I really like the single throttle idea, that way you still use the foot throttle if the gasoline engine is turned off, if you have it look at engine load as well (vacuum) then it seems like it could be made to work together in a nice flawless manner.
With the Suzuki I worry about space and weight too because you would only be adding weight, of course with the electric motor you could get away with a 1 liter gasoline engine, where those vehicles came stock with a 1.3L or some even larger engine in them, but an engine like a Metro XFI engine in there might do ok with the electric to help it get up to speed.
