Lit Motors unveils all- electric, fully enclosed motorcycle

Lit Motors is a scrappy San Francisco startup
with a basic but ambitious plan. They want to
radically change American transportation to be
safer and more fuel-efficient using technology
that’s been around for over a century – the
gyroscope.

Lit Motors’ gyroscopically stabilized C-1
“combines the efficiency and freedom of a
motorcycle with the safety and convenience of
a car,” according to the company’s website.
Officially classified as a motorcycle, the
gyroscope technology that Lit Motors uses
ensures the C-1 will not fall over like one. In
fact, they say it’s virtually untippable, even
when broadsided in an accident. (Unbelievable,
right? Watch the video below.) Plus, the C-1
offers the body protection of a car.
