Honda’s latest riding assist motorcycle which has a self-balance recently won three awards at the Consumer Electronics Show 2017 in Las Vegas. With this motorcycle, the chances of falling from it are very low almost equal to zero.

According to Wheels, the concept of Honda’s Riding Assist self-balancing motorcycle won even three awards at the Consumer Electronics Show 2017, in Las Vegas, Nevada. This motorcycle won the best of Consumer Electronics Show 2017 Best Innovation as well as Best Automotive Technology awards judged by Engadget who is the official partner of the Best of Consumer Electronics Awards. Honda’s Riding Assist self-balancing motorcycle also won the Popular Mechanics magazine’s Best of Consumer Electronics Show Editors’ Choice Awards.

In a global debut, Honda unveiled its Riding Assist technology which leverages Honda’s robotics technology to create a self-balancing motorcycle that greatly reduces the possibility of falling over even while the motorcycle is at rest. Rather than relying on gyroscopes, which are adding a great deal of weight and alter the riding experiences as announced by other companies, Honda’s Riding Assist is incorporating the technology originally developed for the company’s UNI-CUB personal mobile device.

With Honda’s latest motorcycle everyone would want to know how to ride a motorcycle and everyone would want to own one. This motorcycle features a system which is called Riding Assist. This system autonomously adjusts the steering and the angle of the front fork to keep it upright by making thousands of often imperceptible adjustments every second. Instead of gyroscopes, this motorcycle is using electric motors, disconnecting the handlebars and coordinating their movement to its operation at speeds under 3mph.

Also, this motorcycle has an electric motor in the front wheel hub that allows it to move by itself so you could order it to come pick you up, Fox Sports reported. The technology appears to be feasible for production and it will probably be integrated into any type of motorcycle.
