We’re thrilled to share a little more about our long-anticipated breakthrough that marks a major step forward for Lit Motors.

As many of you know by now, we’ve been working tirelessly on laying the foundation for safety on this transformational vehicle of the future. Making what’s possible a reality on our self-balancing vehicle platform. And now, that vision is coming into sharper focus. Last week at ARPA-E, we hit a major milestone: our proprietary control model successfully validated our dynamic vehicle platform, built from a clean-sheet design, using a pair of custom-designed subscale gyros.

Why is this so exciting? The controls running on our embedded system are not just functional—they’re production-facing, laying the groundwork for unparalleled performance in efficiency and safety on the road. If you are reading this, you are among the first to know about this technical moon shoot approaching escape velocity. Tell your friends and celebrate this moment with us. 

This is a very big deal for our team and you, a fellow innovator. Our original driving prototype was groundbreaking at the time, but it had a technical ceiling, particularly in terms of control and thus performance. What we’ve achieved now removes those ceilings. With this platform, and with the coming integration of our augmented steering, our self-balancing 2-wheel vehicle will have the responsiveness, precision, and scalability required to meet the demands of everyday driving.

This milestone sets us up well to continue down our planned path towards commercialization and the realization of our vision. The EV market has matured, charging infrastructure is expanding, and personal mobility is being reimagined. Lit Motors now has the tools, the talent, and the timing to bring a transformative vehicle to market.

With our current team and momentum, we’re in the strongest position yet to build something truly revolutionary.

🎥 While we're on the topic of team, we wanted to share an interview with Brian Underhill, one of our controls engineers, talking about his time at Honeywell and why he's so excited about being part of the Lit team.
