If those specs aren't hype and the price is $20,000, I'm in. Sadly, I'm retired, too poor to buy an expensive toy and no longer commute. So I'm out.

They went quiet for a long time. Maybe the tech has caught up enough now to make it viable. Looks like they need to raise some cash.

They have been working on that for about a decade (from memory) and still haven't advanced past the prototype stage. I would be all-in on this if they would build it. But I genuinely believe it to be vaporware at this point.

Looks like an answer to a few questions.

$32,000/£25,000 is probably about right considering the cost of current EV Motorcycles.

I would need more luggage space for two up touring though.

Looks like there is some historical precedent for the Lit Motors self-balancing motorcyle: a self-balancing train!

My 42 inch Sears Craftsman lawn tractor self-balances, and it only cost $1800.

The mockup looks like something out of Elio Motors.
And by that I mean, not of this (real) world.

I believe this will continue to be vaporware for another 15 years.
