peugeot_hymotion3_3 Peugeot Builds Scooter Of The Future

Peugeot has its eye on transforming the landscape of inner-city commuting with its new three-wheel drive scooter. The pod-looking trike sports an amazing crash rating thanks to a steel cage that keeps pilot and passenger dry inside. The HYmotion3 Compressor Concept utilizes a gasoline engine for propulsion and regenerative braking to charge electric motor set in each wheel. That’s great and all, but the real kick in the pants is the supercharged 125cc motor out back that puts out 20 horsepower. A full 20 horses out of 125 cc? That’s insane. Mix that with the output from the electric bits and you get closer to 30 horses and 118 mpg. You read that right. 118 mpg. I could handle looking like a Bond assassin for that kind of mileage.
