According to the ad, the bike has got a self balancing system... wow!
But what really makes me think is that visor controlled by eye movements... what if a mosquito hit the biker's eye? ...lol...

Yeah, it isn't a very good idea for bikes... it takes a lot of practice NOT to look where you DON'T want to go... in emergencies people get tunnel vision.
I now feel good because they have a huge reflector on the front like I do with the chrome windscreen mounting hardware.....
most ladies will have a hard time with that as they are always looking around..........

My guess is that they are using something similar to the Segway to do this.
No leather, bags, windscreen, tank shift, or passenger seat. I will assume that it has front regenerative brakes. I would also like to see this with front-facing retro-rockets for added braking power. ;)

Needs bigger fenders.
