Wouldn't buy it if I was given a 75% discount. A top speed of 80mph is too slow for united states interstates ( at least in rural KY )
FWIW, you can get a ninja 250 which gets ~55 mpg with a top speed of 100. And vespa scooters will (supossedly) get 150 mpg but might go 40.
You say 'big deal booradley, the hybrid motorcycle will roxor boths boxors! '... you forget one thing.
Motorcycles are already ridiculously expensive for what they are, so I'm guessing this hybrid one will go for nearly $10k.. ( electric motors, computers, low production volume ... ) so it would hardly be worth buying for anyone but a gadget freak. If it would be priced at $5k, then you have my complete attention.
Post edited to reflect true mileage of Ninja 250. Ignore any propaganda spewed off from ninja 250 fanboy sites.
