Considering the Segway has been out for years, this seems like a realistic product. Since I live in Connecticut, this would make an excellent all year round commuter vehicle. I was behind a motorcycle today in pouring rain:) But lets be realistic. This is still not a "safe" vehicle. When the old man who can only see out one eye pulls out on front of you in his 6000 pound 1986 Chevy you are still leaving in an ambulance.

"they should reportedly have a top speed of 125 mph (201 km/h)"
Why do designers and manufacturers always make vehicles that have top speeds that you can't legally use? If you want snappy acceleration, that's fine. But nobody other than law enforcement needs a top speed over 75 mph.
Good luck to them, but I still think this is a problem with a simpler solution. A narrow track tilting three-wheeler (basically an enclosed Piaggio MP3) can be just as stable at speed or stopped using a fraction of the complexity or power. There's no real advantage to insisting on two wheels.

get the range up to 300 miles at 70 mph I would be a buyer

At last a machine that meets the market with speed and range. I commute 240km per day and petrol is a killer. The sped limits are slow andmost traffic complies. All it needs is an AUTO PILOT.

I notice that in the video one of the guys had his head sticking through where the glass roof should be, if we ever get these in Australia I suspect it would require a helmet, so there could be problem in regards to head room there.

Looking at video it appears the turning circle just doesn't cut it. A safety cell concept and airbags for rider a must. Half roof removal option would be great for those perfect days. I would prefer blistering acceleration up to a 70mph top speed. A 200 mile range is reassuring for most long distance commuting. Cheaper inner city parking and heavy traffic advantages. Add the newer LED blue tinted lighting for night and the very bright white for day. Obviously Daniel and his team are very mindful of affordability. All electric cars even with great technology built in where I live, won't be had for less than $45,000. A price difficult to justify when many of the super efficient diesel fully imported cars can be bought for $35,000 or less.

Great work guys! Could be relevant to many European cities and towns with very narrow roads unsuited to cars, low weight increases range and has the cool factor too. 125mph not a problem in Germany.....;)

Three wheelers are more stable and won't fall if the power is interrupted. Good development never the less.

It's great to see it actually working, especially in reverse, but there's still a hell of a long way to go before this thing can 'flip flop' through a chicane, with precision, like a motorcycle, or indeed a Peraves Monotracer, which I will remind you, has been in production for many years now and whose electric version is much closer to sale, with 5 machines already on the road with full legality and a proven 200 mile range cruising at 75mph (and I've driven two of them). I'm still very skeptical about the price and timescales predicted here, and whether there's really going to be room enough for two normal-sized human beings in the current cabin size (I doubt it!). Personally, if I were Lit Motors, I would be doing a KISS* version in parallel with the gyro-balanced one, either with 'Fred Flintstone' holes for the feet or Peraves-type outriggers for true full enclosure.

@thestav: There are a million armchair designers. I'm not one of them. A removable top would decrease the range by upsetting the aerodynamics.
