It’s certainly an odd beast, but Piaggio’s “MP3 Hybrid” scooter / trike / whatsit has itself a ship window and a vague pricetag. Piaggio hopes to start selling the vehicle in the US by Q1 2010, with a price ranging around $8,000 or $9,000. The plug-in hybrid can run off of a standard charge for 40 miles, and has a gas-powered generator (like the Volt) for extra power, with a promised 141 mpg overall. It’s packed in with some regenerative breaking, a high-performance battery-boosted mode to make one pretty hot scooter — if you can get over those looks and the extra wheel.

That extra wheel puts it in the car driver's license category, instead of the motor cycle driver's license category, over here...
