Eko Vehicles ET-210 First Hybrid Moto? - Green-Racer.com

As The Boss once said, you can?t start a fire without a spark. The newest creation from Eko Vehicles may not be the sexiest two-wheeled beast to hit the streets, but according to the company, the ET-210 is the world?s first production hybrid motorcycle. Let?s just go ahead and give them the benefit of the doubt on the ?motorcycle? portion of that claim. Here?s the good stuff: Eko Vehicles claims the bike is good for 280 mpg thanks to a 70cc engine and small electric motor.

Supposedly that one-two combo is good for performance similar to a 120cc bike, though Eko Vehicles has limited the top speed to a leisurely 40 mph. If you think that?s good enough to get you to work on time, it gets better ? the ET-210 hits the wallet at just $855. Unfortunately, it?s only for sale in India.

Now we just have to be patient enough for Eko to come out with something we would actually ride. And race.

As a huge fan of small economical vehicles, my opinion is biased, but I like this bike! I even think the styling would catch on here in the states amongst the handlebar-mustache wearing Vespa hipsters.
