Future motorcycles: Honda self-balancing Riding Assist tech keeps bike balanced – TomoNews
LAS VEGAS — Honda has unveiled a well-balanced piece of motorcycle tech designed to help riders stay in the saddle at low speeds.
The Riding Assist concept bike has an adjustable front fork that assumes a wider angle to increase stability and its own motor attached to the front wheel, TechCrunch reported.
As anyone who’s ever tried to maneuver a big bike out of a parking lot at low speed knows, keeping balance at 2 or 3 miles an hour is one of the trickiest aspects of riding.
The bike was revealed earlier this week at tech tradeshow CES 2017 in Las Vegas. Although there’s no plans to bring it to market soon, the concept bike shows how Honda’s investment in robotics can have spin-off benefits for its vehicles.
The technology behind the Riding Assist bike was honed in the development of both Honda’s humanoid Asimo robot and UNI-CUB scooter, according to TechCrunch.
Personal robots like Asimo are likely still a decade away from being ready to be sold to consumers.
However, the legacy technology from the development of Asimo and the UNI-CUB could help bring real improvements to Honda’s vehicles much sooner than that.

I like it but I love seeing people drop their bike on slow turns or turn arounds.
LOL don't need a helmet. Sure
ホンダのバイクを見ようと思ったら、日産リーフのCM 攻めてるねNissan
"BMW say you wont need a helmet for its motorcycle of the future". Enjoy your new face when a truck runs into you.
Honda is unique… haters gonna hate AGAIN!!!
Naja. Wir werden ja alle älter. Vielleicht kann ich mich dann mit 90 noch auf ein behinderten gerechtes Moped setzen.
This Sicks. It should be more done against crashes and fatal injuries.
Future making Japanese 🤑
Honda`s bike is sexy!
bmw prevents bike from leaning, omg how it's possible to lean bike to far?
Nice concept for safety; but that totally takes out the whole thrill in riding a bike.
well-balanced bikes
F… electronics! I buy a motorcycle so I only drive with it and no f…. computer. I do not need a motorcycle that runs behind me, like a stu… lap dog.
The thing is for smartphone children, not for real men.
So beaty
I will buy one as a pet XD
What an amazing technology Honda has!
new tech.
nice ba
riding for snowflakes
Who cares man I just don't want
Too expensive. Retro bikes is now the rage.
HONDA WIN
Thats silly, look at the tyres, they are flat like car tyres.
I would only buy it to say to my neighbours "just got to walk my bike"
Was BMW actually irresponsible enough to suggest that this technology renders the passenger invincible by saying it eliminates the need for protective riding gear and even a helmet? Wow they must have forgotten to describe the human-soft -force field that surrounds the rider.
This is going to be over-priced and useless. Balancing on a motorcycle at low speeds is not difficult. Honda is trying to solve a problem that does not exist. Plus, how often are you going that slow to warrant the extra cost?
how much this bick
Honda looks nice, I'd give it a go. When Asimo is ready to take all our jobs, they will definitely take them all.
Hha funny bike, you can check more bikes herehttpwww.gari.pkbikes

i wana buy it i am from pakistan how 2 cntct honda
how fucking ridiculous
driverless car supporters want to ban motorcycles, bicycles, private cars, horses, only driverless taxi-cabs should be allowed
I would buy this bike and pretend that it's my very own personal decepticon.
bmw "no helmet" thing is retarded, your bike can be smart but other riders might not
Kind of defeats the purpose of two wheels, interesting though. Glad I bought Aprilia.
cool
