Description:

Anyone who owns a motorcycle that travels frequently and especially in the winter with the car. But many riders want the benefits of a car and a motorcycle to unite. Especially the two-wheelers offer more advantageous compared to the large and bulky cars a lot of features.


They consume less fuel, with them can be in crowded cities find a suitable one a lot easier parking, they are generally less space and more agile and usually make driving more fun.

But especially in bad weather and in cold weather with snow and ice makes motorcycling generally less fun and is also very dangerous.

For this reason, are now trying for some time, several vehicle manufacturers to develop a vehicle that can innovatively as possible the benefits of the genera car and motorcycle to unite. Just recently tried the Californian startup company Lit motor to such a development.

This is, in his own words; revolutionize the motorcycle market a bit.

Whether and to what extent this actually happens remains to be seen.

The approaches of the U.S. company are certainly not new and previously recorded by the market rather than inspiring been slow.

However, the development of the engine manufacturer offers some innovations that make it seem quite interesting. By the proposed cabins are to die-hard motorcycle biker convinced by the new approach and new buyers are acquired.

Relatives from Bavaria
Who Lit the C-1 engine for the first time will see, not only think of the name due to existing competition from Bavaria. The two-wheeler of Americans will be either covered, as to be completed with doors on both sides. This is intended to be completely protected against bad weather and accidents. Thus, the motorcycle offers increased safety with a similar driving pleasure as well as other Bikes.

The manufacturer tries so to combine the advantages of a car with the agility of a motorcycle. Even technology enthusiasts, at the C-1 at their expense. Thus, the vehicle offers an Internet connection on the go, a digital dashboard with various display options such as current weather or traffic data.

This may be technical gimmicks that do not have the Bavarian partner.

The C1 scooter , which of BMW produced and marketed, since 2000 on the German market and was hard to integrate into the existing market of motorcycles and scooters. The concept of a covered two-wheeler came back then and even today still very well accepted among German customers. While the scooters caught, especially in the media landscape, a bit of attention, but could never become a blockbuster.

Actually a planned development was discarded and developed a similar, marketable concept again. The scooter is still in the portfolio of the Bavarian Motor Works exists, but rather leads there in the shadows.

Known technique repackaged
The Americans therefore want to make something better with their development and are committed to innovation and new technologies.Thus the two-wheel drives around with an electric motor and is very convenient in use and as in a car insurance calculator can see, even very cheap in terms of running costs.

With a load current is the city car so on a range of over 320 kilometers – a very good performance for such a vehicle. As innovative it is also possible the following technique described, which will be integrated into the C-1: If we have two-wheel side of the road, you do not now remember how before the leaf, a stand, but can easily be removed from the vehicle without the overturning of this.

Namely the C-1 has the same technology as the so-called Segway scooters, which means that he can stand without a prop on two wheels, independently holds the balance. This should be quite able to care for one or the other surprised look.

The manufacturer is aiming for a launch in the next year. A concept which is capable of doing, should relieve existing traffic congestion by at least car-like companion because of the increasingly precarious traffic situation in urban areas come with a positive response. If you want to treat the driving pleasure with such a vehicle will have expected at launch, with an investment of about $ 13,000.
