vapor and air. Usually, scooters are powered by internal combustion engines (one of the highest emitters of green-house gases and air pollutants).
