Lit Motors’ C-1 Combines the Best of Both Two-Wheeler & Four-Wheeler Worlds

Lit Motors has built a vehicle like no other called the C-1, which they claim to have the useful benefits of a motorcycle and the convenience of a car.

The C-1 is fully enclosed and self-balancing, making it as good as a car or better in many ways.

Lit Motors first introduced the C-1 in 2011, but experienced many hurdles back then.

Now they are back and taking pre-orders for a 2 wheeler they boast to be an equivalent of a 4 wheeler.

This small vehicle is a one-passenger two-wheeler EV for $24,000.

Lit's CEO, Danny Kim, is now back with a newer C-1, which is priced at $32,000.

C-1's two gyroscopic systems can keep it balanced, just like a car. It is powered by a 13kWh battery that has a range of about 200 miles.

Lit Motors can use pre-order reservations to begin production, and its experience with the Kubo scooter will come in handy in producing dependable personal EVs.
