kinda cool

Depends on the price tho as a commuter. $24k - ouch - $5k yeah sure.
200 miles on a charge.

might have been on here before.....but hey it's cold and dreary out


Now I wonder if that tech could be harnessed on the track in a sport version - what would happen between this and traction control.....something on rails???

nother video

winter riding anyone? - 360's down the highway

Nah,bikes don't need a roof.

$19k for that thing? Wow I'd def not pay that. Interesting concept and I'm sure the $ will come down with time but I wouldn't pay to be an early adopter. How's it in the rain and snow??

I agree - I'd be interested to see how a slimmed down sports version might handle.
I also like that range on an electric.

I' liked the $5k better but realistic might be interested in $8 without the roof.

Be weird to see something like that off road too....like a desert race or some such - you could carve crazy slopes and since it's electric could be dual wheel drive.

It's not so much the vehicle as the gyro tech that is interesting. Combined with traction and wheelie control .....yikes.

Neat concept.

Was posted on here about 3 months ago I think.

Could have been - but I think they've moved forward a bit now which is why it popped up in the tech sites again..
I keep thinking of what a untippable bike would look like on a race track or twisties- the ride could get thrown but the bike would stay upright???

The gyros must weigh a fair bit to exert the forces needed.
