The DC100 can also do a slow reverse when you inevitably drive into an awkward situation. It also can detect angle from the ground, which enables hill-start assist and regenerative braking on a mild automated basis for downhill ranges, which can help recharge the battery while also avoiding an out-of-control rampage down the buffeting slopes of, say, San Francisco. "Using EPS and six-axis IMU, the DC100 will be able to balance itself," read the official Da Vinci website. This could mean electronic power steering. Taking a more creative route, the Da Vinci website commands you to "[i]magine your motorcycle as your jogging companion."To get more news about DC100, you can visit davincimotor.com official website.

Notably, the motorcycle will feature app-enabled remote control, which means you could throw on your riding gear anywhere, and then signal your bike when you're ready to be picked up. This isn't, strictly speaking, impossible, but it's breathtaking to learn these enhancements are happening to a production motorcycle. Most intriguing: the DC100 will be feature open-source capabilities, which means users and creative software developers may "develop and share new features" to the vehicle. But while this litany of high-performance and futuristic features could set anyone's eyes spinning with envy, it's also important to imagine how terrifying it might be for a new program from a complete stranger to seize control of your steering, motor, and the trajectory of your powerful new electric bike.
The Defender is to Land Rover what the Wrangler is to Jeep: It’s the iconic core identity for the brand, and, ironically, it isn’t currently sold in the U.S. The DC100 and DC100 Sport (a canvas-roof trim) point to the future, with fancy off-roading tech such as sonar technology that measures water depth and sensors that calculate whether or not an obstacle is traversable.
