The Hybrid Bicycle adopts similar principles, with the pedal power of the rider boosted by assistance to the front wheel from a 240W electric motor, via a 25.9V Lithium-ion battery, with a choice of Eco or Power modes. And, as with Lexus Hybrid Drive, there is an energy regeneration function that helps recharge the battery by capturing kinetic energy generated under braking.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJZalT43IAVrXl-OtJYXi5W_E94cOuuC0evZzw_CLd2kSVKbPjTW6gNmVDjwNf1JTNBW2dVes1lq6mtqodwBpsMc2H3UA8ZDbLR1oE69BCrXYRgiEex4GSu3awpNNkOEZJleQI2btjy6IK/s1600/36173360458-f-lex.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465698127010987218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJZalT43IAVrXl-OtJYXi5W_E94cOuuC0evZzw_CLd2kSVKbPjTW6gNmVDjwNf1JTNBW2dVes1lq6mtqodwBpsMc2H3UA8ZDbLR1oE69BCrXYRgiEex4GSu3awpNNkOEZJleQI2btjy6IK/s400/36173360458-f-lex.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 534px; height: 353px;" /></a><br /><br />The Lexus Hybrid Bicycle has all-wheel drive, by means of a belt system.
