Lit Motors’ Founder Danny Kim answers your questions of “Why has it taken so long?”

Deep Tech takes time

Last week, we released a video update covering our progress over the past year—diving into some of the major engineering milestones and development efforts. In response, many of you asked a perfectly valid question: “Why has this taken so long?” Watch this video of our CEO, Danny Kim, going over some of the aspects of what takes to develop new, deep tech.

Simply put, we’re not iterating on existing tech—we’re building something fundamentally new. The C-1 represents a first-of-its-kind vehicle: a self-balancing, fully enclosed electric two-wheeler designed for real-world use. Developing this kind of platform involves solving deeply complex challenges in vehicle dynamics, control systems, battery integration, and safety—all at once.

And we’ve been doing it with a small, dedicated team and limited resources.

We’re proud of how far we’ve come. But we’re not at the finish line yet. Our Wefunder campaign has only a few days left, and there’s still an opportunity to grow this community and push the mission forward. Visit wefunder.com/litmotors
