Those days are not far when gadgets of futuristic movies are researched and built. Let it be Star Wars' light saber, Tron's legacy light bike and Batman's Bat mobile, All of them have been made into reality.So did the self-balancing bike from Honda.
Honda has come up with a self-balancing bike which can even ride itself. The catch here is it doesn't use a heavy gyroscope, Instead uses Honda's new Honda riding assist technology which is derived from Asimo robot. Steer by wire system helps the bike to steer electronically and it disengages the manual steering when the speed is less than 3mph. The system senses swings and lean angles at thousand times per second to counteract any chances of tipping. It can also lower the center of gravity to improve stability by lowering the angle of the fork. Woah! Isn't the bike cool?
But the question is who would want to spoil the experience of riding the bike by automating everything. Honda's representative says this technology will only be viable for older people who just want to relax and let it go. More or less like auto-transmission tech in the car. Well, we hate auto transmission too.
