    "When all goes well they keep the motorcycle upright"….and what happens when the gyro-system malfunctions??? I foresee billion dollar class-action lawsuits. Why rely on such high tech when we all know it will inevitably breakdown and injure the drivers. And 2 wheels don’t do very well in the snow which covers much of the United States for 6 months; my motorcycle sits n the garage all winter long. So $24,000 for a 6 month vehicle for commuting? And there is no joy here which bikers want such as feeling the wind and leaning the bike over when going through turns; I love riding motorcycles but I have zero interest in this thing. I don’t see any advantage here over a much more stable 3 or 4 wheeled vehicle. It’s now 2019 so seven years after this guy predicted (2012) his sales launch would be in 2014 I have yet to see even one of these on the road here in the Midwest. Either there were serious problems or the market just isn’t there. This is an example of a tech genius who didn’t seem to understand the practical side of things.

  5. Strix on August 16, 2020 at 6:42 pm

    Doesn’t that mean, the bike willgo upright through curves, not lean into it? Would’t that be a heavy contradiction to the very concept of a bike?

  22. Genaro Francis Tabag on August 16, 2020 at 7:02 pm

    I developed an oscillating pedal that is very efficient and it is the World’s BEST design. Use a conventional bike, just remove it’s cranks, spindle and chainwheel then assemble this invented mechanism . The conventional bike frame’s bottom bracket will be the housing of this invention….. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1ZPAnzWEwo
