So when you buy one, does it come with the deafening noise? Will you be able to turn? I have yet to see a turn.. Does it come with two guys that will run beside you so you don't fall over?
motorcycle market is smaller then you think. they actually aim at car drivers and will be in the same niche as smart cars. being marked as a motorcycle has nothing to do with target audience in this case. and we all know smart cars come with built-in racing safety cages so they can withstand even the biggest of collisions. i am sure C-1 will come with a similar cage.
besides the fact that you get all car comforts (roof, conditioning, etc) in c-1 meaning people who wouldn't drive a motorcycle would buy it now.. you're also wrong about smart cars - those come with a racing car's safety cage built in. a smart car won't get crushed even in the worst of accidents. doesn't mean you would survive it, but in that case you wouldn't survive it no matter what size of a car you drive.
Your Claim to being the first all electric gyro stabilized vehicle is false. Thrustcycle Enterprises built and test drove an all electric Gyro stable vehicle almost one year prior to your claim.
So you're way lower than a normal motorcycle (hard to be seen, and see past cars), it's probably too wide to easily lane share (the main benefit on riding a motorcycle) and you're trapped within a cage, likely to be crushed and mangled in the case of an accident (much like a smart car), and you're stuck within the framework of the cage you can't do a full lean, cornering at max speed. Amazing technology to keep it balanced like that, but I'm failing to see any benefits over a motorcycle here...
I feel like this is a great leap In "motorcycle" tech. But it has one major flaw, the sellers (being lit motors) market Is going to be severely cut back as motorcycle enthusiasts won't drive something that looks like that, and most other people will still have the common fears of everyday motorcycle riding: no matter how well u drive, it's the other drivers in thier 2 1/2 ton suvs. That make motorcycles dangerous. For the record i owned a 1990 suzuki katana 600 so I'm not against bikes
Balancing single-track vehicle with gyros has more than 100 years of failure history. Nothing unique at this point. Journalists should do some research before spreading B.S. Safety in [side] collision without slamming self down is not that obvious, particularly for experienced bikers.
And no questions about battery life? This is why they say journalism is dead!
The original price was supposed to be 16k. A 50% increase 2yrs before launch means it could be even higher, if it makes it to market.

Lit motor's C1 is self balancing and more affordable for the mass. Thumps up Lit Motor. Thank you Kim
and TOTALLY quiet too!!

They should put the tilt mechanism on cars too so they won't flip over either.

Looks better than the Sinclair C1 or the BMW C1 :/
yeah but they use the giros for navigation not for stability

when can I get one?
Great for them, even greater that mankind find more uses of a technology.
I like it! I want one! Will have heat and air though? If they can get the price right, thiese could be huge!!!
Please sell this technology to Monotracer.
