MISSION
The urban commute is broken—We’re here to fix It
74% of U.S. commuters drive alone, leading to wasted resources, high emissions, traffic congestion, and aggravating commute times. Conventional vehicles simply take up too much space and consume too much energy.
​
Lit Motors offers the best of both worlds: the efficiency and agility of a motorcycle with the safety and comfort of a car.
