When we think of the term "hybrid," at least in its vehicular sense, we tend to conjure up images of cars like the Toyota Prius and Honda Insight. These machines are so named due to their dual power trains, mostly consisting of an internal combustion engine coupled to an electric motor.
Lexus' newest hybrid concept proudly carries its moniker despite the complete lack of an engine. It does, however, have a 240-Watt electric motor powered by a 25.9-volt lithium battery pack coupled with leg power! Lexus actually displayed a duo of hybrid electric bicycles at last year's Tokyo Motor Show, and the Japanese automaker is now touting the bike as part of its sponsorship of the Great British Bike Ride.
According to Lexus, the frame is constructed of carbon fiber and uses an eight-speed internal gear system sourced from Shimano, in reference to the LS 600h's eight-speed automatic.
Sad to say, there are no plans to put the bike into production yet.
