Counter steering. This thing turns like a motorcycle, it's the only way (AFAIK) to turn a two lined wheeled vehicle at speed. It's not a Can-Am.

- barrkel 14y agoIt has a steering wheel. Can you imagine counter-steering with a steering wheel? Swerving to avoid something on the road? Gyros would greatly reduce agility if they were not deeply tied into the steering, so I wonder if the steering isn't a direct mechanical linkage.
- Adirael 14y agoNot sure, maybe. I think they'll be trying to target people who likes MCs but are too afraid to hop in one, so it would make sense to have the counter steering mechanically done instead of giving you the full control... I also couldn't find anything about speed and power.
- a-priori 14y agoI presume that it's actually a fly-by-wire (drive-by-wire?) system where the steering wheel directs a controller to 'do the right thing' with a combination of steering and gyro changes, rather than directly controlling the front wheel as in a normal motorcycle.
