http://www.gizmag.com Piaggio's MP3 was the world's first hybrid three-wheeler and at EICMA this week, it showed what is likely to be the first two-wheeled hybrid – the Piaggio USB (urban sport bike). The combination of a highly efficient, low-emmission GDI (gasoline direct injection) two-stroke motor and an electric motor, the USB is much smaller than it looks in the images and weighs in at just 130 kg. The USB runs 50km (30 miles) on electric only, and returns 1.5 l/100 km (156 U.S. mpg and 188 imperial mpg). en gizmag.com http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-83146 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-83146 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 09:38:51 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-37336 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-37336 Mon, 08 Nov 2010 12:13:17 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-12877 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-12877 Thu, 07 Jan 2010 20:37:32 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10450 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10450 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:31:09 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10414 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10414 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:03:25 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10390 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10390 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 06:00:28 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10354 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10354 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:54:27 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10351 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10351 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:02:30 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10330 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10330 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 16:55:53 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10303 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10303 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 07:08:36 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10300 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10300 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 04:32:00 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10276 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10276 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 19:09:49 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10270 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10270 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:34:12 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10261 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10261 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 08:53:39 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10255 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10255 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 08:03:25 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10243 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10243 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 10:21:37 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10240 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10240 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 01:34:29 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10234 http://www.gizmag.com/piaggio-shows-high-performance-hybrid-two-wheeler/13354/#comment-10234 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 23:36:52 -0600
