Coolhunts: Lexus Hybrid Bike
May 10th, 2010
How dope is this Lexus Hybrid Concept Bike?
The Hybrid Bicycle is a “design concept the captures the fundamental engineering and design values of the brand, but with two wheels rather than four.”
Power comes from the pedal of the rider increased by help of the front wheel with a 240W electric motor, kept running by a 25.9V lithium-ion battery.
The Lexus Hybrid Bicycle Concept has a choice of Eco or Power modes and, as with Lexus Hybrid Drive, there is an energy regeneration function that helps recharge the battery by capturing kinetic energy generated under braking.
Lexus says it has no plans to release this bike as a production model.
I think they should!
