Piaggio HyS - New Leaning Hybrid Scooter
Aug 8th, 2007 by admin
The boffins at Piaggio have been very hard at work creating the Piaggio HyS - a new leaning, plug-in , three-wheeled, hybrid system. The system will be available in a number of Piaggio’s scooters, including the “Vespa LX, the Piaggio X8, and the supremely awesome MP3“.
While that’s sinking in, check out the basics:
- About 170 MPG
- Programmable torque, tailored to the rider’s preferences
- Charge time: approximately 3 hours
- 220 V charger
- About 12.4 miles in electric-only mode
- Regenerative braking
If that hasn’t sufficiently wet your appetite, check out Piaggio’s press release, EcoGeek’s article, and the Digg article.
