Default Is this the future of motorcycling?

The Honda Cub motorcycle by Sam Jilbert utilises the potential for a radically revised layout, dispensing with convention due to its use of a hydrogen fuel cell. For so long has mankind had an addiction to the internal combustion engine with its limitations of form and package layout, but now totally revised and interesting concepts can be created by placing or moulding the hydrogen power-plant components in unusual and previously unfeasible forms. Sam explains: “I’ve based this concept around the Honda Cub, which has been around for decades and is still very popular on the continent with locals and tourists alike. The Cub is very practical but this concept takes it to a new level, with a provocative image and being environmentally responsible, the new Cub should appeal to young city professionals and the young trendy market in general

That won't work.
The big hole is there so you can hang it on a nail in the garage wall when you get home...

An answer to a question no one asked? No brake handle? No place to put your feet? Plastic seat? Huge hole in the frame with no purpose? No apparent motor? It would be perfect for young trendies once they figure out what it actually does.
