The Electric Unicycle Is A Retro-modern One-Wheeled Take On The Segway
Looking a little bit like a 50′s Vespa mated with a 21st century robot,
the Electric Unicycle is a lot like a Segway, except where it isn’t. It
is a gyroscope-balanced personal
mobility device with a 500W motor that can push a 160lbs man at 13mph
for up to two hours on a three hour charge. But unlike the Segway, this
one has one wheel. So while your forward and backward movements are
gyro-controlled (and serve as the throttle), your side to side movements
aren’t; you will have to have some sense of balance or you’ll fall. It
shouldn’t be that hard though, and once you get the hang of it, you’re
sure to get a lot of enjoyment
