Panasonic is introducing a hybrid hp/electric bicycle that uses braking energy to charge a 10Ah Li-ion secondary battery. In testing, Panasonic found the electric motor extended the bicycle’s range by 25 miles (I don’t know how they arrived at that number but I’m assuming it depends upon how much work the cyclist does). For now the Vivi RX 10-S will only be available in Japan.
