Latest technology: Uno, the self balancing motorcycle…

Posted on April 28th, 2008 by Admin Staff in Auto Tech, Gadgets, Technology

Remember the MonoTracer? Well here’s another vehicle classed within the motorcycle category but an entirely different concept! The Uno, designed by the 18-year old Ben J. Poss Gulak and his team is a self-balancing motorcycle that uses a pair of gyroscopes to constantly keep its rider upright. This means it only needs a set of wheels placed together and not like any motorcycle you’ve seen. It may not look really easy to ride but apparently it’s just controlled by an on/off switch and all you need to do to accelerate is lean forward. If you lean back, it reverses too – there’s something normal motorcycles can’t do!

The one-of-a-kind motorcycle was recently demonstrated at the 2008 National Motorcycle Show in Toronto, Canada.

  • I can't say I like the style of the motorcycle, it just looks kind of weird. It reminds me of a yo-yo. But I guess it was only a matter of time before someone used the technology from the Segway for other vehicles.
