Electric motorbikes are capable of self-balancing

The car perfectly combines the high-power electric vehicle (EV) with this motorbike to be promising. However, because current battery technologies are still limited, plus too high prices, the benefits of moving from gasoline-powered motorcycles to C-1 are not really clear, at least in the short term. .

To envision the C-1, the world's first full-wheeled, two-wheeled electric vehicle with self-balancing capabilities, you can do the following additions: smaller than the Smart Car, the price is only close One third of the Nissan Leaf ($ 32,500) but safer than a normal motorcycle. And yet, this car can 'chat' with your smartphone as well as connect to the cloud connection. Most importantly, there is no way you can tilt this car, even when it comes to a collision with a car.

Founder, President and Chief Technology Officer Danny Kim and his team at Lit Motors designed C-1 completely different from other electric vehicles (EV). They design and assemble C-1 completely by hand and develop technologies from scratch, instead of taking advantage of the available technologies. The result is a product that is not only appealing to the people playing technology, but even users who are always concerned about the price are convinced.

"We want to target the future of personal transport ," Kim said on TechCrunch. 'If this product is quickly launched into the mass market, we will be able to reduce traffic congestion, limit fuel use, reduce CO 2 emissions that people can still move quickly. and effective '. The maximum speed that C-1 can reach is over 100 miles / hour. The car must only recharge after every 200 miles of travel and can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles in just approximately 6 seconds.

Although many electric cars have been introduced in the past 5-10 years, the basic problem of this new model is still the poverty of the model and the price is too high. The starting price of C-1 at the time of official release (2014) will be USD 24,000. It will take 1-2 years for this price to fall to USD 16,000. And when the 'mass' scale (over 100,000 products sold per year) is reached in 2018, the C-1 will drop to $ 12,500. You should also consider not paying a penny for gas and gas money when driving.

The most special feature of C-1 is the ability to balance itself based on gyroscopes, so no matter how big the wind is or how rough the terrain is, the car is always safe. The special KERS brake system of the car is also part of the gyroscopic stabilization system, making it always upright in all conditions, even when it collides with other objects / vehicles.

The C-1 has all the amenities of an existing car such as AC power, control windows, airbags . Users can program certain running modes or start the car with a smartphone. Even according to Mr. Kim, you can 'suggest' the car, like 'Is it a little cold in here?' and C-1 will automatically increase the conditioning temperature. In addition, your favorite music channels and social networks like Yelp and Foursquare can also integrate into your car, in case you ask C-1 to turn on music or find a restaurant.
