I'm not sure about Honda specifically, but in most cases hydrogen cars are actually electric vehicles with hydrogen fuel cells (e.g. Toyota's Mirai[1]), they don’t have hydrogen combustion engines (although there are exceptions, Mazda made some prototypes about 10 years ago).

In some countries [2] pedals must be present in order to classify the vehicle as a moped. It's a regulatory requirement and I don't expect most moped riders to use pedals on a daily basis.
