I have seen a couple of post about new hybrid scooters. These are interesting, but like the automobile, these seem to be electric assist gas scooters.
How would you go about making a gas assisted electric scooter. I have some thoughts, but would like to see some other feed back.
Reason: yes more complicated, but might help with the range problem.

You might want to look at this one, it seeme to be able to run on either gas or electric and it starts off on the electric motor then the gas kicks in to help the electric for more power or speed.

Get a small motor bike instead of a scooter and put a high powered RC model type motor on the swingarm and batteries in the saddle bags.
Replace chain with belt drive.
Run ICE when battery is empty or when hard acceleration is needed.
Charge from mains or alternator.
Used Virago 250cc are cheap, have a low seat and are ubiquitous - you could develop plans and kits and sell thousands!
