Title: Another fully enclosed EV - the C-1
Post by: Richard230 on March 01, 2012, 12:16:46 PM

Here is the latest competition for the Mono-Tracer, the C-1. Its claim-to-fame is that it is stabilized by gyros. Plus, at a price of 15,000 Pounds, seems really (too) cheap. I wouldn't put too much money on this thing being financially successful though (in my opinion), but here it is and it does look nice:

I might add that BMW may not be happy about this name, as they used to build a partially-enclosed IC scooter called the C-1 (which never sold well) and they also built a single EV prototype using their C-1 chassis and the Vectrix power train a few years ago. Their lawyers may come a-knocking one day.    :o

This is from Lit Motors which is HQ'd in "the bay area of California." 

Check out their site. (http://litmotors.com/)

They also have an interesting looking cargo scooter.
