Just THINK of the number of things on that bike to go wrong. All it needs now is an electric motor and lithium batteries, then in an accident we have what could be called an explosive ending.

It must already be electric powered, But the only thing that even remotely denotes it as being a motorcycle is because it only has 2 wheels,

It's a nice example (proof) of the comment that AI stands for absolute insanity.
Just think what happens when Joe Dopey is riding it...to it's limits,when the computer (or sensor) malfunctions.

It isn't AI it's physics.

Not AI? What do you think it is then bloody magic?

That bike is amazing! Imagine the combination of that thing with someone riding it giving it the feedback/input it needs to be totally stable a speed? Incredible potential.

I do like this. It's amazing. Also it looks very Terminator. But I don't know how practical it would be as a bike. It seems like it would be trying to lean, and I would be trying to lean, and it would be horrible. Ever have the girlfriend on back and she doesn't know how to lean and the bike's wobbling all over the place? Yeah like that.
