KATHMANDU: Technology startup OMOWAY has unveiled the OMOWAY OMO X electric motorcycle and announced that the model has entered mass production at its production plant in Jakarta, Indonesia.
The company describes it as the world’s first mass-produced self-balancing electric motorcycle.
The bike is built on OMOWAY’s “OMO-ROBOT” architecture, a system that integrates sensors, onboard computing, and stabilization hardware to help the motorcycle maintain balance even at very low speeds or when stationary.
The key technology behind the system is a Control Moment Gyroscope (CMG), a stabilization device commonly used in satellites and spacecraft. By adjusting angular momentum, the gyroscope helps keep the motorcycle upright without relying entirely on rider balance.
According to the company, the system could make motorcycles easier to handle for beginners and improve safety in challenging riding conditions.
The OMO X also includes active safety features such as wet-surface slip prevention, curve assistance, and emergency obstacle avoidance using its sensor and computing system.
The motorcycle has already received a 2026 iF Design Award ahead of its commercial launch.
OMOWAY plans to open pre-orders for the OMO X in Indonesia in late April 2026, with the official market launch scheduled in Jakarta in late May. Pricing and full specifications are expected to be announced closer to the launch date.
