Been listening to this pitch for 14 years now....
I've actually seen this kind of vehicle 40 years ago at a car show in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
Oh yeah you two well my great great great great grandmother invented this motorcycle 400yrs ago!!!
Yelp, I'm sure it will take another 14 years to actually see one in production.

@@ronaldl9085 Ecomobile produced by Peraves AG, manufactured in Switzerland since 1984. It's a two seater too.
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
Was going to post almost the same thing. I think $15k would even do it.
Great for family travel!!
@@rocketmanzimm vahahhahhahaha
5K should be the maximum for a motorcycle. BYD Seagull full electric car is just 11K so this motorcycle shouldn't cost more than a car.
I assume there are supplier costs that at initial production they cannot get around. That being said, if they could get a big investor who can help them ramp up at a high initial loss without issue…
LOL, we'll have flying cars before this goes into production!
Exactly 😅
Why do you say that?
I am genuinely curious .
I have been complaining about the Aptera car not coming out for over 20 years
@@albertodesantis739 And you'll continue to complain about it for another 20 years.
@@albertodesantis739 Aptera will have classic status when it comes out:)
The accident really messed up his mind. Give it to the Chinese, they will shave a zero off the price.
I believe "Kim" is a Korean name.
@@gorilladisco9108 That was his point
Kind of a lame to attack someone with an accident they had.
And yes, Chinese will shave the price. Because that's all they can do. Their suppressing government kills all the freedom that people need to come up with ideas like this. These inventions always sprout in free countries. Then the Chinese copy it and sell it cheaper.
Good luck with finally commercialising the C1 Lit motors.
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
That says it sll! End of the silly dream!
You are right.But these guys know they cannot survive the chinese market.So they earn as much as possible in the shortest possible time,and scoot.
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.
the aptera ev is more stable an its aerodynamic an self charging making it better an around the same price rage. its just the battery bank with all parts put it into 25g an this new ev is around 31 with the tech in it so thats why i think you should look into the apptera.
@@jeremyschultz4731
I'll check into that, thanks.
The Carver a similar vehicle with 2 rear wheels without the complication of gyroscopes and was expensive...
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.
Tesla and affordability don't go together!
@@jarjarbinks3193 sadly you are right, this is the thing I always complain about tesla and most electric vehicle brands.
I dont know, it must be an economic reason on why doing an affordable, simple, efficient and cheap electric vehicle is not convenient for most companies.
Maybe this would force them to manufacture these by millions creating other issues for the company in ways I can not imagine (like lacking of batteries) Who knows, but I guess is time, someone should start with that.
Tesla losing..
@@ahmagdy81Losing what? Where? Please keep quiet if you have nothing constructive to say.
@@jarjarbinks3193
Especially when it comes to insurance !
This gets the vehicle on two wheels awards. Very dynamic & futuristic 👍
Wow what a fantastic looking vehicle. Hope this goes into production. But the price is to high for the average Joe 👍🏴
Hell No, Musk would ruin it entirely !
Love it, but not at $32k. They need to bring this to the sub-20k market to have a chance.
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.
32K is definitely out of my reach, and this is the type of vehicle I need.
I really like this car model, it's beautiful and has the function of standing on its own without falling over
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?
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.
Saving space on the highway can also be achieved by Highspeed bullet train technology which is also, (fully electric)......
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.
Yea I’m sure they are a little more enlightened than that 🤔
It should be economic price, so that common people could buy, particularly Asian countries
I've known this EV for a long time and really like the styling and technology
Will it enter production?
It will never go to production.
Cybertruck needs a new plaything 😂
This is very very old technology. Main problem is constant additional energy consumption for gyroscopes and not small weight of gyroscopes.
China, plz do your thing and bring this to market fast and cheap.
First they have to steal the blue prints. Without any R&D cost sure it can be produced at a lower cost.
Thanks ❤❤❤
If it is less price it is going to be superhit in India
"Lit Motors promises..." We have heard that too many times I am afraid. Less than zero cred now.
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.
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.
We need this in our life 😙👍
What a great idea, almost exactly the same as Toyota I-Road.
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
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
I want three
For the price, this will be a good toy for the rich.
Great idea but that gyro stabilizer will use a heap of energy undoing alot and probably all of the efficiency advantages.....
not at all, once it is started, it doesn't take lots of energy to maintain the spin, but it does add weight and resistance for the motor to overcome
Will it not fall over when the battery goes flat lol
@@marcushull12 It has a kick stand when the gyros are turned off. lol
Good grief. Been waiting for over a decade. Now we must wait another year.
I'll stick with my Reliant Robin thanks. It's a hellovalot cheaper.
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.
Hmm. Sinclair C1 would like a word.
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.
Dam cool vehicle!
I would be interested if the price drops!
Honda already did something similar except they don't use the gyros
How do they stack up when raced?
NOT A HEAVY RAIN OR SNOW RIDE
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 know a guy making a diesel one of these., Casey Putsch.👍🇨🇦
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.
That is not the vehicle on the race track😅
E-Bike … it’s a very fancy and VERY expensive E-bike… ✌️🌍✌️ ( that flops over if out of juice! ). 😂
This is so NOT the future! 😂
To increase the space, is it not possible to put the motors inside the wheels???
try going to Costco with that, lol
I will keep my Toyota Corolla 2006!! 😳♥️
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.
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!
I could get a nice Impreza for that price.
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.
Long distance Road trips are probably extremely hard on the body
The price will keep the vehicle from gaining the popularity it deserves. IMO
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.
I remember this guy working on this product about 15 years ago. Is it out?
32,000 dollars for one? 😂
The first problem they will run into is that BMW has already an enclosed motorcycle called C1 ...
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!
can't wait
Consideration for a water powered engine now.❤
Wow!! my dream vehicle.
It's nice to have this.. But until now I cant find anyone driving. Is this for real?
I want one
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.
Where available in Dehradun Uttrakhand
The name C1 reminds me uncomfortably of the Sinclair C7.
Tell him to sell this under $10K. Anything over that doesn't make sense.
So many years we have waited but no product to buy.
I been waiting for this new vehicle.
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
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.
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.
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.
NEW C1🎉🎉🎉
toyota has something similar for a few years but not in production yet
This like motorcycle 😊
15 years after...
A nice second ride for the rich.
When will you put aptera solar on it?
I hope they replace the chain drive with a toothed belt drive.
Also more safe😊
I’m not sure what classification of “motorcycle” they’re staying this doesn’t fit. The Áptera has 3 wheels and is much more care like but it is classified as an “autocycle or motorcycle” so it would seem strange is this wasn’t.
What happens when the battery’s dead?
A vehicle like this should not cost more than 15K $/€. The consumer simply will not buy it at more expensive price.
Cool😊
Where it is available ?
Does it have AC or heat?
Great design. I love it but it's pricey!
