The Huddler folks mentioned ELV Motors in the West Coast Green discussion.  Unfortunately their website offers virtually no information about their products.  However, as it turns out, according to EcoGeek they're now offering a hybrid scooter for $2890.  It has a top speed of 40 mph and fuel efficiency of 180 mpg.  So if it has a 1 gallon gas tank, it can go 180 miles before refueling.

 

So that's pretty cool.  Honda is planning hybrid motorcycles and scooters, so ELV Motors is one step ahead, although I'm guessing the Honda motorcycle will have a higher top speed and have highway capability.  Personally I prefer not having to worry about gas at all, but that ~180 mile range would be really nice.
