Lit Motors CEO Daniel Kim decided to reinvent the motorcycle as we know it today. His idea? To design and manufacture a fully enclosed, two-wheeled motorcycle that runs purely on battery power. Check out the C1-concept vehicle and its patented gyroscopic stability technology that helps prevent it from tipping over.
With a projected range of 200 miles and a top speed of 120 mhp, this vehicle has real practical uses in mind.
Lit Motors calls the C1 “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 alternated to alternatives on an exciting and safe platform, the C-1 transforms your daily commute into something to look forward to.”
