Will you drive this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkvvsRBSroA The C1 will have a 200-mile range, do zero-to-60 mph in 6 seconds with a 120-mph top speed Personally. . .I LOVE IT!!! Can definitely see myself cruising around in one of this. To the Car Experts - How well do you think this will fare in Nigeria? |

This is not a car but a enclosed motorcycle. Nice concept though, I will drive it, it will be fun all the way, no hold-up. Modified keke napep. |

k2039: This is not a car but a enclosed motorcycle. A collision with a Dangote truck is going to be very deadly just like that of power bikes. With power bikes, you can jump off when sensing danger but in this, you'd get crushed like gesha without any hope of jumping out. |

honeric01: I just didn't think in that line, obviously your post made maximum sense. |

Pretty cool seeing the idea come to fruition! The use of gyroscopes and its ability to resist force about its rotation axis is well known but seeing it in action is thrilling nonetheless! In this case, there are two spinning gyroscopes that keep the bike upright. However, like most technological innovation, the science is well known but implementation of it is where boys get separated from men. Here's a pic of a one wheeled bike using gyroscopes. 1 Like

Wallie: Oooh! Nice!!! I likey! Really need to read up on this Gyrowhachumacallit. honeric01:Contrary to Oyb says, I don't think it would be made out of aluminium. Did you watch the entire video? Did you see the collision demonstration? |
