Liger Mobility : Indian Startup Develops India’s First Self Balancing Scooter
India is one of the countries where two-wheelers are still used by the majority of the people. Due to a variety of factors, the majority of road accidents also include a two-wheeler. Authorities have developed a number of laws and regulations to make things simpler for two-wheeler riders over the years, yet accidents still happen. Two-wheeler users now have a solution thanks to a group of IIT alumni. This solution will revolutionise the way people look at two-wheelers and how they ride them. They created India’s first self-balancing scooter.About The Scooter
Bright ideas has posted the video on its YouTube page. As previously stated, the scooter was created by a group of IIT graduates who sought to make two-wheeler riding significantly safer. The self-balancing scooter was the first thing that sprang to mind since keeping balance on a two-wheeler may be difficult for certain individuals, and if you are not confident enough on a two-wheeler, accidents might occur. Before arriving at the version seen in the video, the group conducted research and produced various prototypes. The scooter in the video is also a working prototype. While riding the scooter, the rider may effortlessly keep both feet on the ground. The video does not go into great depth about the technologies employed in this scooter. Even without a rider, the scooter can maintain its equilibrium. The onboard technology ‘Feet Always’ assists riders in keeping their foot on the floorboard at all times, reducing the chance of slipping downNotable Features
The crew has been working on this scooter for several years, and the configuration appears to be nearly ready for production. The self-balancing scooter makes moving easier and provides impact protection. In the event of a collision, the scooter will automatically counterbalance, preventing a fall that would occur on a two-wheeler. Any petrol or electric scooter may be fitted with the self-balancing system. An electric scooter is the one shown in the video. Apart from the self-balancing feature, the scooter also has an innovative feature that allows it to autonomously exit a parking lot by only speaking a command.About The Startup
As previously said, the scooter seen above is a prototype, and the team behind it is known as Liger Mobility. Before beginning production, they are working on refining some of the other aspects of the scooter. This technology is being developed by a number of companies, including Liger Mobility. Another consideration for the crew while they worked on this project was the expense. They didn’t want to create a self-balancing scooter that is out of reach for the average person. According to the video, the cost of this self-balancing scooter will be only 10% higher than that of a standard scooter.
CARADISIAC – Commande vocale et système stabilisateur, un scooter indien bluffant

Les gros constructeurs n’ont pas l’apanage des technologies de demain. Cela peut se vérifier jour après jour avec l’apparition sur le marché de plus en plus de motos et deux-roues électriques issus de développements menés par des entreprises. Dans un autre registre, la start-up indienne Liger Mobility vient de présenter un système stabilisateur plutôt bluffant.
Le système gyroscopique est encore en cours de développement. Néanmoins, la vidéo proposée par la jeune entreprise indienne est assez étonnante, surtout quand on devine les moyens bien inférieurs de la start-up par rapport aux technologies semblables développées par Honda ou Yamaha. L’innovation technologique porte sur le système stabilisateur, ici monté sur un scooter électrique dont raffolent tant les marchés japonais. Des impulsions autocorrectrices sont transmises au châssis pour empêcher le scooter de basculer, ce qui a pour effet de le rendre particulièrement stable à l’arrêt comme en mouvement tout en n’entravant pas sa maniabilité. Liger Mobility a également incorporé sur le scooter un système permettant qu’il se gare dans une zone déterminée de façon autonome, mais surtout qu’il sorte de son emplacement à la demande de son utilisateur à l’aide d’une commande à reconnaissance vocale. Un processus révolutionnaire jusqu’ici inédit. Si le principe d’auto-stabilisation est déjà utilisé sur certains modèles de scooters en phase arrêtée, l’utilisation d’une commande vocale, couplée à ce système gyroscopique est en revanche véritablement novateur. La vidéo du système en action est impressionnante et préfigure de l’apport des technologies dans le développement des deux-roues de demain.
TIO – IndiaScooter che sta in piedi

Non è fantascienza, ma un modello realizzato dall’indiana Liger Mobility, start-up che s’è voluta lanciare nel settore delle self-balancing bike, ovvero delle due ruote in grado di restare in piedi da sé. Un’idea nata dalla necessità di porre rimedio ad un problema molto serio in India, ovvero gli incidenti mortali che hanno per vittime gli scooteristi: nella più grande repubblica democratica del mondo ogni anno sulle strade muoiono 120 persone per incidenti che coinvolgono dei motocicli. L’obiettivo della Liger Mobility era dunque quella di creare un mezzo di trasporto su due ruote che fosse più sicuro: il modello realizzato dalla casa indiana resta in perfetto equilibrio - come un ciclista in surplace - anche quando è fermo. Non solo: è dotato di un comando che gli permette di parcheggiare da solo e di muoversi verso la posizione GPS del proprietario attraverso comandi vocali. Un vero e proprio scooter del futuro.
TECHPRINCESS – Liger Mobility: ecco lo scooter elettrico che sta in piedi da solo

Quanto sarebbe bello avere uno scooter parcheggiato in uno spazio ristretto ed essere in grado di chiamarlo e farlo venire verso di sì? Quanto sarebbe bello fermarsi a un semaforo e non dover poggiare i piedi a terra per tenere lo scooter in posizione verticale? Se tutto questo sembra fantascienza, da oggi non lo è più. Infatti la startup indiana, Liger Mobility è riuscita a realizzare uno scooter sta in piedi su due ruote da solo e, inoltre, si può richiamare verso di sè una volta che viene parcheggiato. Questo tipo di tecnologia è stata provata da altri grandi produttori come Honda, ma questa è la prima applicazione che ho visto della tecnologia giroscopica utilizzata in uno scooter di medie dimensioni. Infatti la tecnologia sviluppata da Liger Mobility ha molto più senso per uno scooter piccolo piuttosto che per una moto più grande. Gli scooter devono dare la possibilità di essere manovrati in spazi ristretti e una funzione di auto-bilanciamento renderebbe questa operazione più facile che mai. Anche un leggero impatto laterale non diventerà un problema, visto che il sistema è in grado di assorbire l’urto mantenendo lo scooter in equilibrio
Giroscopio intelligente
Liger Mobility utilizza un sistema che prevede un giroscopico abbinato ad alcuni dispositivi elettronici davvero intelligenti che inviano impulsi autocorrettivi lungo il telaio per impedire allo scooter di cadere. sia con o senza pilota. Inoltre, lo scooter, una volta parcheggiato può essere richiamato verso di sé semplicemente con un comando vocale. Per il momento lo scooter sarà proposto solo per il mercato indiano. Ma di certo questa tecnologia innovativa potrebbe attrarre l’attenzione dei grandi produttori che potrebbero proporre lo stesso sistema sui propri scooter che arriveranno sui vari mercati internazionali nei prossimi anni. Secondo la startup indiana, inoltre, il sistema può essere applicato anche a scooter già in produzione.

This balancing act will amaze your friends when you call your motorbike or scooter and it automatically comes to you from its parking space. That’s a vision of the future from Indian company Liger Mobility who have developed a prototype self-balancing scooter that comes when you call it. It basically uses voice activation like Siri and it self-balances via gyroscopes controlled by microprocessors. Have a look on 10 Best Electric Scooters for Adults in 2020 that will minimise your cost of short commuting distances.
Self-balancing prototypes
It’s not dissimilar to self-balancing prototypes already developed by Honda, BMW and Yamaha. However, this scooter goes further with the ability to come when called. Apart from the carpark scenario, we can also see that this could be convenient for ageing riders or women riding in high heels who don’t want to get them dirty.
However, the Bombay start-up’s claims that it will somehow be safer seem spurious.
We’re not sure of the statistics, but we couldn’t imagine too many deaths from parking incidents or falling over when coming to a stop.
The balancing act a novel display and makes a great video, but surely the extra weight and expense of gyroscopes won’t make these self-balancing scooters and motorcycles commercially viable.
Liger Mobility think it will and say it will only increase the cost of an electric or petrol-powered scooter by 10%.
That’s 10% many might prefer to spend on protective clothing!
BIKERSINSIDER – Liger Mobility Unveils A Self-Balancing and Self-Parking Scooter!

Would it be awesome to park your scooter at a secluded space and be able to call it to come to you? What about a scooter that would sit at a stoplight without needing you to hold it upright? Well, Liger Mobility managed to create a self-balancing and self-parking scooter. Other larger companies, like Honda, tried implementing this technology. This scooter is probably the first application of such gyroscopic technology in a smaller bike. Actually, this tech is certainly more suitable for a scooter. Why is that so? Well, smaller scooters maneuver in tight spaces, and the self-balancing feature would ease up that process. Liger uses a gyroscopic device combined with some very clever circuitry to make this electric scooter work. The team that develops this bike is based in India. Also, the bike is designed with the Indian market in mind. Small scooters like this one are popular in India. This is certainly an innovative technology and something that we’re going to follow in the future. See the Liger scooter in action, in the video below!
RIDEAPART – Indian Company’s Self-Balancing Scooter Comes When You Call It

When Arthur C. Clarke said “sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic,” he probably didn’t have motorcycles in mind. This new self-balancing electric scooter from the Indian startup company Liger might be teetering on that edge, though. Unless you have a lot of experience with gyroscopic forces, this kind of thing looks like impossible science fiction. I’d be tempted to agree with you! We’ve seen this before though, from manufacturers like BMW and its self-riding GS. It is all made possible with gyroscopes controlled by microprocessors.. Note that you’ll still have to be careful with a self-balancing motorcycle or scooter like this; it will still have a “point of no return” so if you kick it hard enough while it’s parked, it will fall over. Think of the ramifications, though: a small, self-riding scooter that comes to you when you “call” it could be a great solution for city parking (protection from theft will be the next nut to crack). As it is, it will already be a great solution for riders who are losing strength as they age, or people with a disability which prevents them from riding a heavier bike, or balancing a motorcycle at all. The motorcycle-riding cohort in the United States is aging, and that is an unfortunate reality. Anything that will keep people on two wheels longer into their golden years will be a boon for the industry. Something like this scooter could also appeal to folks in a younger generation who may be intimidated by a large, heavy motorcycle. It might just be a great, friendly entrée into the sport. Unfortunately, this scooter and its team of creators are currently located in India, and their expected target market is domestic. If they find great success in their own continent, maybe we’ll see them arrive on our shores, or a larger corporation will commit to developing their own self-balancing motorcycles with more enthusiasm. The Liger scooter is not in production yet. The one in the video is a prototype. The company has not announced potential pricing yet. We’ll be keeping an eye on them, though, because this kind of magic looks like fun!

La pequeña start up Liger Mobility India ha diseñado una moto que logra mantener el equilibrio por sí sola, y que atiende a comandos de voz, pudiendo estacionar y des-estacionar de manera autómata.
Liger Mobility India es una pequeña empresa emergente, que seguramente no hayas oído, pero está logrando desarrollar conceptos que grandes multinacionales como Honda y Yamaha también andan desarrollando. El principal desarrollo tecnológico en el que están centrados desde Liger Mobility India, es nada más ni nada menos que un giróscopo instalado en un scooter eléctrico, de manera vertical, para ser sensible a las diferentes inclinaciones y así poder mandar pequeños impulsos de autocorrección a lo largo del chasis para evitar que la moto caiga a un lado o al otro. Además de lo mencionado, Liger Mobility también ha manipulado el scooter para lograr estacionar de manera autómata, y atender a peticiones por comando de voz, de modo que asiste a tu llamada totalmente sola, sin ayuda. Evidentemente esto no es ninguna novedad, de hecho ya hay vehículos Honda con este concepto y tecnología, pero no lo han aplicado a sus motos todavía.
WEBBIKEWORLD – Liger Mobility Reveals Self-Balancing and Self Parking Scooter

How cool would it be to have your scooter parked away in a tight space and be able to call out to it and have it come right up to you? How nice would it be to sit at a stoplight and not have to hold your scooter upright? Well, Liger Mobility wanted to make a scooter that could stand on two wheels by itself and park itself. The small company has succeeded. This kind of technology has been tried by other, larger manufacturers like Honda, but this is the first application I’ve seen of the gyroscopic technology used in a small bike like this. This kind of technology makes way more sense for a small scooter rather than a bigger motorcycle. Small scooters need to maneuver in tight spaces and a self-balancing feature would make that easier than ever before. Liger utilizes a gyroscopic system paired with some seriously smart electronics to make the electric scooter work. This sounds like the perfect urban mobility option to me. The team that developed it is in India. It was designed for the Indian market. According to MoreBikes, the system could even be retrofitted to older bikes. Small scooters like the one Liger fitted with its tech are popular there, and it could even be seen as a safety system for riders. This is innovative tech and something I’ll be watching in the future. Check out the video below to see it in action.
MOTOCICLISMO – DALL’INDIA ARRIVA LO SCOOTER CHE NON CADE MAI

Grazie ad un giroscopio il dispositivo della startup indiana Liger Mobility permette alllo scooter di bilanciare il suo peso e di stare in piedi da solo. Inoltre, grazie al controllo vocale, il mezzo risponde ai comandi del proprietario
La startup indiana Liger Mobility ha sviluppato un dispositivo in grado di bilanciare autonomamente il peso di uno scooter, in modo da permettere al veicolo di stare in piedi -anche da fermo- da solo. Il dispositivo autobilanciante può essere installato su qualsiasi scooter e come demo-bike è statoscelto un veicolo low cost elettrico. Il dispositivo sfrutta un giroscopio che, grazie ad alcuni sensori posti in posizione strategica che leggono in tempo reale la posizione del veicolo, mantiene lo scooter sempre verticale, sia con che senza conducente in sella. Inoltre, grazie a questo dispositivo lo scooter può rispondere ai comandi vocali del proprietario e muoversi in autonomia, per uscire ad esempio da un parcheggio in retromarcia. Il video pubblicato dalla startup indiana ci permette di capire meglio il funzionamento. Un sistema simile era già stato mostrato da Honda qualche anno, fa con il “Riding Assist” (qui sotto le foto). La differenza è che il progetto della Casa di Tokyo per stare in equilibrio non sfrutta dei giroscopi, ma fa affidamento su una tecnologia sviluppata internamente con l’UNI-CUB (un veicolo monoruota in grado di muoversi semplicemente spostando il peso del corpo e inclinandosi verso la direzione desiderata). Sfruttando i dati che riceve dai numerosi sensori, Riding Assist regola l'equilibrio tramite il peso stesso del veicolo, l’estensione e l’inclinazione della forcella e la rotazione delle ruote. Oltre a ciò, la differenza è che il dispositivo Liger è compatibile con qualsiasi scooter e, a detta dell’azienda, ha un costo limitato: la sua installazione su un veicolo ne farebbe crescere il costo solamente del 10%.
