The Malaguti Hybrid 2.0 scooter is in final stages of development and should be ready for the market by spring 2010, after being presented at the 2009 EICMA show. It works with a “hub” electric motor and an endothermic engine, that kicks in only when the battery charge gets low.
The Malaguti Hybrid can run in full electric or hybrid mode. The electric mode allows for a daily average distance of about 20 km, while the hybrid mode using the 50cc, four-stroke engine has a range of 150 km. It is also enabled with an on-board battery generator, or recharge can occur with a 220V power outlet. Full details are after the jump and check out the Malaguti site for more information.
