This Auto Balance Electric Vehicle Wants to DESTROY the ENTIRE Car Industry! Lit Motors C-1 

Been listening to this pitch for 14 years now....

At 32K, it is only a plaything for the rich.

At 10K it will kill the car market, not at 32K price! That's why

LOL, we'll have flying cars before this goes into production!

The accident really messed up his mind. Give it to the Chinese, they will shave a zero off the price.

Great concept, but man that's pricey! My new 2011 Scion xD cost 18 grand when I bought it. Electric or not, I couldn't justify the expense.

Good luck with finally commercialising the C1 Lit motors.

The Carver a similar vehicle with 2 rear wheels without the complication of gyroscopes and was expensive...

This only has active safty, if the gyro fails, then what? You know they tried this 100 years ago with a single rail train right? It's not a new idea, so not quite sure how he got a patent for it but anyway. You cant sell a bike/car without "passive safty" (a motorbike ultimatly has a person's foot) in the case of a car, it has four wheels. Even a tricycle doesn't just fall over. Reliying on active balance gives no such passive safety. That, over engineering & the extra (unessesary) power needed for the gyro make this DOA for the mass market I think. You can still do narrow track 3 & four-wheel vehicles without active balance, so why don't you see those often? The price (32,000) is ludicrous & reflects the complexity & over engineering. Getting through regulation is the other cost/problem. Just go with narrow track two front wheels or even four wheels, similar results, easier to engineer, less cost, known tech, passive safety & roughly the same form factor is possible. Also, Gyros are loud in operation probably. That's why you never get a sound track on these clips. Sounds like a lawnmower

It would be great if Tesla buys Lit motors and take the product to a more affordable price, because this is exactly what Tesla is lacking.

Wow what a fantastic looking vehicle. Hope this goes into production. But the price is to high for the average Joe 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

This gets the vehicle on two wheels awards. Very dynamic & futuristic 👍

Love it, but not at $32k. They need to bring this to the sub-20k market to have a chance.

I really like this car model, it's beautiful and has the function of standing on its own without falling over

Fantastic concept. This would save so much space on the highways and be very convenient to drive and park. Just needs to be more affordable.

As an EV solution, this would need to have a reverse gear for parking, it's own parking bays for charging and it must be able to be driven on a car licence in UK/Europe and the USA etc for mass market appeal.

Needs to let CATL build and sell it. 9'990.- price. Europe would like it.

Been trying to bring this to market for how many years now?

I've known this EV for a long time and really like the styling and technology

"Lit Motors promises..." We have heard that too many times I am afraid. Less than zero cred now.

It should be economic price, so that common people could buy, particularly Asian countries

This is very very old technology. Main problem is constant additional energy consumption for gyroscopes and not small weight of gyroscopes.

Will it enter production?

It will never go to production.

Cybertruck needs a new plaything 😂

32K is definitely out of my reach, and this is the type of vehicle I need.

China, plz do your thing and bring this to market fast and cheap.

I am willing to bet that NO member of the development team EVER said they wanted to DESTROY the ENTIRE Car Industry! They'll be happy selling a few hundred thousand of these.

The pager came, but was out placed by dumb mobiles. Electronic typewriter was relegated to shelf by computers. Innovative ideas keep pouring.

Thanks ❤❤❤

It's cool but I'm afraid it has very limited market. A simpler and better alternative is just the good old fashion electric tricycles and we have plenty of them here in China.

What a great idea, almost exactly the same as Toyota I-Road.

How do they stack up when raced?

I wonder why Toyota I Road was not launched after its pilot program in Japan in 2015

I like the concept, but I need a lot more distance. If the Sakuu metal-free batteries become viable, then weight, distance, and cost would line up better. Big if, though.

Dam cool vehicle! I would be interested if the price drops!

We need this in our life 😙👍

If 14 years of trying to put this vehicle on the market wasn't enough to reformulate the concept, you guys have no solution. Cheap Carver One is the answer.

If it is less price it is going to be superhit in India

You could gigacast the whole body by the looks of it. Perhaps make the batteries removable which makes the purchase cost easier. Setup kiosks that you swap the batteries like they have for Scooters in Vietnam / Korea

I'll stick with my Reliant Robin thanks. It's a hellovalot cheaper.

Hmm. Sinclair C1 would like a word.

India needs to do research in these type of congestion avoiding EV solutions, of course accomodating a family of 4, possibly without side doors but with roof over head!

I want three

Great idea but that gyro stabilizer will use a heap of energy undoing alot and probably all of the efficiency advantages.....

We would all love one. When can we get one? I’ve been looking for something like this for years and they’ve just never quite come up to this level.

yeah, someone's lit.

Good grief. Been waiting for over a decade. Now we must wait another year.

Europe and America are afraid that the car market will collapse, but if it is China, they are not afraid and will crush the car market and compete with it. If there is something new that makes the old things better, they should change.

NOT A HEAVY RAIN OR SNOW RIDE

A lot point scoring negativity. This deserves to succeed. Gyros can be efficient and commercially successful checkout seakeeper. Tesla started as a pricey 2 seater. The story of the founder is inspiring. In the UK motoring started with a man walking with red flag. The red flaggers still exist I can see in many of the comments.

For the price, this will be a good toy for the rich.

Whatttt !! ,they actually bringing back the c1 and tring to get into production this time ? .......they raised the price on it , cause wasn't it in the $20k to $25k somewhere around there yrs ago I think those gyros are going to use alot of power , because not only your going to be using up power when your riding you'll be using the gyros too at the same time because they constantly have to be on until your not riding it , unless they figured out a way on how to use the littlest amount of energy as possible to give it alot of power while still being able to maintain the 100 mile range , either way I want 1

Long distance Road trips are probably extremely hard on the body

To increase the space, is it not possible to put the motors inside the wheels???

Where available in Dehradun Uttrakhand

The C-1 could be a good 'second' vehicle for a family or a 'commuter vehicle'! Besides, Danny Kim should realize that drivers would still think of the C-1 as a motorcycle that cannot legally, 'weave' in & out of traffic! If a separate lane could be 'dedicated' for the C-1, it might work, but now it would be too dangerous for our crowded streets!

That is not the vehicle on the race track😅

Consideration for a water powered engine now.❤

try going to Costco with that, lol

This is so NOT the future! 😂

The concept is good. It’s just too expensive. It should be sold for 10-12000 usd to make a massive change to global transport

E-Bike … it’s a very fancy and VERY expensive E-bike… ✌️🌍✌️ ( that flops over if out of juice! ). 😂

Honda already did something similar except they don't use the gyros

It's going to have a fighting change if the asking price is less than 10k. However it's potential customers will be very limited.

I'd predict that tilting of vehicles will get really important and sought after once full self driving arrives as without tilting working on screens or paper causes many severe nausea.

I know a guy making a diesel one of these., Casey Putsch.👍🇨🇦

The name C1 reminds me uncomfortably of the Sinclair C7.

Vapourware; Lit Motors have been promising the C1 for more than 10 years now and still nothing.

We will all enjoy watching this brand new concept DESTROY the ENTIRE car industry, which according to YT experts, has been DESTROYED almost daily for some years now.

The price will keep the vehicle from gaining the popularity it deserves. IMO

Great concept ..... and then you said £32,000. YOu've got to question why its taken them so long to not get to commerical production - poor management.

I will keep my Toyota Corolla 2006!! 😳♥️

Tell him to sell this under $10K. Anything over that doesn't make sense.

You can get a Model 3 long range with over 340 miles of range for $34.900 today. That price is going to need some work.

NEW C1🎉🎉🎉

I could get a nice Impreza for that price.

So many years we have waited but no product to buy.

Wow!! my dream vehicle.

I remember this guy working on this product about 15 years ago. Is it out?

Has potential for a modern pollution free world, something the CEO of Chevron would probably not admite to publicly. Could give Volkwagons a run fpr their money.

Like many concepts that have never become reality. And cars will not be destroyed or replaced any time soon, if ever. People still want to be able to travel with their entire family together, and you simply can't do that on a motorcycle.

Chinese need to get on this, so we can have a more affordable international solution. Big America would price for only the rich few and make sure it doesn't interfer with overpriced domestic which would potential lose sales.

This "idea" or call it technology of a self-balancing vehicle was used in a train 100 years ago in Britain.

I hope they replace the chain drive with a toothed belt drive.

I wouldn't be surprised if Tesla has taken an interest in Lit Motors...Probably the reason why they come back on the scene. Maybe they got something in the works. 🤔

can't wait

Gyroscope has been known good for stability control as the earth rotates and orbits it might compensate the effect, an advanced technolory abd eligible candidate to be intorodiced to the market in various models with reasonable price.

The first problem they will run into is that BMW has already an enclosed motorcycle called C1 ...

It's nice to have this.. But until now I cant find anyone driving. Is this for real?

Looks like a fun toy, but I don’t think grandma will want to get in it.

Where it is available ?

I can get a pre-owned Tesla Model 3 for $30K! And I would be concerned about large potholes and snow or heavy rain.

A nice second ride for the rich.

What about those "first dates" in the back seat, poor future teens ...

32,000 dollars for one? 😂

Does it have AC or heat?

And when impacted nothing will remain but wall paper…

Great design. I love it but it's pricey!

I want one
