No, not a cyber relative from Yorkshire, but "the world's first Man-Machine Hybrid Motorcycle" - combined pedal and electric power. Claimed to do up to 50mph (therefore technically eligible for use on German autobahns) and delivering 45lb/ft of torque and 13 bhp, with a range of up to 50 miles and a recharging time of 4 hours.
I was with it up until the last ten seconds when the cost was mentioned - US$40,000
