The American manufacturer eCycle is getting ready to start testing their economical hybrid motorcycle. The fuel injected 219 cc engine runs on petrodiesel, biodiesel and kerosene fuel.
eCycle claim a 180 miles to the gallon average (76 kilometers per liter), with a top speed of 80 miles per hour and 0 - 60 mph in 6 seconds. For starting and cruising, the motorcycle uses an electrical engine.
The reasonably high acceleration is due to the electrical engine. Once you've reached your cruising speed, the eCycle switches over to fuel injection.
This might not win the MotoGP, but it's a good start from those that use a motorcycle in town.
