82k Euros?! That's mad!!! No wonder these companies can't get their heads out of the gate. They're all missing the point of electric vehicles. Today anybody can build an electric bicycle in its garage for less than 1k dollars... Do for the electric vehicle what Henry Ford did for the automobile and soon your company will be listed in the Dow Jones.

One of the most important thing - Make the safety tyres that prevent a fall, automatic. It should work by sensors and it isnt very complicated

I said that too. Why have a learning curve. Install sensors to prevent accidental side tip overs. Most people that will buy that will be middle+ aged people that have money to spend. Lots will buy and even me if it has safety in mind and sensors that will make my driving more pleasant, without worrying when to put the landing gears down or up and the landing gears retract on a certain angle when turning. Sensors on speed can be done to have the Moto retract and detract those landing gears. And have a manual override for those that are more adventurous. I would want one but has to have the tech in it.

It's neccesary más production
*I'D BUY ONE* for about 20K just have the balls to get a credit or go public - you'll loose millions in the *first years* of mass production, but mass demand follows the cheap price of mass production - not the other way around
does it auto balance or does it follow over on its side if you don't have proper balance
I think it's great, but not at that price.
I love the MonoTracer, but I wish they could re-engineer the side wheels so they're not sticking out like a sore thumb when they're retracted. They could just angle as they go up and recede flatly into the body.

That's so the body isn't damaged if it falls over. Also, on its side the vehicle can be accelerated and turned in just about 10' to upright itself. Seen it done in person.
time for upgrade with honda vfr1200 engine and honda dct transmission?
The Etracer and what Peraves has done are nothing short of amazing! Lit may follow suit but has some big shoes to fill. Great to hear these inline machines can be bigger than the car market. Consider the cost of new cars, estimated at $700 a month and these machines cannot come to market soon enough for me.
Honestly, it looks pretty cool and futuristic. I'd definitely have one if money wasn't an obstacle.
is reverse included, or extra?
MONOTRACER veículo prático bonito seguro e individual. MARAVILHA. !
this looks AMAZING!!!!
This company was manufacturing the Ecomobile which is the gas powered predecessor to this. The Ecomobile had automatic outriggers that went up and down at the correct speed without the driver's input. Why would they eliminate this necessary feature of the vehicle?
2022 and still this cool vehicle that I would love to have is way too expensive. Almost $80,000 is not something one can justify for a vehicle like this. This is still a toy for rich people. Sad too because it is awesome.
Awesome video. I would love to get one of these but at the cost of around $80k? Never going to happen.
Why don't the outrigger wheels deploy automatically? I'm sure there are certain parameters that can be established for when they must be extended.

I thought that too until I drove one. In practice it is too fine a feel for computers. Haven driven the previous model(Ecomobile), it becomes second nature. You never forget to put them down. But any vehicle the requires additional training to operate, even for experienced riders, will have limited commercial success. Those mentioning a gyroscopically controlled self-righting feature I think are on the right track. There is a similar type of commuter cycle I have seen online(prototype) that does this, so maybe in the next generation from Peraves they will do this.

Speed sensor, or tilt detector? Especially, pneumatic extension would allow for rapid deployment and give a "soft" impact.

@Christopher Kuhns you realize this is going to cost $80,000, right? That's probably about $800/month. It gets just under 60 mpg equivalent. Way too expensive as far as I'm concerned.
Can’t believe the little side safety wheels aren’t automatic!

When can I get it in India? What will be the price of it in India? Make it solar/Battery/ petrol provision. Keep a hole on it 's roof. When cover of the same is open,it will function as fan and when it 's cover is closed, then it will refrain from entering rain.

that really does not matter. You have no crash structure. Even if shell survives impact your insides will actually explode/liquify as gross as it sounds. Smart Fortwo has the same problem. the structure is very well made- that does not matter from certain (not that high) speed you are still not going to survive.
how much is this vehicle... the company must mass produce in order to reach countries with bicycle as pop means of transpo, like India and Philippines. I'd certainly buy one of these if the price is reasonable... in fact, I'd probably prefer this over car...you know, fuel economy and joy of riding motorcycles.
Ok so how did they cut an r8 in 3rds but sell it as if it’s a TT

Surely the Piaggio MP3 system with two wheels at the front and a single wheel at the rear would be simpler and more stable for such a vehicle.

This is really cool. I had designed something similar a few years ago. My design had a steering wheel. A steering wheel would make it feel more like a car, but in a motorbike form factor. If you make one with a steering wheel (with power assist), I'll definitely buy it. Also if you could eventually get the price below $10,000 USD, it will sell like hot cakes, imo :)

Doesn't work. Weight and precession effects make it a danger, not a benefit. Motorcycle stability depends on the steering geometry, not gyroscope.

I wish it had more car like accelerator and brake pedals. Of course the driver legs straddling the handlebars needs to be fixed. Also, the price tag is way too high.
