honda baiku by nacho alfonso takes shape as a self-balancing electric scooter standing on a single wheel. the vehicle utilizes gyroscope and accelerometers sensors enabling it to balance itself. the motorcycle features a movable flat seat that can be retracted into the frame sparing space while not in use.

furthermore, baiku’s rectangular-shaped front includes LED array lights providing a clear view on nightly trips. meanwhile, a long display spans from the top section to the lower chassis. the top part reveals all the important information such as speed, temperature, navigation, while the sloped section function as a remote control for the user’s connected smartphone.
