Lit Motors C-1, fully-electric, self-balancing, two-wheeled vehicle at Gigaom Roadmap

[@t-rex4211]

I wonder what % of battery is put into the gyros

[@adicahya]

What happened to this project? We never heard from them since...

[@Threetails]

I've seen so many projects like this come and go. At this point I'll believe it when they go into regular production.

[@TheTraveller20081]

I'm still hoping...

[@yogicoorg8388]

What happened this bike not available when coming this bike

[@Rene046]

Is the gyro made out of magnets... to re-use the energy created for the diving ?

[@bellaggio1770]

Wow that is so futuristic. Awesome. Best of luck!

[@charbax]

It has a motorized kick-stand that kicks-in to hold the bike up when not moving.

[@k.o.t.o.n.]

How wide and long it is?

[@kmypu]

when he came to Colombia???

[@WH3]

If this thing can do a U turn I'm sold!!

[@jefftacsin911]

It fully can

[@ardvark84]

They make it sound really smart an all but how it's suppose to turn with those gyros? Will it tilt while turning or not? If not why they fitted bike tyres?

[@saimanojkadiyala]

Is the vehicle in the background a Tesla Modes S?

[@DiegoALexis2079]

It is cool, and i hope it gets on the market sooooonnn plz

[@k.o.t.o.n.]

How wide and long it is?

[@cjkleo]

when will it mature and commercial ly available

[@williepure2474]

When will you market it in Europe and what's the normal price? Thanks for the quick response!

[@TeleporterM11]

Where are the side rear view mirrors-somebody answer me that. How did they technically do away with them.

[@patdawkins6785]

When and where will this be available in the USA? Price?

[@DebashisKabiraj]

what is the name of the special device which balanced.

[@arundas7812]

Hey!! I m interested in doing a similar project for my final year project. We are planning to stabilize the two wheeler even with the rider on it at zero velocity(at rest). Can you give me suggestions for where to start and points to be remembered while doing this project? Thank You

[@ff-ti7nj]

Hey, how did your project end up? could you make a self balancing bike?

[@Mamphe-M]

I am also curious

[@achalarammeghwal3593]

When will this car arrive in india

[@Brother-Bare]

What happen when you have to leave it and turn the motor off? does the gyros continue to run? and if so doesn't that mean more money spent on electricity to keep the gyros running?

[@brandflipping6353]

can u plz tell me in detail of making of this prototype and the mechanism involved in self balancing of vehicle ?

[@ancientbear3280]

It's a rolling smartphone. Andrew what kind of processor does it use. It doesn't have one.

[@daviddungdung1985]

How many months after coming to the odisha this bike

[@manoman0]

What happens to the gyro in case of an accident?

[@pagidipallisathishkumar9060]

When will it comes to India

[@baronlocal8569]

min 1:11 test de rasturnare .. Primele 1000 bucati ar costa 24.000 $ bucata , iar daca sar face in Kina ar costa 5 000 $ !?

[@DanFontanaa]

I wonder how they deal with counter steering?

[@ivanm.9097]

That's a very good question!!

[@theedwards3549]

any storage space

[@tokusan31]

The balance device is revolutionary! That's wonderful. It just feels a little noisy.

[@angelinbluejeans855]

Please keep tall people in mind. Crawling into one is not good. Love this concept!!!!

[@jamespilcher7129]

Yo... That is the future of diving period.. that's not just a motorcycle car... That's a balanced motorcycle... That's crazy.. once that become fully upgraded... That's going to be the greatest thing moving in the future. Facts.

[@Zetephone]

I want to buy one! Where do I buy one?

[@frogola57]

but how much energy do those gyros use up. or can it be transferred to the drive train.

[@ayeatullah2120]

Nice

[@CreatedbyMrMoe]

What happened to this vehicle ?

[@benjaminblumchen6881]

The gyroscope ensures that the vehicle remains upright. A two-wheeled vehicle must be able to make an angle of incline. The faster the more inclined more lean angle

[@MilesBellas]

Great point. Maybe it alters depending on velocity?

[@manoman0]

Pre-order it? Yeah, right....it's still in the prototype phase, it's got no mudguards, no rear window, the gyro sounds like it needs alot more of isolation and and and....I wish them luck, I love this thing, I'd even drive it but I don't see it on the market.

[@sajalsaraswat8619]

they should work on making the gyro silent

[@WolfHeathen]

+sajal saraswat Seeing as how this is an alpha prototype then common sense tells us that the finished product will be quiet.

[@TheTraveller20081]

He said, literally, that at this point in development they've done nothing to shield the noise from the gyros. Of course a production model will fix that.

[@alexlo7708]

How fast that Gyro is spining?

[@SashaNaronin]

+alex Lo iirc around 7000rpm.

[@TheWestchase]

does it reverse?

[@You-Toober]

It seems to @ 4:50.

[@vishalwaghmare4638]

Nice innovation....would they come to India?

[@KhanHasni]

Where i can buy this bike

[@mohammedjaveed4298]

Can we use fuel also in this vehicle.. like gas, petrol,or Disel etc..

[@tudovocepodevamosfazer9278]

Tomara que esse projeto chegue no meu pais e seja bem assecivel👏👏👏

[@bluepawn]

On snow? On ice ? Under 50 c degrees it 's not too hot inside? No battery is it still working or we will fall down? Love the project though

[@SashaNaronin]

+Kalvin One The battery can't die suddenly - it will always have enough power at least for control and gyroscopes. However, should the power fail somehow while riding it may use its motors as generators to control itself while slowing down. Hard drives use the same principle to put data readers into parking position when cutting power - power is taken from motor that is spun by disks with data that have large inertia.

[@mark675]

Ive quite alot of experience with rc motorbikes with gyros and ice is no problem, its like magic!

[@sao.g.sao.g.5646]

PLEASE. JAROOR. BATAAYE. KI. YE. BIKE. C - 1. INDIA. ME. KAHAAN. MILEGAA. AUR. ESKEE. PRICE. KYAA. HAE. PLEASE. PLEASE.

[@robupsidedown]

then explain farings and windscreens.

[@sukroharicots]

Does it come in black

[@zodice1]

+superbait Good guys wear black

[@ryanbappy]

batman?

[@soucorp]

Get this on Jay Lenos Garage !!! he will love it!

[@victorl.6128]

They have been talking and talking for years but I have not seen where and when we can buy one

[@erdal07side-life]

loved ur new generastion motorcycle boys great really good luck :-)

[@Nomoreidsleft]

For all those that worried about the gyros taking up all the power, I doubt they will have it continue to run, while the bike is moving, since the wheels will provide the gyroscopic action, just like a normal bike. Also, when it's stopped for longer periods of time, they will release the automatic kick stand.

[@BigMTBrain]

Outfit a model of this with coming-soon auto-pilot/driver-less tech and it will revolutionize commuting. Firstly, even with only manual steering, it will grab people who don't want a big car. To save on costs, apartments, homes, and condos will offer half-size spaces and garages at a lower price to accommodate these. With driver-less technology, families will be sending young kids off to school and to visit relatives in these. Even GREAT grandma will be able to go anywhere anytime she pleases.

[@1947challenger]

FANTASTIC! Now One thing would be excellent, easy financing. Then you might sell a lot of these fantastic machines to a lot of interested buyers. Keep up the great work, don't lose sight and make it possible for many more of us to join in, How about a "lay-a-way" for a second generation "car" that will be one that costs much less? 12K?

[@got7iloveyou761]

how much US dollars?

[@rleal7485]

they should build a balancer for reliant roblin

[@lawnmowerdude]

I'm looking forward to being able to buy one of these things one day.

[@logmeindangit]

what is the annoyingly loud noise?

[@3ddee155]

gyros.

[@GASTENCE]

souvlaki

[@anuragmaurya7586]

I want to buy this bike in India so please let me know

[@dhanrajsharma1689]

Who to bay this

[@Lord-cf4mt]

How Much For This BIKE?

[@Failedprodegy42]

This thing is such a pipe dream. Never seen anything except the prototype in years. Most likely will never reach production at this point.

[@Bob-zx7io]

This and Elio. They're fairly good scams though. Incorporate your business, make unrealistic claims about your fantasy car, build a neat looking prototype, get investors to give you money, pay yourself a nice hefty salary, funnel as much money as you can into other companies you own, keep saying the vehicle will be in production "within 2 years" and keep telling investors "we just need a bit more money". When the money runs dry declare business bankruptcy and walk away with a tidy sum of money for yourself.

[@othonvasconcelos4614]

Lit is amazing , wonderful , the best.

[@UTubeGlennAR]

Looking good, truly wish you all the best........

[@saifuddinchowdhury8729]

Indian price?

[@Luminaring]

Will love it, if it will feel like a fantastic motorcycle in the curves.

[@MichaelKlusek]

Now if they could make a tandem version.

[@mgarbato]

Your project is amazing, but, why did not you try one standard motorcycle, with the self-balancing technology!!! It would be very cool

[@GediminasJurgaitis]

probably longest developed car/motorcycle :D this car will never reach mass-production stage.

[@chealyna1225]

How much is that lit motors c1??

[@alexlo7708]

chea lynathey said 24k.

[@pagidipallisathishkumar9060]

How much price

[@andryabdjand3645]

Kapan di produksi masal

[@funkycowie]

One thing troubles me about the design... suspension? It looks like if you went over deep bumps the fairing would get smahed against the wheels.

[@islandinsanity9762]

That guy is so freaking smart! Wow!

[@gurindam.duabelas]

you pass the future technology. awesome people you all....

[@Frifler888]

KZbin please we dont want adds, let us see the video's without all that adds disterbing us....Thank you

[@jeffv2074]

its a prototype. I have a bunch of ideas for the C1 especially safety features. I been following the C1 for awhile, I had built a similar Emotor bike back in 2005 I have a 1/10 scale model of it. I'll post up some pictures soon, its similar but way sleeker, more of a sport bike look.

[@lau4893]

I would sure like to see a sportier version of it

[@POLOAZTECA]

+jeffv2074 We want to see...

[@Mamphe-M]

Where's your bike bro

[@creativepeasant]

why is it so noisy?

[@carlitoselpuma621]

Ya está a la venta, como hago para comprarla envíen la información Saludos desde Perú

[@TPYXIDIS]

Good future ~ Fantastic!

[@bmcsue7973]

Very Cool Hope you do well with this I think you will

[@minarakhan6544]

Price

[@ravs4812]

KZbin has not been advertised in a comment on the existence of adblock seems they do not know about adblock If they knew how you did it on sites with poronografiey first need to go to the site and then start video

[@bogesrinivas618]

Price please

[@चेतन_महाराष्ट्र]

This bike from Lit motors will never come to the market.

[@mike000000000000able]

I would prefer a cross between a motorcycle and a car seat- something you straddle. Also, this is a proof of concept prototype, years away from full scale production. I'm sure they can get the final version to be quieter than a kittens purr. I am a little worried that they are only asking $24,000 for first round production- I would expect the first round to be over 30. I guess they are trying to prove they can make it inexpensive as well.

[@brianschnoor3348]

If it gets made in a bright neon color then it'll be alot easier to see in the dark, even if there are no lights.

[@ts.nathan7786]

The camera man is not showing the bottom even the commentator asked show it, how the vehicle is balancing in two wheels.

[@TveTop]

Motorcycles as well as bicycles are self balancing, surprise

[@danasmilkus4111]

[@m1aws]

What a racket! I'm not talking only about the bike. Why an ARM9 in a bike??

[@isaiahmacadam]

What ever happened to this project?

[@MassDynamic]

useful for the people that drive to work alone.

[@dangergranger1]

We had it without adds for over 5 years...

[@T1m0nza]

i FUKKEN want this kind of vehicle! more than any car and most bikes

[@shivambatham2882]

Launch and price

[@Bob-zx7io]

Tomorrow. $4oo. JK the answer is Never.

[@kokopelli314]

CEO, notes to self. 1) Memorize specs of the machine the engineers built. 2) Try to look confident when reporters ask about tipping 3) Book appointment with physiotherapist

[@datguy001-t1n]

You can buy this for the price of 5 used cars, so whats the point?

[@capcadoi]

The point is, there are people who would rather ride something cool. And there are people who would rather drive 5 used cars. The point is also that our transportation has to become ecological (electric), sooner or later. Used cares are neither of those two.

[@normc62]

They're obviously still working on it - the interior is unfinished and all the mechanics are still visible. Once everything is put together, I imagine it will be no different than other vehicles on the road.

[@ginopunsalan]

11 years after and they are still in preorder.

[@flitsies]

Yep I'm thinking if they ain't solved it after 11 years what are the chances of them solving now. Clearly there are some fundamental problems that need solving, throwing money at it won't solve the problem. You can ride a one wheeled vehicle so long as you have balance. I think they need to move away from just using a gyro and look at alternatives, or in conjunction with the gyro.

[@Antitheist]

As I understand it, the project shut down for many years because the owner was severely injured in a motorcycle accident. He’s only recently started the project up again.

[@flitsies]

@@Antitheist I don't think that is a good reason considering it was claimed that grey had a team, well the team could have continued the work if it were viable. The thing is as i said you van ride an EUC which is one wheel, but this is two wheels so should be easier, after all two wheels have been going for a long time, the main problem is when the vehicle stops that's it. How to stop the vehicle toppling over when it stops, when it is moving at a reasonable speed it holds its own, when it stops it will topple over. They use gyros to keep it upright but it can't go fast due to the gyros, what I heard, perhaps the solution should have been to slow the gyros down at speed and use the wheels to speed up the gyros when the vehicle slows down. That way the gyros only come into action at slow speeds and when not moving. But what do I know I am not working on the project.

[@Antitheist]

@@flitsies I’m no expert on this either, but what I read indicated the project could only raise a fraction of the 20 million it needed to move the project along. I’m not sure that has been solved even today, but that would explain the research being put on hold.

[@chris7jakarta]

stay in there bro, you look very cool and pretty!
