The C-1 is a proposed fully-electric and fully-enclosed self-balancing motorcycle

Different versions of the C-1 will be available for different markets. The model aimed at First World countries will have an 8-10 kilowatt-hour battery pack, while a model intended for developing nations will be rated at about 4-6 kWh. The vehicle will incorporate electric hub motors in both wheels, at least one of those motors being a high-performance Remy HVH unit. The top speed should be at least 120 mph (193 km/h), with driving range for the higher-end model expected to sit at around 150 to 220 miles (241 to 354 km) per charge, depending on the exact size of the battery.

How long do they take to charge? Would I need to book an overnight hotel room every 150 miles?

I thought when at rest it had feet that dropped down?

Or do they give out a model to hold it upright with each C1?
