But what if the bike could stand up by itself and would take "a baby elephant pushing it" to knock it over?

It's a piece of shit and I would not ride IN one ... but if it runs on gyroscopes to keep it up - how well does it lean into corners ??? Would it take "a baby elephant" to make it lean?

how do you get your knee down?
Is it a bike or a two wheeled car, it enclosedcan't be a bike.
Now with some tuning to allow a degree or 10 of lean, loose the roof, I can imagine this in the 2014 Goldwing, its got airbags already so why not?

That customer rides a GS... what could be more comfortable?
Interesting tech tho. Sounds like it will be app enabled, so combine that with self drive and could it fetch you and valet park itself?

Perhaps the faster it goes, the gyros would disengage and you lean it around a corner like normal? But this tech takes the fun out of riding a motorcycle though...
I want more useful tech like stands that automatically retract into the body once you've put the bike into gear and extend down once you've turned off the bike, or extending mirrors that adjust according to the shoulder width of a rider so that said rider can actually see behind himself instead of his elbows.

Good tech but ive also seen a one wheel bike like a segway that transformed from 1 to 2 wheels same principle. I think things like this will take time and need to be perfected to take into account lean and conditions etc.
The human brain and our inner ears are still better than programming and gyroscopes in my opinion. I'll stick to a real bike for now.
