Newest Form of Green Transport: the Electric Uno Motor Bike, Two Wheels Side-by-Side
The inventor says riding this bike is easy, you just have to learn to trust it.
18 year old Canadian Ben Gulak has spent a lot of time developing this motorbike, which resembles a unicycle in every way, except that it has two wheels, side by side.
How is it balanced? Ben uses gyroscopic technology to keep the bike upright, and it responds only to body movements. Lean forward, the faster you go, lean backwards and you slow down, and to either side, you get the idea.
It isn’t the speediest bike around, reaching 25 mph on a full charge, which lasts about 2.5 hours. A larger motor, however, would increase the speed, but how fast would you want to go on a unicycle?
When you’re not riding, just plug it into a wall socket and you’re ready to go. It isn’t known what type of batteries are used.
Ben is hoping an investor likes his idea and will help him put it into full production.
this is cool but I bet it cost 2000
Ps I poste this on my iPod touch
I like the idea but we have a problem in the UK. They wont be allowed on public areas because they dont have “brakes”!!!!
Too bad that you will look like the biggest too on the planet.
