There's a BMW C1 crash test video...
http://www.youtube.c...tch?v=MchgrIV9EBs - I saw one of those (the scooters, not the crash) in Budapest. They look neat. Wouldn't want to be in a crash in one, though.
I dunno about one for the Lit C-1. Seems early for that. There's more about the C-1 in a Wired story from May - http://www.wired.com...05/lit-motors-c1/ HTH. Cheers, Scott. |

Leaning. The Wired story says +/- 45 degrees.
