Honda concept lauded

Honda's recently unveiled 'Honda Riding Assist' concept bike has received swag of awards at the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show, winning the event's 'Best Innovation' and 'Best Automotive Technology' awards and Popular Mechanics magazine's 'Editors' Choice Award'.

The fully functioning motorcycle utilises Honda's robotics technology to create a self-balancing bike that is far less likely to topple over at slow speed or at a standstill.

Honda says its aim is ultimately to make motorcycling more fun. It adopted the technology originally used in its UNI-CUB personal mobility device to develop the concept motorcycle, which sees the bike's steering geometry radically alter once its speed has dropped past a certain threshold.
