Fantastic improvement over the Segway! When they offer one that’s more “touring bike” and less “crotch rocket”, I’ll buy it. (A little storage might be nice too.)

all I can say is better than the segway

it’s a cool innovation … the critics must understand no invention is headed straight to the showroom or market .. of course it is first improved.. but we always start with the basic ..
have a nice day..:)

Yes it’s slow, yes it’s low battery life, yes it’s dangerous, but it’s a concept model, a first of its kind. Right now it would be only an hourly “play thing” and not something to seriously use. I’m sure that in the breaking system, you can “break” and being that electricity is faster than humans, the bike may rotate the seat in respect to the tires so that as you break, you are angled back to balance the rider for harder breaking and not simply flying your face forwards to the pavement and whatever it is you are breaking for. Like the segway when it came out people looked at it funny, having only one axle, and as the public opinion on them changed, so will the opinion on this. Nothing will be outstandingly perfect as a first attempt. A “Concept” model is called a concept to prove that it “CAN” be done. The goal of the project now is to improve performance (speed for some of you), and improve battery life (long distance traveling for others of you).

It isn’t as safe as a motorcycle, having only one wheel and a fully computerized balancing system to keep one upright on the two wheeled Uni-Wheel bike, however it will be lighter, smaller, compact, etc. Thus it will have even BETTER mileage with less weight to move around, easier to move around on and fit into tight spaces, compact storage, etc.

it’s just a toy with so many safety and practical design issues that Utube is the best place to see it, not the road.

If you think these things are risky you shouldn’t be driving. They are no riskier than a normal motorbike.

Amazing. It would work as a vehicle if only you could get it a decent speed.

What happens when the little sensors managing the balance go bad…you fall, maybe?
I’m not sure I’d buy one…looks risky, riding around hoping those sensors aren’t defective!

I will test it when it gets to a man speed of 100+, otherwise it is a toy……

It’s a cool idea but it really not practical. It would be very unsafe on the city streets

Perhaps the people that have something negative to say should try doing something positive as for those nice guys stop typing and start helping ak40 burner -out.

I think it’s great and all, but the battery life and speed just aren’t really good enough to become a good and daily means of transport for most people
At 3hrs and 40 mph, I’d buy it.

There is always a problem with a one wheel motorcycle: if the speed is high and you have to brake fast the whole bike will start to roll… with obvious consequences. It looks cool, but it’s not for everyday use.

It will give Segway a “run” for its money.

It’s better too cos you can sit, instead of standing.

I want to really invest to this great idea. It’s brilliant!

It is good that people are thinking of creative ideas to help the environment, though I don’t think this was a great one. It looks cool, but it sounds very dangerous and many people will get hurt, especially the way some people drive.

This is a really good idea, it looks cool!
