Will you drive this?

The C1 will have a 200-mile range, do zero-to-60 mph in 6 seconds with a 120-mph top speed

The C1 operates much like a car, with a steering wheel that works in concert with the two gyroscopes sitting beneath the driver. Turn in either direction and the C1 knows to slightly lean the machine over in that direction to facilitate the turn. "It's not like riding a motorcycle, where you the rider has to lean," says Kim. "It's more like piloting a fighter jet, where you turn and the plane banks."

An accelerator pedal sends electric current to the two wheel-mounted motors, while the brake pedal scrubs off speed; there's a small space for cargo behind the single seat.

Target customers - People who already ride motorcycles but are concerned about safety, don't like dressing up in bulky riding gear and crave more storage space. But an ever larger market "would be people who might have never ridden a motorcycle but are looking for a solution to their commuting headache," he says.

Personally. . .I LOVE IT!!! Can definitely see myself cruising around in one of this.

To the Car Experts - How well do you think this will fare in Nigeria?

It is a coated bike not a car

This is not a car but a enclosed motorcycle.

Nice concept though, I will drive it, it will be fun all the way, no hold-up.

Modified keke napep.

A collision with a Dangote truck is going to be very deadly just like that of power bikes.

With power bikes, you can jump off when sensing danger but in this, you'd get crushed like gesha without any hope of jumping out.

I just didn't think in that line, obviously your post made maximum sense.

Pretty cool seeing the idea come to fruition! The use of gyroscopes and its ability to resist force about its rotation axis is well known but seeing it in action is thrilling nonetheless! In this case, there are two spinning gyroscopes that keep the bike upright. However, like most technological innovation, the science is well known but implementation of it is where boys get separated from men.

Here's a pic of a one wheeled bike using gyroscopes.

after all the yabis of correct cars sisi finally shows us her dream vehicle - an aluminium enclosed bicycle

Oooh! Nice!!! I likey!

Really need to read up on this Gyrowhachumacallit.

Contrary to Oyb says, I don't think it would be made out of aluminium.

Did you watch the entire video? Did you see the collision demonstration?

But not on Nigerian roads na.
