It's a bike> It's a car. It's a BikeCar!
This is a urban personal transportation concept that marries the convenience of a car with the plusses of a motorcycle. It is stabilised using a gyro and amazingly agile. Looks good too.

vikaskumar11233Hey Bioramani great sharing and I was also confuse to see this combo and I think it should be called "Bi-car" but one question I had that how a person will balance it as it has door then how he will put his leg to control the bike as in video they demonstrate that it will not fall a side I am not sure about this.

"The C-1 is basically like a rolling helmet. So you have a motorcycle that is fully enclosed and the gyros put out 1300 rpm's of torque. It takes a baby elephant to tip it over. It really is un-tippable and you have all the best parts of a car integrated with a motorcycle."

vikaskumar11233Hi bioramani
I got your point but I don't think such concept will be actually ok for people or will be safer in road because when car get turn it get lean towards one direction. -

Not really. If you study gyroscopes and precession you will know that the axis of rotation angles down to take care of the turning momentum just like the racing cyclists lean towards the centre of turn.vikaskumar11233Hi bioramani

Bioramani thanks for telling it in detail but I was just telling my point in consideration what general people think they will not be getting such technical thing.bioramaniNot really.

gohmInteresting they named it the C-1, which was also the model of a BMW scooter that was enclosed.
