Toyota done a great job at ingraining consumers what Hybrid is - half gasoline motor and half electric motor. With Lexus' newest hybrid concept, it redefines what a hybrid can be. The new concept, Lexus Hybrid Bicycle, has a 240-Watt electric motor powered by a 25.9-volt lithium battery pack, along with pedals for a human power drivetrain.

Lexus displayed two hybrid electric bicycles at last year's Tokyo Motor Show, and the Japanese automaker is now touting the bike as part of its sponsorship of the Great British Bike Ride.

According to Lexus, the frame is constructed of carbon fiber (the same composite that makes up Valentino Rossi's MotoGP bike, gushes Lexus) and uses an eight-speed internal gear system sourced from Shimano, in reference to the LS 600h's eight-speed automatic. There are no plans to put the bike into production (but anything can change!).
