Self-standing two-wheel vehicles and Lit
« on: November 30, 2016, 10:06:17 PM »

We haven't heard much about Lit lately, but here is some news which starts out describing the recent BMW EV motorcycle concept and moves on to Lit, discussing some of its technology and mentioning interesting news about Apple in talks about buying the company.  If that should happen, then it is possible that the Lit might actually hit the road some day as a consumer product - of some sort.   ???

That's not a motorcycle, it's a two wheeled car.

I hesitate to say what the Lit is and I feel the same way about the three-wheel vehicles with steering wheels that are on the market today.   ???

The Lit is a two-wheeled car that I'd prefer to buy over a four-wheeled car or a trike!

Now if this thing would allow me to filter through traffic during wintertime that would be huge.

The real question is whether it can be agile enough, and maintain balance on slippery roads.

Unsure about lanesplitting until I get a test drive, but they have published video demos of maneuvering on ice.
