- Compact yet spacious, safely enclosed, and efficient in every aspect-spend less time and money stuck in traffic, and more time doing things you actually want to do. The Lit Motors AEV is designed to streamline the drive, whether you're commuting to work or going on a weekend joyride.
Our vehicle is an exciting exploration in vehicle architecture, leading a new era of sustainable transportation.
Consider this:
🚘 Transportation accounts for 29% of carbon emissions in the US
👤 75% of people in the US drive alone (50% globally)
⚡️ The typical EV battery produces 18 TONS of CO2 over its lifecycle
The solution? Cut the car in half, make it 6-8x more efficient, cut emissions by simplifying manufacturing and reducing battery size (and make it really, really cool! 😎)
Our AEV is projected to produce only 1.8 tons of CO2 over its lifecycle, which is a whopping 90% reduction in emissions. Be kinder to the planet (13.2 miles / kWh) AND your wallet (only $2.50 per 170 mile charge in California - price may vary per state) 💸💸💸
Invest in Lit Motors and our mission for sustainability: we've launched an equity crowdfunding campaign with the goal of moving into production development. Head to our Wefunder campaign to learn more! ⤵️

I am amazed how this guy continues to work on the project after so many years. I remember when I watches the very first video of the project years ago and thought this was a very good idea, since 80% of people are driving alone. His enthusiasm is really contagious…
So after so many years it still haven’t hit the road?
How many prototypes .?
He looked young in the first few videos.
It is a good idea until you realize it costs $32,000 USD :p.
@@nestharus yeah. That’s a little expensive
I'm a 20-plus-year motorcycle rider. This totally changes the game when it comes to 2 wheel transport. Takes away all the negatives of riding a traditional motorcycle but keeps all the pluses. I hope to see it in the USA as well. What an amazing product.
This vehicle has been in development for like 9 years. Been waiting for one. Feeling that this is going to be vaporware.
I felt the same
How hard can it be to
@@paulurban2 Likely the biggest difficulty isn't in making one but in raising the capital to develop mass production of them and bring them to market, get regulatory approval, etc.
Geee.. you think.
@RalfSRobotRalf this to getting past the regulations is a smart first step in getting that funding tp build a manufacturing factory.
This is my dream vehicle ❤️
Concept came from the past, 1920 two wheel train. Genius idea!
thanks! How we are different from the 1920s is we use electronic controls for the stability and drive by wire steering. huge leap in stability and reliability, you'll see.
@@danoflit I agree. This Idea should be revived long time ago. Fully balanced two wheels could potentially revolutionize transportation.
Y'all still here? Damn we're tenacious - keep at it I love this!
Tenacious D?😁
I Glad they are still working on it. It been 9 years.
Thank you for your support and kind words.
Been probably around 15 years.
@@MahanFan1 but when i heard of them is 9 years ago
Hey buddy I wish you and LIT motor's the best. You have been working on this for a long time and gone through personal struggles with your accident. The world is losing their excitement over EV's as a permanent replacement for IC cars but a low cost and safe EV vehicle for going around town and short distances maybe exactly what the world is needing right now.
Thanks!
this is very interesting. I really hope this project takes off and enters mass production .
Me too Thanks!
I remember reading a motorcycle book back in mid 90s with a picture of this futuristic motorcycle it look like a dream back than.
real Akira bike!?
All i want is plentiful, reliable public rail/transportation. That's the answer
We agree on the public/Mass trans! but people need flexibility for personal mobility too.
Wow, I'm happy to see you guys are still in business. Haven't seen anything from you for quite a while. I wish you all the best luck. It's going to be a great product.
A lot of behind the scenes work with our Stability algorithm. Hard problem we finally solved.
God, I'd buy this in a heartbeat. A significant upgrade over the Carver three wheeler I had in Germany.
The Carver could also become a better product but the technology and market for this doesn't exist.
A Carver and an EcoMobile if they had a baby it would be this GyroX nerdy
I am glad that this project continue after being dead over so many years for lack of funds.
The best luck for all investors, I think this has really potential depending the level of production that it can achieve.
Perfect for SF. We need cars built of the city
I agree! Lets launch in SF!
Keep up guys, we believe in you! 💯🔥
It has been silent for some time, good to hear from Lit again.
I can't wait to see it on the road in Europe.
join our mailing list on the website. we have been updating since April 2022
@@danoflit good idea, I had been on the mailing list since 2013, but that one stopped.
Modern version of the gyro monorail train. Very cool, can’t wait to try it
You never going to afford this
good luck! I am hardly waiting to see them on the streets and get a chance to buy one
Find the synergy between the mechanical energy accumulator and gyroscopes an excellent idea, thumbs up!
Was just dreaming about this. Yesterday. I took my automobile to get aligned last month and because I'm the only one that drives it, it leans to the side. It would be nice to have a vehicle that is for a single driver but is more protective than a motorcycle
Definitely sounds like you could use one of our vehicles!
Hasn't this been the future for over a decade now? Lol
EV market just caught up with us.
This vehicle is quite cool, glad to see people exploring the possibility of gyroscopic stabilization even though I doubt it'll be practical for widespread use, but will the tech bros ever figure out that these problems could also be solved by making our society less car-dependent?
Very special. I hope it comes to fruition, this is a great design, and long overdue.
Keep up your enthusiasm and be successful
Woot Lets gooo!
This is great. I hope i can get one in the future.
this is SICK!!! i hope it becoming a huge thing and i hope if affordable!! this will 100% change big city traffic!
Nah, it's LIT!!! 🔥 Hope it achieves liftoff. I'd roll around in one of these time capsules.
#NextlevelEV?
Would love one of these!
Look awesome! 😉
i saw this same twchnology in another video about trains in the 1920s working on one lane with the help of a gyroscopes
That prototype didn't scale well but there are other methods that can achieve the same for bigger vehicles.
@ 0:33 and @ 0:40 That is Cara Louise Santa Maria! She is an amazing American science communicator. She hosts the podcast Talk Nerdy and co-hosts The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe (My favorite!).
I noticed that too. She also used to date Bill Maher. Love SGU
used to watch this on discovery science channel back in 2013 or 2014. Wow been a long time now.
We loved renting Yerba Buena Icerink. We will be back or in Norway or Michigan in the winter.
Good vehicle.
This is an even more stripped down Aptera :) Good idea, hope you make it
Thank you. We hope you bring next level common sense to EVs.
FSD combined with C-V2X eliminating accidents and injuries is going to be even more important than all the other safety technologies.
C-V2X connected cars technology is a quasi super power sensor, able to see through anything and around corners and that should be combined with FSD to end all accidents and injuries involving pedestrians, bikes, animals... It could be retrofited using cell phones or tags, or devices like the Comma ai open pilot device when adopted. The DOT needs to fast track it ASAP.
We own those autonomous patents on our AEV platform!
I would love this for a commuter
Waiting with hope!
The thumbnail of Cara Santa Maria definitely caught my attention
I want one!
This i would buy immidiately when on Stock !
Very positive video, i like it!
Glad you liked it!
India & Indians dearly await enclosed 2 wheeler
Yes this thing has mind-blowing potential in Indian 2 wheeler market if prices are right. But I think it will cost like a Car so a 4 wheeler will be a better choice.
I bet the price will be ridiculous for an average American and you talking about Indians? LOOOOOOOOOOL
Akira bike!
Amazing, now get it to look like the motorcycle in the anime wonderful days.
...Ended with a GANG-SIGN?! 😉❤
It's the Lit Motors sign!
This could really work. I'd buy one if it could be sold for same money as a Goldwing.
Nice. How much power does the gyros use up?
I watch this motorcycle on the Discovery Chanel many, many years ago, and I have not seen any advance in mass production of this motorcycle
That is an updated Quasar, I recognise the frame layout as I used to own one. Mind you it looks a lot neater in this guise.
lovin' this new ride!
For a two wheeled vehicle, a speed of 120 miles per hour is already too fast. For safety reasons, hub motors can be used with a speed of 95 miles per hour and 35 horsepower is sufficient. And the body can be extended by 30 centimeters, making rear passenger more comfortable; Lengthening the vehicle body and using hub motors can free up more space for installing larger batteries, as gyroscopes consume a lot of electricity every moment. (It may be a good choice to simply cancel the internal combustion engine.) The hub motor can also be easily designed to switch between FWD, RWD, and AWD modes, or the computer can automatically allocate front wheel torque to adapt to off-road roads or rainy and snowy weather.
You never see it stop at a light or stop sign and take a sharp right turn. I wish they would demo that. All you see is it taking wide turns. I like the idea and had originally hoped Apple would have bought them to get into the transportation business with a “think different” vehicle.
Two words: Tron, Akira. Designers, please, make it happen.
Wow. Really innovative!
Thank you
Is it effective when it's draining the battery just by standing still because of the gyroscope?
Na, DAS ist Fortschritt ... ich freue mich auf die Zukunft; oder watt?!
EV makers flash tech nerd gang signs!
This looks like a blast to drive and way more efficient than 4 wheel transport. I hope the keep the steering wheel in the production model. I was really disappointed when Arcimoto decided to go with motorcycle steering (you have to have a motorcycle endorsement to drove one 👎).
Looking foward to full roll-out!
that actually looks so fun to drive wow
SO COOL!
Watch the first vid on this at ages ago. So i think it’ll hit the market in 2074
13 years ago, they said it's going to release soon and now it's 2024!
Very cool idea
I always wondered, cant you put 2 one-wheel units together to create a 2 wheel vehicle that balances itself?
The current one-wheel vehicle already balances itself. e.g products by Inmotion etc.
Legend has it that in 2035 - he'll still be posting videos about this cart coming out soon . . . .
How does it perform in the wet?
Alright! Some video updates. Assuming it can do what you hope it can do, it will be the only bike I'd ever buy again.
Let's gooo!
I'd love to see a video of what challenges you are having technically. In other words, why isn't on the market now. What are the current hurdles. Nothing that would jeopardize your intellectual property rights or patents. Of course we know bringing anything automotive to market is a huge and expensive task.
There once was a gas powered vehicle similar to this. Instead of gyroscopes, it had two smaller wheels that would automatically deploy as the vehicle came to a stop. I think it was made in Germany. It sold for $100,000 dollars. 1:18
But it is not even close to this concept. The one with 2 wheels deployed would fell down if hit by other car, this one wouldn't because gyros would keep it stable even if got hit. It is shown in this video.

Do two stable thallium spirometers require a significant amount of electrical energy consumption?
Gyro power consumption varies depending on the size of the motor and the type of application. It's estimated to be between 90-800w
@@litmotorsofficial Well, for a small motorcycle, the gyroscope consumes a considerable amount of electrical energy.Because gyroscopes consume electrical energy every moment. Even when the vehicle comes to a stop, its RPM is still very high, which may affect the vehicle's range.
@@litmotorsofficial A power of 90-800 watts is actually not small, and a household air conditioner used in a single room is only about 1000 watts. This is equivalent to the vehicle being driven with air conditioning on from start to finish, and the thallium gauge will also occupy the battery space and shorten the vehicle's range.
OMG I want that so much
对于一辆两轮的车辆来说，120英里的时速已经过快了。出于安全性考虑，可以使用轮毂电机，时速95英里，35马力就足够了。并且车身可以加长30厘米，使后排乘客更舒适；车身加长并使用轮毂电机，可以腾出更多的车身空间安装更多更大的电池，毕竟陀螺仪每时每刻都需要消耗大量的电能。轮毂电机还可以轻松设计成FWD\RWD\AWD切换模式或电脑自动分配前轮扭距，以适应越野路面或雨雪天气。
When we park the vehicle does gyros stop? if so how does it keep itself upright?
We can see retractable arms on the sides at 00:28
Great 💕💕🇵🇰🇵🇰🌹🌹🌹
Thanks
Incredible technologies! Sir, what is its top speed and charging time? When it will be produced and how much will it cost?
I wish everyday for you to succeed and start producing these amzing veichles
Akira!
My question is how much energy does the gyros consume to rotate that fast continuously 🤔
What a great idea! Can we install side box if we can't make enough space for baggage?
I have been waiting for them to bring this to market for years . Sadlly it doesn't look they progressed any further in the last 10 years.
It's been a long journey for sure... we posted a timeline for transparency:

it''s going to be another 50 years before they manage to do something better than lithium batteries.
I saw this about may be more than 10 years ago .. Always wondered what happened to this project.

How is Lit Motors still alive?
Take my money already

I have two Suzuki motorcycles that are over 40 years old. I live in the UK so both bikes are registered as historical vehicles which means no annual road tax nor m.o.t's. I only have to pay for classic insurance which is around £60 a year. My point is that these bikes were manufactured over 40 years ago and still going strong. Would you be able to say that about an e.v after it attains a 40 plus year old status! I think I will keep my motorcycles thanks.
nice concept. I wonder what would happen if the motorcycle lose traction and slide?
This vehicle has been around for ages. It’s already failed once so what’s different now?
This is interesting
This comcept had been there for more than 20 years since I was a kid. Saddly, never saw a actual vehicle driving around.What can I say?
#excellent #Amazon #Bezos give em a BILLION to get mainstream! c'mon!
Wish there's an option to steer by bike handles. This removes the weather, temperature (in case it has climate control) and safety downsides for those long dreaming of riding a motorbike
@Lit Motors I don't want to be nit-picky, but your gyros don't "absorb" the impact. They "compensate" for the impact. Other than that, this is a cool project. I just hope you don't get crazy with the price. This shouldn't cost more than a normal 4-wheel car with similar or better performance, like some of the other single and two seaters currently on the market.
Does it come in red? With Japanese motifs? 😉
I seen the person turn right and go right.. but the front wheel turned right.. this is not how motorcycles turn. Will the system counter steer? I am guessing so, but based on the video I simply had to ask!
well great idea that you will never bring to mass market. every year we see these great solutions to transportation and you may be able to by one in SouCal but not everyone lives there
I wanna buy this
Yeah, yeah, yeah.... Been waiting since 2011....
its a cool concept but ultimately it occupies an awkward niche between the safety and practicality of a car and the frugality and sporty experience of a motorcycle.
Perfect vehicle for the Phillipines, India, and places that currently utilize scooters and motorcycles in 85% of daily commute. That's a massive market (India= 1,000,000,000 people)
@@89CrazyAl And tuk-tuks, tricycles, ...
come on..built it already..sell it..i need this..we need this.
Can u make it in diesel and hydrogen version?
Cool
Didn't a 1920's steam engine do this? It was a vertical disk that counter rotated on the lean while on a single rail.
How about motorcycle handlebars instead of steering wheel?
J'aime il faudrait mettre ce système sur une giroroue
