Yabba Dabba Doo !! Ever wondered owning a two wheeler yet experiencing
a car drive? Sounds crazy right? How can one get a enclosed feeling sitting on a
two wheeler? The concept is not new though as our famous cartoon characters “
Flintstones did own such a vehicle. But what about in reality? The answer to all
our questions is the worlds first gyroscopically stabilized rolling smart phone.
Hold on! We are not taking about the Apple or the Samsung smart phone.
is the vehicle designed by Lit Motors that combines the efficiency and freedom
of a motorcycle with the safety and convenience of a car. Now, doesnt that sound
interesting? And most importantly its an all electric vehicle, and mind you, it
is an advanced version of the Flintstone model as there is no hole in the bottom
to poke your leg and C-1 has just two wheels!!
Now, a question would come up in mind “ What about the balance while riding?
This smart vehicle moves forward and backward and doesnt fall over. It can be
safely driven up to 160 km/h. The flywheels put out 306 Nm of torque, so the
vehicle gently sways when stopped. And to tackle twists and turns, the s brain
takes the input from the steering wheel and other factors into account and
alters its axes accordingly. Indeed Smart ! The company plans to make 10,000 or
more units and the price for the C-1 is expected to be around $16,000.

This is one amazing concept. This is just the kind of vehicle that is needed is a congested country like India. If it is priced at around $5000 (Rs 2.5 lakhs, it'll will be a massive hit. I'm sure, with some further development and a big manufacturer's backing, costs can be brought down. But, considering the apprehension to experiment by the big players here, I don't think that'll happen anytime soon..
