Futuristic motorcycle won't fall down

Ever see a Weeble ride a motorcycle?
Probably not, but if you did it might look a lot like the C-1.
The all-electric bike/car hybrid being developed by California startup Lit Motors features a pair of counter-rotating gyroscopes mounted flat at the bottom of the frame that not only allow it to stand upright on two wheels when stationary, but make it nearly impossible to knock down.
The company has demonstrated the vehicle’s unique abilities with a full-scale prototype, and claims the C-1 will be able to take a hit in the side from another vehicle without falling over.
