Over the last few years we have talked about the models of motorcycles and electric bicycles that were going to be manufactured in the near future, about the models that were already being released or even about a prototype that has not gone out of paper. In most cases, the vehicle concept that manufacturers present to us is clear: it is recognized that it is a electric motorbike or one electric bicycle.

However, there are times when we find a two-wheeler that is a mix between a motorcycle and a bicycle. Normally it happens more that a motorcycle with its electric motor has a design similar to that of a bicycle, although we have also seen the opposite. Below we have listed nine of those hybrid models that are not easy to classify and that are currently available for purchase.

The appearance of the Xiamoi Mi HIMO T1 is a mix between city bike, scooter, moped and Personal Mobility Vehicle (as we can call electric scooters).
