BMW Motorrad unveiled its Motorrad Vision Next 100, a self-balancing motorcycle on Tuesday. According to the German maker the motorcycle is the future.




The Vision Next 100 prototype is a zero emission bike having self-balancing wheels, which can stand upright even when the motorcycle is at a complete halt. Going by the company’s claims on stability, it will allow riders to ride without a helmet.




Edgar Heinrich, the Design Director of BMW’s motorcycle division said, “ Its self-balancing system will help protect the rider at any time. Any late reaction from the driver will trigger and the vehicle will balance out.”


“In the future, motorcycle riders will be able to enjoy riding without protective gear”.




Many countries mandate the protective gear and self-balancing technology is still in the developmental stage -- if the latest concept vehicle becomes a reality, it likely won't be before 2030.
