Lit Motors C1 Self Balancing Electric Motorbike
LIT Motors C1 has two wheels, but it also has doors and a steering wheel. it uses gyroscopes and electric motors to keep its balance. LIT Motors claims the C1 can do many bike-like things - including split lanes and park at a right angle to the street between cars - but its enclosed cabin should impart a feel that is more car than motorcycle.
Indeed, at only 38 inches wide the C1 should offer all of the maneuverability of a bike or scooter in urban traffic, without exposing occupants to the weather. The all-electric, two-seat C1 has an estimated range of 200 miles, and can do 0 to 60 mph in less than 6.0 seconds. Curb weight is around 800 pounds. The C1 costs about $24,000, but you can't have one yet. This chimeric vehicle was first shown in 2012, but according to Motor Authority deliveries won't begin until the fourth quarter of this year.
