Powered with the powerful, patented gyroscopic stability system, the electronically-controlled C-1 operates using Control Moment Gyroscopes (CMGs), which produce thousands of ft-lbs of torque. The car controls these gyros, which allow it to make its way sleekly in and out of narrow turns and stay upright when faced with a collision. The C-1 is a revolutionary innovation in the industry, creating new standards of car interface and safety on a two-wheeled platform.
Let’s take a look at its features in more detail:
Aerodynamic Design
The dynamic C-1 is designed to provide the ultimate efficiency required for high-speed travel. Influenced by Scandinavian design, the exterior of the C-1 is both simple and approachable. This allows you the comfort of a compact ride and the thrill of high speed travel. Its expansive glass, subtle curves and softened volumes make it desirable and highly functional.
Freedom of a Motorcycle
You no longer have to endure those horrid traffic jams that last for hours. You can make your way through a narrow cross and escape the situation at once. Despite compromising your comfort, the C-1 allows you to cut through the crowds at the speed and luxury of a motorcycle.
Comfort of a Car
The fully-enclosed design of the C-1 allows you both luxury and protection of a modern car, minus all the extra space that forces you to stop at narrow cross-ways and get caught up in the nastiest of traffic jams. It is fully equipped with all the modern amenities that make it lavishly comfortable, for instance a premium sound system, lavish seating and climate control.
Car-like Intuitiveness
The car-like interface of the powerful C-1 allows incredible intuitiveness to the rider because the familiarity of structure makes it an easy and convenient ride, much like a conventional car. You will not have to face any weight shifting problems. If you find it easy to drive a car, you will absolutely adore driving the C-1.
1+1 Configuration
This is your ideal solo car that allows you to travel smartly and safely, exclusively designed to help you go about your daily chores and task, with room for one more passenger. In addition, for a compact car, the C-1 is impressively spacious.
Connectivity
This dynamic ride will feature smart phone and cloud connectivity, an innovation that is unparalleled in the industry.
In-Hub Motors
Powered by high-torque in-hub electric motors that save space, it provides a responsive driving experience. The C-1 regenerates energy while braking. It does so by using a KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System), which stores up the energy kinetically in the gyro flywheels.
Safety of a Car
In addition to its very own gyro stability system, the C-1 has all the safety features of a conventional car, including multiple airbags, seat belts and a steel-reinforced chassis.
100% Electric
Powered by a small 10 kWh battery pack, the C-1 is a 100% electric ride that can travel up to 200 miles per charge. Make no mistake, this ride is ready to hit the freeway at the top speed of 100+mph, and an acceleration of 0-60 in six seconds. [Lit Motors]
Startup
A startup or start-up is a company or project undertaken by an entrepreneur to seek, develop, and validate a scalable business model. While entrepreneurship refers to all new businesses, including self-employment and businesses that never intend to become registered, startups refer to new businesses that intend to grow large beyond the solo founder. At the beginning, startups face high uncertainty and have high rates of failure, but a minority of them do go on to be successful and influential. Some startups become unicorns; that is privately held startup companies valued at over US$1 billion.
Actions
Startups typically begin by a founder (solo-founder) or co-founders who have a way to solve a problem. The founder of a startup will begin market validation by problem interview, solution interview, and building a minimum viable product (MVP), i.e. a prototype, to develop and validate their business models. The startup process can take a long period of time (by some estimates, three years or longer), and hence sustaining effort is required. Over the long term, sustaining effort is especially challenging because of the high failure rates and uncertain outcomes. Having a business plan in place outlines what to do and how to plan and achieve an idea in the future. Typically, these plans outline the first 3 to 5 years of your business strategy.
Design principles
Models behind startups presenting as ventures are usually associated with design science. Design science uses design principles considered to be a coherent set of normative ideas and propositions to design and construct the company's backbone. For example, one of the initial design principles is "affordable loss".
