  • The C-1 is a Auto Balance Electric Vehicle (AEV) or self stabilizing fully enclosed electric motorcycle Developed by the San Francisco based company Lit Motors. This cutting edge vehicle merges the agility of a motorcycle with the protective features of a car aiming to transform urban mobility.
    The AEV boasts a set of gyroscopes for balance ensuring stability that surpasses traditional two wheelers and providing a unique driving experience that still captures the essence of motorcycle riding.

    This only has active safty, if the gyro fails, then what? You know they tried this 100 years ago with a single rail train right? It's not a new idea, so not quite sure how he got a patent for it but anyway. You cant sell a bike/car without "passive safty" (a motorbike ultimatly has a person's foot) in the case of a car, it has four wheels. Even a tricycle doesn't just fall over. Reliying on active balance gives no such passive safety.
    That, over engineering & the extra (unessesary) power needed for the gyro make this DOA for the mass market I think. You can still do narrow track 3 & four-wheel vehicles without active balance, so why don't you see those often?
    The price (32,000) is ludicrous & reflects the complexity & over engineering. Getting through regulation is the other cost/problem.
    Just go with narrow track two front wheels or even four wheels, similar results, easier to engineer, less cost, known tech, passive safety & roughly the same form factor is possible. Also, Gyros are loud in operation probably. That's why you never get a sound track on these clips. Sounds like a lawnmower
