Lit Motors C-1 enclosed electric motorcycle. (Gyroscopically stabilized)
Found these Videos showing dramatic improvement over the previous prototype. Though still no video of high speed driving. :thumbup:

Very interesting and pretty cool.
I wonder how much power those gyros consume... |
They were at the track. Let's see a race lap.
|
The Arcimoto SRK makes this vehicle obsolete. The Lit is way too complicated with zero benefits.
|
If you are not going to hold up a motorcycle at a stop with your feet, the best way is a third wheel.
|
Gyroscopic devices are interesting in theory, but don't seem so much that practical or reliable.
|
My favorite setup for a self-balancing 2 wheel vehicle is side landing gear like on the X-Tracer that competed for the mileage X-Prize. Could probably even add a manual deployment lever in case something happens to the power.

Would be cool if they used the gyro's as flywheels/generators power source ;)
