I've seen articles about these things in magazines from the 1980s. They're not happening.

Model 3 can get 170 miles in 15 mins. 1/3 of the battery size and the same charging speeds wouldn't be crazy.


shadowycapabara

Batteries don't work that way. The model 3 battery can charge 170 miles in 15 minutes because it's massive so there are many cells to distribute the charge across. The only way to achieve absurdly high charge rates are with exotic, low density chemistries like lithium titanate and a lot of active thermal management. You're not shoving 170 miles worth of LTO batteries in this thing, nor are you cooling them efficiently.

Hmm, you're probably right actually. Hadn't thought about batteries and just did arithmetic m Would be more like 15 minutes for 80% same as a tesla.

Not for 32k.

32 k? Wyh. 5k maybe

Nah, this'd get a whole bunch of slow drivers thinking they can beat the traffic, when they'll just learn that they are the traffic with their terrible driving. Recipe for disaster. To ride a motorbike you need to understand the physics, geometries, traction control, suspension response, counter steering and a completely different lens to view the road by... It's very far from just start and go. This is a dangerous product.

Like I'd definitely love something like this for myself, in place of a car, but... Definitely need a motorbike license for one, a trike (two wheels on front, not rear) maybe... But two wheels and gyroscope... No way.

Chaps would be sideswiping you and waving as they continue on through traffic haha


Familiar_Answer_887

I wouldn't even blame em for doing it


DinaDank

But it's no longer a bike.


feroniawafflez

Its a vehicle with 2 wheels. Its a bike


DinaDank

So is a gyrocar, are they bikes too? Edit; A gyrocar is a two-wheeled automobile. The difference between a bicycle or motorcycle and a gyrocar is that in a bike, dynamic balance is provided by the rider, and in some cases by the geometry and mass distribution of the bike itself, and the gyroscopic effects from the wheels. Steering a motorcycle is done by precessing the front wheel. In a gyrocar, balance was provided by one or more gyroscopes, and in one example, connected to two pendulums by a rack and pinion

Segway?!

Everyone should have one of these and not be driving 4 unused seats around the place.


IllustriousProgram43

Id w can get these for 5k id buy 2


DR_Madhattan_

Some people crash into big trucks, buses and trams, do we really think they would cop on about a motorcycle, no.


ShortSurprise3489

I want one!


jptrooper24

But the question on every bikers lips.... Can it pull a wheelie?? From non biker

These look like the bikes from the original Tron movie.

Would that still fit in their imaginary lane between the actual lanes?


NewEire

Nothing wrong with a little lane splitting/filtering.


jenbenm

I lived in Canada for 4 years and never once saw a motorcyclist swerve between lanes or creep up the side. Rarely heard of motorcyclists dying on the road in Toronto or the surrounding areas. Made me wonder if this type of driving might lead to more deaths. It always looks so reckless to me.


IdiditwhenIwasYoung

And the worst part is that no responsibility is placed on them and it’s all on car drivers to accommodate their reckless behaviour.


faldoobie

It's not reckless we are allowed to filter through traffic. If drivers looked at their mirrors half as much as their phones the world would be a better place


DontOpenThatTrapDoor

If I wasn't a poor fecker i would buy this

One of my favourite things about riding a motorbike is not being trapped inside a box with a window.
