It's a neat idea, but you know what the most practical "hybrid" on two wheels already is? A hybrid between human pedal power and an electric motor: the E-bike. Honestly if they weren't so expensive they'd completely wreck the 50cc scooter market. Very similar use cases, lighter, about the same speeds, more nimble, easier to park, and better exercise. In a place with decent bicycle infrastructure they're absolutely ideal.
