Prototype and expensive motorcycles are self-balancing now.

The tech always seems to come.

Even so, they’re still dangerous. No one in car crazy America is going to put their kids on an Apple motorcycle and run through rush hour traffic where everyone is watching TikTok videos while driving. Even the wind noise, debris hitting you, and weather considerations alone make it a no-go. Losing a wheel usually means going down. 99% of people strongly value that they will walk away from a crash fine with great probabilities. That simply cannot be said of 2 wheeled vehicles like it can be said of crumple zone air bag equipped 4 wheeled vehicles.

I’d definitely get one though.

Unless the cars carrying the TikTokers are Volvo or Apple cars monitoring the driver, or driving itself.

All motorcycles are self balancing.

Up to a point.

Try letting off the throttle on a sport bike in a turn and see how well it works.

Please don't actually do this.
