Electric scooter with on-board charging system

A two wheeled electric scooter comprising:

• a scooter frame including a compartment shaped and sized to accommodate a battery power supply;
• an electric motor connected to said battery power supply via at least one switch, the electric motor configured to drive a rear wheel of the scooter;
• at least one fuel cell configured to trickle charge the battery supply;
• a first charging circuit configured to connect the fuel cell to the battery power supply so as to charge the battery power supply;
• a fuel tank configured to hold a fuel suitable for running the fuel cell;
• a second charging circuit configured to connect the battery power supply to an external power source;
• and
• a motor controller circuit connected to the motor and configured to charge the battery power supply upon deceleration of the scooter.

A two wheeled electric scooter comprising:

• a scooter frame including a compartment shaped and sized to accommodate a battery power supply having a voltage of at least 100 volts;
• an electric motor connected to said battery power supply via at least one switch, the electric motor configured to drive a rear wheel of the scooter;
• fuel cell configured to trickle charge the battery supply, the fuel cell running on either hydrogen or methanol, the fuel cell outputting a trickle charge of less than 2 amps;
• a first charging circuit configured to connect the fuel cell to the battery power supply so as to charge the battery power supply, the first charging circuit including a boost converter which receives a first voltage by the cell and outputs a second voltage to the battery power supply, the second voltage being greater than the first voltage,
• a fuel tank configured to hold the hydrogen or methanol fuel;
• a second charging circuit configured to connect the battery power to an external power source;
• and
• a motor controller circuit connected to the motor and configured to charge the battery power supply upon deceleration of the scooter.
