I've seen so many projects like this come and go. At this point I'll believe it when they go into regular production.
If this thing can do a U turn I'm sold!!
The gyroscope ensures that the vehicle remains upright. A two-wheeled vehicle must be able to make an angle of incline. The faster the more inclined more lean angle
Great point. Maybe it alters depending on velocity?
Is the vehicle in the background a Tesla Modes S?
I wonder what % of battery is put into the gyros
It has a motorized kick-stand that kicks-in to hold the bike up when not moving.
How wide and long it is?
Is the gyro made out of magnets... to re-use the energy created for the diving ?
but how much energy do those gyros use up. or can it be transferred to the drive train.
when he came to Colombia???
Pre-order it? Yeah, right....it's still in the prototype phase, it's got no mudguards, no rear window, the gyro sounds like it needs alot more of isolation and and and....I wish them luck, I love this thing, I'd even drive it but I don't see it on the market.
I'm looking forward to being able to buy one of these things one day.
Tomara que esse projeto chegue no meu pais e seja bem assecivel👏👏👏
It is cool, and i hope it gets on the market sooooonnn plz
Get this on Jay Lenos Garage !!! he will love it!
It's a rolling smartphone. Andrew what kind of processor does it use. It doesn't have one.
Yo... That is the future of diving period.. that's not just a motorcycle car... That's a balanced motorcycle... That's crazy.. once that become fully upgraded... That's going to be the greatest thing moving in the future. Facts.
they should build a balancer for reliant roblin
loved ur new generastion motorcycle boys great really good luck :-)
When will you market it in Europe and what's the normal price? Thanks for the quick response!
Wow that is so futuristic. Awesome. Best of luck!
That guy is so freaking smart! Wow!
they should work on making the gyro silent
+sajal saraswat Seeing as how this is an alpha prototype then common sense tells us that the finished product will be quiet.
They make it sound really smart an all but how it's suppose to turn with those gyros? Will it tilt while turning or not? If not why they fitted bike tyres?
can u plz tell me in detail of making of this prototype and the mechanism involved in self balancing of vehicle ?
Outfit a model of this with coming-soon auto-pilot/driver-less tech and it will revolutionize commuting. Firstly, even with only manual steering, it will grab people who don't want a big car. To save on costs, apartments, homes, and condos will offer half-size spaces and garages at a lower price to accommodate these. With driver-less technology, families will be sending young kids off to school and to visit relatives in these. Even GREAT grandma will be able to go anywhere anytime she pleases.
Hey!! I m interested in doing a similar project for my final year project. We are planning to stabilize the two wheeler even with the rider on it at zero velocity(at rest). Can you give me suggestions for where to start and points to be remembered while doing this project? Thank You
Hey, how did your project end up? could you make a self balancing bike?
I am also curious
What happens to the gyro in case of an accident?
What happen when you have to leave it and turn the motor off? does the gyros continue to run? and if so doesn't that mean more money spent on electricity to keep the gyros running?
Your project is amazing, but, why did not you try one standard motorcycle, with the self-balancing technology!!! It would be very cool
what is the name of the special device which balanced.
you pass the future technology. awesome people you all....
FANTASTIC! Now One thing would be excellent, easy financing. Then you might sell a lot of these fantastic machines to a lot of interested buyers. Keep up the great work, don't lose sight and make it possible for many more of us to join in, How about a "lay-a-way" for a second generation "car" that will be one that costs much less? 12K?
Lit is amazing , wonderful , the best.
When and where will this be available in the USA? Price?
On snow? On ice ? Under 50 c degrees it 's not too hot inside? No battery is it still working or we will fall down? Love the project though
+Kalvin One The battery can't die suddenly - it will always have enough power at least for control and gyroscopes. However, should the power fail somehow while riding it may use its motors as generators to control itself while slowing down. Hard drives use the same principle to put data readers into parking position when cutting power - power is taken from motor that is spun by disks with data that have large inertia.
Ive quite alot of experience with rc motorbikes with gyros and ice is no problem, its like magic!
Its a prototype, search for the review by the LA Times to see the quiet finished version
How wide and long it is?
"That's the gyro's, We have made no attempt to make it quiet" he said.
Please keep tall people in mind. Crawling into one is not good. Love this concept!!!!
probably longest developed car/motorcycle :D this car will never reach mass-production stage.
If it gets made in a bright neon color then it'll be alot easier to see in the dark, even if there are no lights.
CEO, notes to self. 1) Memorize specs of the machine the engineers built. 2) Try to look confident when reporters ask about tipping 3) Book appointment with physiotherapist
We had it without adds for over 5 years...
useful for the people that drive to work alone.
any storage space
What happened to this project? We never heard from them since...
stay in there bro, you look very cool and pretty!
This bike from Lit motors will never come to the market.
How many months after coming to the odisha this bike
For all those that worried about the gyros taking up all the power, I doubt they will have it continue to run, while the bike is moving, since the wheels will provide the gyroscopic action, just like a normal bike. Also, when it's stopped for longer periods of time, they will release the automatic kick stand.
Can we use fuel also in this vehicle.. like gas, petrol,or Disel etc..
They have been talking and talking for years but I have not seen where and when we can buy one
Looking good, truly wish you all the best........
Very Cool Hope you do well with this I think you will
when will it mature and commercial ly available
This thing is such a pipe dream. Never seen anything except the prototype in years. Most likely will never reach production at this point.
This and Elio. They're fairly good scams though. Incorporate your business, make unrealistic claims about your fantasy car, build a neat looking prototype, get investors to give you money, pay yourself a nice hefty salary, funnel as much money as you can into other companies you own, keep saying the vehicle will be in production "within 2 years" and keep telling investors "we just need a bit more money". When the money runs dry declare business bankruptcy and walk away with a tidy sum of money for yourself.
Good future ~ Fantastic!
Ya está a la venta, como hago para comprarla envíen la información Saludos desde Perú
Nice innovation....would they come to India?
This engineer Reminders me of the same junior engineer who demonstrated an electric helicopter a few years ago, i wonder if its the same guy.
Is technology should be more famous
One thing troubles me about the design... suspension? It looks like if you went over deep bumps the fairing would get smahed against the wheels.
its a prototype. I have a bunch of ideas for the C1 especially safety features. I been following the C1 for awhile, I had built a similar Emotor bike back in 2005 I have a 1/10 scale model of it. I'll post up some pictures soon, its similar but way sleeker, more of a sport bike look.
I would sure like to see a sportier version of it
+jeffv2074 We want to see...
Where's your bike bro
What happened this bike not available when coming this bike
When will this car arrive in india
Will love it, if it will feel like a fantastic motorcycle in the curves.
Now if they could make a tandem version.
interviewee i feel you bro hand on
This is pretty cool but need more innovation especially on the head and tail lights also as you can see the rear wheel has an opening to the inside of the c1 and if it is raining while driving the water will get inside also i think we need ac. On this one
When will it comes to India
Also all you have to do to make it tip is turn too sharp (any normal turn will do) or slightly push it constantly and down she will go.
I would prefer a cross between a motorcycle and a car seat- something you straddle. Also, this is a proof of concept prototype, years away from full scale production. I'm sure they can get the final version to be quieter than a kittens purr. I am a little worried that they are only asking $24,000 for first round production- I would expect the first round to be over 30. I guess they are trying to prove they can make it inexpensive as well.
then explain farings and windscreens.
Can you please lunch this car in india with effective price so that we can afford it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ love you from #india
For a low volume new design, not surprising. Mass production will fix that.
Great idea but these guys REALLY REALLY need a good PR crew.
I'm thinking to the left and to the right. :P
still have yet to see anyone drive this
Where are the side rear view mirrors-somebody answer me that. How did they technically do away with them.
I wish a big company buy this and build one big factory for serial made and for all buy cheap!!
If or more than likely when this goes into production only then will we all know if it becomes a success I for one hope it will.
Where i can buy this bike
They're obviously still working on it - the interior is unfinished and all the mechanics are still visible. Once everything is put together, I imagine it will be no different than other vehicles on the road.
How fast that Gyro is spining?
+alex Lo iirc around 7000rpm.
I must say.... i would love to have one (not at $24K)....kickass graphics..... Sure, would be pretty cool....
Its truly am intriguing design, The first gyroscopically stabilized one I've seen, They may be on to something here, just need to concentrate on simplicity some more......build the Model T, not the Cadillac...then add the goodies & the Monster version........I would like to see it in mass production.
If youtube stop using commercials, youtube don't exists...
Hope the best for this project. Before to prepare it for the mases aim it to the exclusivity club, pioneering, sports, celebrities, until you can sell the overwelming features of the device.
the Japanese have a much simpler version of this, where the front forks extend to keep balance. much nicer and dead silent.
Can you share the link?
it's can concatenate by Rail way , like Nadiro
I want to buy this bike in India so please let me know
What happened to this vehicle ?
What a racket! I'm not talking only about the bike. Why an ARM9 in a bike??
Very Interesting vaporware.
PLEASE. JAROOR. BATAAYE. KI. YE. BIKE. C - 1. INDIA. ME. KAHAAN. MILEGAA. AUR. ESKEE. PRICE. KYAA. HAE. PLEASE. PLEASE.
KZhead please we dont want adds, let us see the video's without all that adds disterbing us....Thank you
Brilliant!!!X10
min 1:11 test de rasturnare .. Primele 1000 bucati ar costa 24.000 $ bucata , iar daca sar face in Kina ar costa 5 000 $ !?
Hey dude, let's see what appens if you try to make a chicane with this car !!!
i FUKKEN want this kind of vehicle! more than any car and most bikes
Who watch this in 2019??
