Old Michael's next motorcycle...

[tcfjr]

From TechCrunch:

The recent influx of both high- and low-end EVs and electric motorcycles have shown promise, but current battery technology is still limiting, and the cost of entry is far too high with the benefits of switching from petrol-powered vehicles not being quite as obvious or apparent in the near term.
Now imagine a vehicle that’s smaller than a Smart Car, nearly a third of the price of a Nissan Leaf ($32,500), safer than a motorcycle with a range capacity that just lets you drive and won’t ever tip over? What you get is Lit Motors’ C-1, the world’s first gyroscopically stabilized, two-wheeled all-electric vehicle, which launched at TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco today. Oh, and it will talk to your smartphone and the cloud. Did I mention that you can’t tip this thing over? (I’ve tried.)

Turning motorcyclists into door slammers! Priceless!

Thanks, but, no thanks!

Easy to say from the land of sunshine...I'm thinking studded tires, or knobbys for a winter bike alternative. I thought something like this would of come out along time ago, for places like Seattle, London, and the Great White North.

Not really land of sunshine here in Nor Cal. This vehicle still wouldn't do it for me, YMMV, but as OP suggest OM might like it.

I still say it's just a 2-wheeled cage. You drive it, you don't ride it.
