Peugeot’s Hybrid Scooter Concept Gives You a Roof, 118 MPG
French carmaker Peugeot, darling of the Paris Auto Show, has unveiled a fascinating concept hybrid scooter at this year’s show. The Hymotion 3 concept vehicle is a three-wheeled hybrid scooter which bridges the gap between a scooter and automobile by providing the driver with a roof and partially enclosed driver’s cabin. This small, stylish vehicle has a top speed of 70 mph and gets an amazing 118 MPG.
The Hymotion 3 was designed to bridge the gap between a scooter and a car and from the looks of the design, it looks like they did a good job. The roof will come in handy on overly cold, windy or rainy days and should help provide some protection against the elements for the scooter’s driver.

The Hymotion 3 has three wheels - two in the front and one in the back. Its front wheels are each equipped with an electric motor, while the back wheel is powered by a diesel engine. Since the Hymotion 3 is a hybrid, it can be driven in the city in electric mode (powered by Lithium-ion batteries), while its diesel engine allows it to keep up on the open highway.
No word yet on when and if Peugeot will mass-produce this vehicle, or what the pricing will be. But based on the specs and the pics, we’re hoping it will be soon, and at an affordable price.

Damn! This would be my dream scooter; something small enough for local stuff and powerful enough to take me where I want to go. I just hope it’s in any way affordable.
