The technology is derived from observing Honda’s ASIMO Robot. It is a two-legged humanoid that can dance.

It is important to mention here that if the system is turned off the bike will topple if the rider takes his hand off the steering but if the system is on the bike with stand unaided.

In my opinion, the self-serving electric bike concept is excellent as the technology used on the bike is different from what the motorcycle is making companies are using to develop their self-stabilizing bike. The companies are focusing on using large gyroscopes to stabilize their bikes.

The main point here is that if you are a beginner or have a fear of failing over from a heavy bike, then this new self-stabilizing motorbike will ensure to release you from these kinds of anxieties and worries.

The bike is still a concept, and the Japanese automaker has not hinted when the bike will go into production and hit the roads. I hope the bike goes to production from concept stage.
