Cracking idea. I can't wait to ride one

Easily changeable battery not mentioned. Even forklits and pallet trucks have changable batteries.

This is something Honda does,, because it can.   Just makes a nice 125cc scooter more complicated....more stuff to go wrong.   Wonder what a replacement battery costs?

I`m fine with gas engines. If I want to ride all day, I can.

You'll all be eating your words in ten years when these have 100K on them and are still on thier first batteries

Yeah, the Prius has been getting rave ratings so apparently battery longevity and reliability keeps getting better. Other than electrons, there are no moving parts in a battery to wear out or need maintenance.

Taxis over here are almost always Priuses, always 12/13 years old and always with 300K miles on them, so they must be doing something right!

The big advantage of a hybrid scooter is the use of an electric motor to power the wheel, which will eliminate the current weak link in our scooters: the CVT and its relatively short-life drive belt.
