Never having to deal with the fear of falling while learning to ride a two-wheeler…
Never having to take your feet off the two-wheeler to avoid a sudden road bump..
Never having to feel out of balance every time you reduce the speed of your two-wheeler..
Reversing a two-wheeler like a car!
You don’t have to imagine this anymore as the AutoBalancing two-wheeler technology is now a reality in the two-wheeler world. Welcome to freedom, welcome to Liger X-The world’s first AutoBalancing e-scooter.
The first verifiable claim for a practically used bicycle was from a German in 1817.
Ever since, two-wheelers have been quite an intriguing method of transportation for many.
Cut to the 21st century, two-wheelers are globally the most widely used means of transportation, and more so in developing countries. They are relatively easy on the pocket, to own as well as to operate. They are convenient and can traverse the narrowest of lanes. For short distance commutes they make perfect sense.
Yet, it is fascinating how after attaining a threshold speed which a 2-wheeler attains, stability especially at low speeds or at rest, it tends to fall. The stability at higher speeds is partly credited to the gyroscopic effect of the spinning wheels. But there is a lot more to 2-wheeler dynamics.
So what is an Autoalancing two-wheeler?
An AutoBalancing two-wheeler is simply a personal transporter consisting of two inline wheels connected to a frame. The vehicle helps you move from one place to another without having to manually balance or even put your feet down during the process. Liger is the world’s first auto-balancing scooter, powered with an innovative technology which ensures the scooter automatically comes to a standstill and remains self-balanced without any support from the rider. Liger is all set to revolutionize the two-wheeler market with this game changing technology.
How does this work?
Liger uses AI algorithms to dynamically shift the center of gravity of the vehicle to ensure that the vehicle actually stays completely balanced. This auto balancing processor collects more than 9000 data points every second from the vehicle itself and these are processed using Liger’s proprietary AI algorithms which ensure that the vehicle stays balanced when auto balancing is activated.
These data points are gathered by the AutoBalancing processor via multiple sensors placed around the scooter. The self-balancing remains enabled for up to 5-7 kmph, gradually increasing the riding comfort. The system goes on standby mode after this 7kmph.
Changing the landscape of the two-wheeler market
So, how does Liger X change the existing two-wheeler market turf? Well, in so many ways. The AutoBalancing technology ensures the scooter balances itself, as the rider can comfortably keep both feet on the scooter while riding it. An assured hassle-free riding experience for a first-time two-wheeler buyer as well as skilled experienced riders.
Some of the key benefits of AutoBalancing are:
- Feet on footboard – FootFreeStopto ride stress free, no matter how bad the traffic
- Reverse like a carwith ReverseRide – No more backpedaling when you need to reverse
- Learn2Ride mode– Learn riding a 2-wheeler confidently with Learn2Ride - which capitalizes on AutoBalancing along with limiting the speed of the vehicle to ensure anyone can learn riding in a controlled and safe manner
So many benefits with one technology, you never have to look back at riding the conventional scooter anymore. If you think this technology can make your commute a breeze, read more about how Liger X can make all the difference here.

While the 2023 Auto Expo saw multiple showcases by major manufacturers such as the Maruti Suzuki EVX, Hyundai Ioniq 6 and the Kia EV9, a mumbai-based startup, called Liger Mobility , gave patrons something truly special. The company unveiled the Liger X and Liger X+ scooters at the expo, which are claimed to be the world’s first auto-balancing e-scooters. This means that the scooters can come to a standstill and remain self-balanced without any support from the rider.
The concept is truly a game changer and TOI Auto got in touch with the founders to know more about the auto-balancing scooters and how they were developed, what makes it work? Liger Mobility, co-founder, Vikas Poddar says , “Liger uses AI algorithms to dynamically shift the Center of Gravity of the vehicle in order to ensure that the vehicle stays balanced. The AutoBalancing processor collects over 9,000 data points per second from the vehicle, which are processed using our proprietary AI algorithms which ensure that the vehicle stays balanced when AutoBalancing is activated.”
The data points are gathered by the AutoBalancing processor via multiple sensors placed around the scooter. Their proprietary algorithm uses the data and leverages gyroscopic principles to ensure the vehicle remains upright. Furthermore, the self-balancing remains enabled for up to 5-7 kmph, increasing riding comfort. The system goes on standby mode after the 7 kmph threshold and reactivates at lower speeds.
Poddar added, “We have tested our AutoBalancing tech for over 10,000 hours including lab and real world conditions and various road conditions. The liquid cooled battery pack is developed in collaboration with a local partner, and their packs have been tested for over 30,000 kms.”
Production for the Liger X and the Liger X+ is expected to go underway by the end of 2023 at the company’s plant in Aurangabad. “We are looking at a capacity of 20,000 auto-balancing vehicles in the first year, which will be ramped up to a capacity of 100,000 units annually in the subsequent 2 years.” Poddar told TOI Auto.
In terms of physical architecture, the Liger scooters get a tubular steel frame, front telescopic suspension and dual springs at the rear. It has a seat height of 765 mm and the electric drivetrain gets a 12-inch hub motor offering a top speed of 65 kmph. Poddar tells us that the liquid cooled battery pack in the Liger X offers a real world range of 60 kms and the bigger pack in the Liger X+ offers 100 km range. Another difference in the models is that the lower variant gets an LCD display and the X+ gets a 5-inch TFT screen. Both the Liger X and X+ are OTA update enabled which will help maintain the AutoBalancing algorithms and constantly optimise the vehicle control unit and related operating systems.

Auto Balancing technology enables the scooters to balance automatically enhancing rider safety, comfort and convenience compared to any other scooter available globally.
New Delhi: The Mumbai-based engineering and technology company Liger Mobility has unveiled Liger X and Liger X+ , the world’s first AutoBalancing electric scooters. This technology enables the scooters to balance automatically enhancing rider safety, comfort and convenience compared to any other scooter available globally.
Both the scooters were unveiled on Day 1 of Auto Expo 2023. The AutoBalancing technology enables a host of industry-first features like: Feet on footboard – FootFreeStop to ride stress free even in crowded traffic; Reverse like a car with ReverseRide – No more backpedalling for reversing; Learner mode – Learn riding a 2-wheeler confidently with Learn2Ride - which capitalises on AutoBalancing along with limiting the speed of the vehicle to ensure anyone can learn riding in a controlled and safe manner; and Over-the-air updates (OTA) – The vehicle keeps getting better with time.
The AutoBalancing System is intended to address the need for balancing at low speeds or when the vehicle is stationary. At higher speeds, a 2-wheeler is inherently stable, so the AutoBalancing feature goes on standby. Rider also has control to manually activate and deactivate AutoBalancing according to the requirement even at lower speeds.
A conference that will bring together technocrats and top industry leaders to discuss and debate
Vikas Poddar, co-founder of Liger Mobility, added, “India is amongst the world’s largest two-wheeler markets by volume and also the most dynamic and diverse. With the Government’s thrust towards adoption of electric vehicles, and the increasing awareness amongst the Indian consumers, the Indian E2W market is already expanding at an unprecedented pace. Liger X and Liger X+, with the unique AutoBalancing technology, promise to further catalyse this electric revolution. This is the start of an amazing journey, and we believe our technologies have the potential to form the foundation for advanced two-wheelers of the future.”
Liger Mobility’s Liger X and Liger X+ will be available in 5 exciting colourways -Grey, Polar White, Blue, Titanium and Red. Both variants will have a top speed of 65 kmph, while the Liger X will deliver a range of 60 kms, Liger X+ promises a range of 100 kms.
