Facebook Electric Two-wheeler In The Works!

• The platform could be used for electric motorcycles or scooters.

• It features two electric motors, but the power output has not been revealed yet.

• The platform also features self-balancing capabilities.

You might have heard about Apple venturing into electric mobility, but it's not the only Silicon Valley-based tech conglomerate which is keen about e-vehicles. Facebook has jumped on the bandwagon too and the company has filed a patent under the name 바카라�Self-Balancing Robotic Motorcycle바카라�. Now, don바카라�t get your hopes high. Because the chances of this bike turning up to be like the Lightning LS-218 or the Harley-Davidson LiveWire are bleak.

The image seems to be a platform of some sort, which could be used in the future for a range of electric two-wheelers. What Facebook decides to do with this platform is yet to be confirmed. So, for the time being, let바카라�s dig into the other details, shall we? As per the patent, the platform is electric and features two-wheel-drive systems and two-wheel-steer.

The unique platform gets two electric motors that transfers power to the wheels via a belt drive. However, technical details about the battery are yet to be revealed. One of the most intriguing features of this platform is that the wheels can be turned 360-degrees. This is somewhat similar to the concept tyre which Goodyear had showcased a few years back. Rather than turning the bike (or scooter), the tyres will swivel, which could help the rider while parking in a really tight spot. Another fascinating feature of this platform is that it is self-balancing, just like Honda바카라�s concept bike that was showcased at the 2017 Tokyo motor show.

The patent says that this platform 바카라�can have a multitude of applications바카라�. So, there바카라�s a possibility that it might be an electric scooter or an electric motorcycle. However, this platform is still at a very early stage of development and we don바카라�t think that Facebook would showcase it this year.
