MIO: A Fuel Cell-Powered Wheelchair by Suzuki



Well, this is not something you run into everyday—a fuel-powered wheelchair! And by Suzuki, no less! It's called the MIO . Apparently Suzuki is a big manufacturer of wheelchairs, which is a complete "News Flash" to me, as I had no idea that they were into that market...
At the moment the MIO remains a prototype while Suzuki sees if there is a market for such a vehicle.

I'm surprised, I thought fuel cells were sort of big and best applied to large vehicles.
 
That's cool looking. Kudos.

Cool. I guess a light vehicle helps in that regard.
