The C-1 Electric Motorcycle was created by Lit Motors, Inc. for those who are infatuated with the idea of motor bikes but too afraid to ride one. The C-1 has an enclosed frame, seats two and is balanced by gyroscopes.
The C-1 Electric Motorcycle can hit a top speed of 120 mph and needs to be recharged after an impressive 200 miles. The bike seats two although the second person looks to be somewhat squished in the concept photos. Several gyroscopes placed on the underside of the vehicle would help balance it at stops and in the event of an accident. Lit Motors' C-1 would also have H2V, H2C, V2I and V2V connectivity to provide drivers with real-time information on weather and traffic conditions.
