Do you remember the self-balancing motorcycle that Honda showed off at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in 2017? It's like having a long foot, and it won't fall down without any support.
Now, 5 years later, Honda's latest unfallen motorcycle is once again unveiled.
A new self-balancing system called Riding Assist 2.0 is used, which is a big change from the first version.
The previous motorcycle used steering to assist in balance, so it also intervened when the rider was turning, which in turn affected vehicle handling. However, the new system uses a motor to control the left and right positions of the swingarm, which is better balanced at low speeds, while also reducing the sense of intervention, and the rider is completely unaffected by the balance system when driving at normal speed.
Moreover, this time it is based on the Honda NM4 Vultus, and although it weighs about 34 kilograms more than the previous car, it still stands there as steady as Tarzan without external support.
Even if you shake it hard, it won't fall.
When riding it at a red light, you don't have to stop and take it off, just like sitting in a car.
Turning the handlebars left and right will not fall.
Other than that, it's no problem to let go of your hands.
Even, the hands and feet are raised and still stand in the same place.
It is worth mentioning that it is capable of smooth turning at an ultra-low speed of 2 km / h.
You can also easily reverse without touching your feet.
Of course, the most convenient thing is to park, do not use the foot pedal bracket, get out of the car and go.
According to reports, Honda has set a goal, that is, to zero the number of traffic fatalities in the brand's two- and four-wheeled vehicles in 2050.
Although the system is still some distance away from being launched in mass production, it also proves that it is trying to make motorcycles more convenient and safe.
Innovator Jun feels that the motorcycle has become like this, it is simply a tumbler, which may be a good choice for novices.
