Lexus Hybrid Bike: what the…?

Yes it is made by Lexus and yes, it is a hybrid bike! This is the Lexus Hybrid Bicycle, a design concept or a tribute to the fundamental engineering and design values of the brand.

This bike was unveiled due tot he fact that Lexus is the officual sponsor of the Great British Bike Ride, a four-day charity fun ride that will see hundreds of cyclists following a course from Land’s End to the home of English rugby at Twickenham. The hybrid bike uses the same principle from the cars: the pedal power is voosted 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.

This special Toyota "Lexus" garbage has reached new lows! But the bright side is it will be very difficult to have "unintended accleration" with this Toyota! Oh, it is very ugly as well.

Where is the quality in articles? After just breezing through the article, I count 4 spelling mistakes. That's pretty sad for such a short article. I text message better than this article is written.
