The C-1 Electric Motorcycle

The C-1 Electric Motorcycle was created by Lit Motors, Inc. for those who are infatuated with the idea of motor bikes but too afraid to ride one. The C-1 has an enclosed frame, seats two and is balanced by gyroscopes.
The C-1 Electric Motorcycle can hit a top speed of 120 mph and needs to be recharged after an impressive 200 miles. The bike seats two although the second person looks to be somewhat squished in the concept photos. 
Several gyroscopes placed on the underside of the vehicle would help balance it at stops and in the event of an accident. Lit Motors’ C-1 would also have H2V, H2C, V2I and V2V connectivity to provide drivers with real-time information on weather and traffic conditions.

Lito Sora Electric Motorcycle


It took cues from Bobber and Street Fighter bikes to create the Lito Sora Electric Motorcycle ($44,000).
Built from the ground-up as an electric superbike, the Sora sports the world's first electric motorcycle seat, letting ride in a low position on the highway, then move the seat higher for more aggressive riding. 

Other features include an integrated GPS system and touch screen, high-quality suspension components, a regenerative braking system, an on-board charging port and sealed, lockable storage compartment, carbon fiber fairing and an aluminum chassis, a CVT transmission that helps the Sora move from 0-60 in roughly four seconds on its way to a top speed of 120 mph, and a unique notification system that emails you when it's done charging and ready to ride.
