UnoCycle single-wheel bike just might be real

You've seen the Noah, marveled at the Embrio
— isn't it time you saw a one-wheeled motorcycle that might
actually be real? Witness the UnoCycle, a single-wheel, single-rider
(please don't test that limit) vehicle that appears to be based on
gyroscopic tech similar to a Segway and, more importantly, has
photographic evidence of its existence. Of guys riding it and
everything.



Still in development, the Uno's top speed is 15 mph, but the
inventor, Ben Gulak, suspects it could go as high as 40. That's no
Harley, but it's faster than a Segway, and remember this is a
battery-powered machine that you never need to fill up. Gulak says he's
getting lots of interest lately — we hope he invests a little of
his incoming finances into a less-skeletal website.
