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.

Sounds nice, but I'd still probably rather go on 3 wheels. Look at this one:

A cousin of mine who's a metal fabricator did the conversion using a narrowed Chevette rear-end.

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