Get set to witness Honda’s self-balancing e-motorcycle at the Tokyo Motor Show

Self-driving concept bike

It's an exciting time to be in for auto enthusiasts. Every week we are introduced to groundbreaking technology that once seemed impossible. Now, it just sees to be a part of routine reality.
At this year's Tokyo Motor Show, Honda will be showcasing a self-balancing and self-riding motorcycle concept. Yes, it is the second display of the same technology that was earlier introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show.
This time though, the technology will receive a future-oriented platform as it will use the NC700's frame but the chassis will hold an electric motor instead.

The bike will also come with a rear-facing radiator and an open-panel battery. The bike is essentially shaft-driven with a single-sided swingarm. Unlike all the other self-balancing bikes introduced by various automakers so far, this is the only one that runs on robotics instead of gyroscopes, much like the Honda Asimo robot and Uni-Cub mobility scooter.
It is an amazing concept for people who are fearful about balancing a heavy bike; those who are too young or too old for it. It really takes away a lot of the anxiety that a new learner faces while riding a bike as the bike balances itself through the handlebars at low speeds.
With the auto industry taking the e-route and the best of technology being shot out of a cannon, our streets might end up looking revolutionarily different in a few years from what they do now.
