Self Balancing Scooter for India developed by IITians will make the ride easy and safe
Self Balancing technology can be in your scooter or bike at 10% of additional cost only
Day by day the technologies are getting advance. We all had heard about the self balancing bike back in 2016 when BMW had unveiled the self balancing bike fitted with emission-less engine. The company released as part of its 100th anniversary celebrations. Again, in 2017 when Honda had shown its self balancing bike along with the Riding Assist technology. It was the concept model exhibited at CES 2017, the world’s largest consumer electronics and consumer technology tradeshow. But till now we have not seen those technology at our Indian Roads.

My Words:
The beauty of this technology is that its not gonna be old so early like any internal combustion engine (EV generation is taking over now). Petrol or Electric two-wheeler both consumers will be benefited from this technology. The cost quoted by the Company Co-founder is also nominal in the view of minimizing the two-wheeler road accident and to inhance the two-wheeler driving experience. If proper marketing is done for this technology then it will make the difference in two-wheeler market of India.
