How to maintain a hydrogen bike?
The maintenance of ahydrogen bicycleis simple and accessible, especially with the modelsCity,CrossandSportfrom Velhy, designed for daily and lasting use. Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions about the maintenance of thishydrogen vehicleinnovative.
What are the standard maintenance steps to perform on a hydrogen bike?
As with everything.electric city bike, the mechanical components must be maintained regularly:
Clean with a damp cloth (avoid high-pressure jets)
Lubricate the chain every 100 to 150 km.
Checking brakes and tire pressure
Store in a place protected from prolonged humidity.
These actions ensure the safety and durability of the bicycle in everyday use.
How to maintain the hydrogen system of a Velhy bicycle?
The maintenance of the hydrogen system isminimal, thanks to the low-pressure technology developed by Velhy:
Thehydrogen generator(or electrolyzer) simply requires regular rinsing and the use of purified water.
Thehydrogen tankrequires no technical maintenance: it is durable (several decades) and secure.
Thefuel cellhas a very long lifespan (10,000 to 20,000 cycles) and does not require any special maintenance.
How to properly recharge and use your hydrogen bike on a daily basis?
To optimize the performance of yourHydrogen-powered cross bike, city orsport:
Recharge ittank with the supplied generator, by following the simple and secure instructions.
Avoid leaving a full tank unused for extended periods.
Keep the bicycle protected from extreme temperatures.
These best practices extend the lifespan of components and ensure optimal system performance.
Is a hydrogen-powered bicycle easier to maintain than a conventional electric bicycle?
Yes, because theVelhy hydrogen bikeis based on a systemwithout lithium battery, therefore:
No battery replacement every 1000 cycles
Very low use of rare metals
Low waste related to component wear.
It's a more sustainable choice, easier to maintain, and aligned with the values of ahydrogen mobilityresponsible.
