A self-balancing motorbike that defies gravity using cutting-edge technology is ready to redefine city travel.
Equipped with a driver's seat and a steering wheel, the AEV (auto-balancing electric vehicle) or C-1 will merge the thrill of a motorbike with the safety and comfort of a car.
The AEV is the brainchild of Lit Motors' CEO Daniel Kim, who was inspired to create it after he was nearly crushed while assembling a Land Rover Defender.
That near-death experience led him to decide that cars needed "chopping in half" - and so the two-seater car-motorcycle hybrid was born.
The half-car-half-motorcycle uses a gyroscope - a spinning disc used for measuring or maintaining orientation and angular velocity - to remain upright at all times.
The AEV has the capacity to tilt into corners with a lean angle of up to 45 degrees and can be driven in rain, sleet or snow.
