This isn't the first time auto-makers have tried to design a motorcycle-car hybrid, but as "Top Gear" showed us a few years back, the Reliant Robin was hardly practicle. We really hope Lit Motors Inc. improved on that, because they're attempting to develop a new breed of motorcycle-car hybrids. Fortunately, developers say it'll take a baby elephant to knock this one over.
The Lit C-1 is technically a motorcycle, as it runs on two wheels, but has a chassis that looks a lot like a smart car. The vehicle uses a system of sensors and gyros to stabilize the bike, even if it gets it, and has built-in "smartphone" technology that keep it up-to-date on traffic and weather. It also uses an
electric motor. Lit explains, "We are reinventing the motorcycle and rethinking the future of commuting to create green jobs supporting a sustainable future." They should be hitting the streets in 2014. Want one?
If you're going to get a car....get a car!
If you're going to get a bike....get a bike!
Yea, I couldn't think of a safer car actually. You are correct. How silly of me.
You should know very well that the type of accident that my friend was referring to is the most common type of accident, and one in which the Smart car is far safer than nearly all other vehicles. You can show rare photos and descriptions of any examples of things such as this which can and do happen to all types of vehicles, and it does not prove that any of those vehicles are either safe or not. I base my opinions on what commonly happens in the real world not the rare exceptions.
