I found an link to an interesting story on Fox News today. Thanks to MGA531 on Urbanscootin.com for posting the link.
According to the story, Piaggio is releasing a gas/electric plug-in hybrid version of their MP3 scooter here in the U.S., in early 2010. The sticker price will be between $8,000 - $9,000.
O.k. So far I am interested, but here's the downside. The gas engine will be a 125cc. Add in the electric assist, and it's maybe equivalent to a 150 or 200 (my best guess). They claim 0-60 time of 5 seconds. I'll believe that when I see it.
It might be worth popping up to the Vespa dealer in Lebanon to see what they have to say about it, but I doubt they will have anything to add that isn't already on the web.
