    82k Euros?! That's mad!!! No wonder these companies can't get their heads out of the gate. They're all missing the point of electric vehicles. Today anybody can build an electric bicycle in its garage for less than 1k dollars... Do for the electric vehicle what Henry Ford did for the automobile and soon your company will be listed in the Dow Jones.

      I said that too. Why have a learning curve. Install sensors to prevent accidental side tip overs. Most people that will buy that will be middle+ aged people that have money to spend. Lots will buy and even me if it has safety in mind and sensors that will make my driving more pleasant, without worrying when to put the landing gears down or up and the landing gears retract on a certain angle when turning. Sensors on speed can be done to have the Moto retract and detract those landing gears. And have a manual override for those that are more adventurous. I would want one but has to have the tech in it.

    The Etracer and what Peraves has done are nothing short of amazing! Lit may follow suit but has some big shoes to fill. Great to hear these inline machines can be bigger than the car market. Consider the cost of new cars, estimated at $700 a month and these machines cannot come to market soon enough for me.

      @svisek 7 років тому +6

      I thought that too until I drove one. In practice it is too fine a feel for computers. Haven driven the previous model(Ecomobile), it becomes second nature. You never forget to put them down. But any vehicle the requires additional training to operate, even for experienced riders, will have limited commercial success. Those mentioning a gyroscopically controlled self-righting feature I think are on the right track. There is a similar type of commuter cycle I have seen online(prototype) that does this, so maybe in the next generation from Peraves they will do this.

    very cool but they arnt going to turn any tide in numbers buying into this concept, they are VERY VERY expensive and have serious issues with stability in the wheel up transition, indeed they even provide bump wheels for use during training. What might have been a bit more innovative by now instead of investing in electric versions would have been the incorporation of a tilting reverse trike front suspension system such as used by Piaggio MP3 or Yamaha. This streamliner type of configuration requires specific training to learn how to ride/lean them without dropping them. If anyone is looking to make any dent into the market the system will need to cater to the driving experience of both car and bike riders not just the racer bike types with a big bundle of cash to burn. PERAVES .. forget the fringe electric thats for 20 or 30 years into the future, Make it gas. Make it cheaper, and make it more stable so my granny can drive it and you WILL change the world.

    Of course the price will limit the sales BUT so will the two wheel design with outriggers to stay upright... It will take race car driver talent to control this thing in daily traffic without laying it down.... very limited market for this design..... a three wheel, self righting version would have a better chance of selling.
