I thought was this was interesting
« on: November 01, 2008, 03:06:26 PM »
the uno: motorcyle meets segway
Think the Segway is just too geeky for your Born to Be Wild bad boy lifestyle? Then check out this cool new motorcycle born at the intersection of Geek Street and Hog Heaven Avenue.



The Uno is a self-balancing motorcycle that uses a pair of gyroscopes to constantly keep its rider upright.



Designed by 18-year old inventor Ben J. Poss Gulak (and built with the help of a team of bike builders and engineers), the 120-pound motorcycle is so easy to ride, its only control is a single on-off switch. To ride forward, lean forward, to reverse, simply lean back. The degree to which you lean increases or decreases your velocity. By using a pair of wheels, the bike can also make turns based on your side-to-side movements.



The one-of-a-kind motorcycle was recently demonstrated at the 2008 National Motorcycle Show in Toronto, Canada. Its current whereabouts are unknown, but I’m pretty sure you’ll recognize it if you see it coming down the road.

Now you know if either Dawg or I got our big @$$ on that bike you'd crack your side laughing at us. Since we both like you and wouldn't want you cracking any ribs I think we'll stay off it. ;D
