how are these bikes? They're little cars. But look at the huge tanks in the back. Hydrogen just isn't feasible because of the huge heavy tanks to hold them and how hard it is to get pure hydrogen, very expensive. Plus they blow up if punctured.

Your "talking points" sound like they come from Electrek.co or "Clean Technica"

hard it is to get pure hydrogen, very expensive.

Ever check what a 486 Mhz (lol) Computer cost in the 90's ? OF COURSE HYDROGEN EQUIPMENT IS EXPENSIVE - no parts have been mass produced. Until now. Watch China. Did you know that China mass produced thousands of FC stacks TODAY?

Plus they blow up if punctured.

Where did you hear that? Skepticism is in order. For both sides of this issue. Because that statement is just false. So you should ask yourself what else you think you "know" is just plain flat out FALSE.
