Hybrid motorbike powered by muscle power and an electric motor with the current generated by a fuel cell

A two wheel motor vehicle with hybrid propulsion system for driving a drive wheel comprising:

• a vehicle frame supporting a front wheel and a back wheel and a seat;
• a front axle supporting the front wheel;
• a rear axle supporting the rear wheel;
• a pedal crank;
• said vehicle having a fuel tank, a fuel cell for generating electricity, a battery, and an electric motor for powering a drive wheel and controls for the fuel cell and electric motor;
• said electric motor having a rotor and a stator forming a first propulsion source with a first rotation per minute(rpm) and a first torque, and a second propulsion source with a second rpm and a second torque, with the stator of the electric motor rotatably arranged on one of an axle and a shaft of a drive train between the pedal crank and the drive wheel which can be mechanically connected with the second propulsion source so that the stator is driven by the second propulsion source, and the rotor of the electric motor having a rotational speed that that corresponds to a sum of the first rpm of the first propulsion system and the second rpm of the second propulsion system.

A two wheel motor vehicle with a hybrid propulsion system for driving a drive wheel comprising:

• a vehicle frame supporting a front wheel and a back wheel and a seat;
• a front axle supporting the front wheel;
• a rear axle supporting the rear wheel;
• a pedal crank for supplying muscle power;
• said vehicle having a fuel tank, a fuel cell for generating electricity, a battery, and an electric motor for powering a drive wheel and controls for the fuel cell and electric motor;
• and
• said drive wheel having a planetary-gear train having sun wheel (3) driven by an electric motor, a crown gear (6) driven by said muscle power, and a planetary-gear carrier (5) of the driven wheel 114 of the hybrid drive vehicle, said planetary-gear carrier (5) providing a power take-off to the drive wheel 114.

A two wheel motor vehicle of claim powered at least in part by a fuel cell comprising:

• a vehicle frame supporting at least one front wheel and one back wheel and a seat, said frame forming an opening between the wheels for the placement and attachment to the frame of a power module;
• a front axle supporting any front wheel;
• a rear axle supporting any rear wheel;
• a pedal crank powered by muscle power;
• a power module, said module including a fuel cell, battery, and control means for controlling the power to a wheel of the vehicle;
• a fuel tank;
• means for detachably attaching the power module to the frame;
• an electric motor for powering a drive wheel of the vehicle;
• said drive wheel having a planetary-gear train having sun wheel (3) driven by an electric motor, a crown gear (6) driven by said muscle power, and a planetary-gear carrier (5) of the driven wheel 114 of the hybrid drive vehicle, said planetary-gear carrier (5) providing a power take-off to the drive wheel 114.
