I terms of making a hybrid you could have a switch to call on power when you need it? Replace the front brake calliper with a small generator which could be spun up somehow by pressing against the disk. That would give you the choice of re-filling the battery by braking with the front or just using rear brake, or both. The hybrid battery could be carried in a rear box/top box. Just a thought.
Not a bad idea at all

 

In terms of power it takes about 3HP to push a well designed (aerodynamically) bike along at 50-60mph on the flat (It's about 10HP for small car).  A 3HP motor is quite beefy. Smaller motors would definitely work but then only as a low speed assist/town mode, but it might be worth considering if ULEZ becomes any more restrictive, when a retrofit kit might be offered ?
