This is interesting.
"Sitting in the glare of a few spotlights is the LIT Motors C1, an
enclosed two-wheeler that combines the flexibility and fuel efficiency
of an electric motorcycle with the safety, comfort and storage space of
a small automobile.
But there's a true innovation at work: the C1 has two powerful on-board
gyroscopes generating 1,300 ft-lbs of torque that keep the two-wheeler
upright even when struck by a larger vehicle."
The YouTube headline calls it a car, but I think scooter is more
appropriate. Carooter? Scar?

if it has gyros to keep it upright it must be a bitch to corner on..
It could take part in The Lord Mayor's Precession.
Best laugh I've had today.
Thank you.
