Abstract
Fuel cell vehicles are aimed to be a new way of environmentally friendly transport. But they face significant problems in terms of costs and infrastructure. Only with demonstration projects and governmental or company subsidies fuel cell vehicles are so far possible. But there is a market for private fuel cell vehicles for personal transport which is viable even without subsidies based on latest current fuel cell technology. It is the niche market of high end fuel cell electric bicycles. Based on latest cost reduction of fuel cell systems and the strong growing market of the high end electric bicycles in Europe, USA and Japan there is a market for fuel cell electric bicycles coming up.
