Saw this on another board: _________________________ http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-gadget/uno-the-electric-unicycle-segway-hybrid Uno website ![[Linked Image]](http://media.techeblog.com/images/unohybrid_1.jpg) The "Uno" by Ben J. Poss Gulak is "an electric vehicle that uses a similar sort of microgyro-motor system as the Segway, but with two gyros: one for forward and back, and one for turning." Click here for first picture in gallery.
Its got just one control - a power switch - and everything else is done by leaning, which must make for one hell of an adrenaline-packed ride. It's the culmination of a number of vehicle projects by Ben, and uses electric propulsion for eco-friendliness

Those gyros better be quick if you have to stop in a hurry! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

Chuck Norris can do a wheelie on a unicycle. I bet he could do a wheelie on that too.
I just want to tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.

Chuck Norris doesn't even need a unicycle. He can levitate.
