Lit Motors: Super-shrinking the city car

One company wants to reinvent urban transportation by developing a fully enclosed, two-wheeled electric vehicle that puts less car and more people on the road.

Look around a city at peak traffic time and you’ll probably notice that most gridlocked cars contain only one person, despite having seating for four and space for their luggage. One option is ride-sharing schemes, which aim to have fewer cars and more people on the streets. There is a problem, according to Daniel Kim, Founder and CEO of Lit Motors: “Very few people actually like to carpool.”

His company’s approach is different: shrink the car. Imagine if you could cut the size of a car in half, you could fit twice as many cars onto the streets, and into parking spaces. “We want to put less car on the road, and more people,” he says.

The solution that the San Francisco-based company hopes to roll out looks like a hi-tech, streamlined egg on two wheels. The C-1 is a fully enclosed, all-electric vehicle that is a motorcycle in all but name. It has a top speed of over 100mph (160kph), and should be able to travel up to 200 miles between charges. Acceleration should be respectable at 0-60mph (0-100kph) in less than 6 seconds –more than enough to beat most cars away from the lights.

“What we’re doing is taking the safety and the comfort of a car, but integrating that with the romance, the efficiency, and the thrill, of a bike,” says Kim. “That still preserves the elements of freedom and independence that commuters today demand.”
