I can't wait to see some fuel economy numbers! Really like the aesthetic updates as well.

I saw one with self stability. The person was standing straight up on it, it self-adjusted to stay level and it also followed him around as he walked.

Technology IMHO is getting out of control but I guess this is progress; maybe I am just too old-school which is kind of ironic since I am in IT.

Neat idea. The U.S. MSRP might be a bit prohibitive if it comes stateside. Love to try out the electric.

As a former hybrid owner I am concerned about how this will add weight needing a battery to become a hybrid.

Also quite frankly I like the idea of it being as is; a fuel support vehicle.

Ivy, I think the battery weight would be minimal for such a light vehicle. My replacement li-ion battery weighs almost nothing, but it's not a massive series of cells. Plus the electric version has two modest sized pull out and take with you cells.

That would be like carrying a jerry can. Plus you now have 3 batteries to recharge.
I'm already running out of USB ports.

You can always get more USB ports. However, your battery might not like them.

Interesting concept, taking yourbatteries inside at night. What thief would want a hybrid bike with no batteries? :-)

I regret that I lack the math skills to calculate the time required to charge the Hybrid's cells @ 2 amps
