Lit Motors C1

[Radar]

This new creation from the USA staddles a stange middle ground between motorbike and compact car not seen since the now defunct Carver of thelate noughties.

To quote the firms website:

Introducing the C-1, the world’s first gyroscopically-stabilized
“rolling smart phone”. This vehicle combines the efficiency
and freedom of a motorcycle with the safety and
convenience of a car. Offering the “alternative
to alternatives” on an exciting and safe
platform, the C-1 transforms your
daily commute into something
to look forward to.

Apparently can break 100mph, clear through 60 in less than 6 seconds and will do 200 miles on a single charge. Although I doubt that it will 100mph for 200 miles…

Loks sort of cool though!

Does look good. They say in one report that they have been working on it for over 8 years. Takes a long time to do these prototypes.

I like the Gyro incorporation, looks a useful feature for any enclosed 2 wheeler.

Can’t help but keep thinking ‘Lit’ is French for ‘bed’ though….
