I have a few friends who have been talking about getting a motorcycle, but I can only wonder what the creators of this bike were thinking?
Created by 18-year-old Ben J. Poss Gulak, it is dubbed an electric unicycle. Operation of the 54.4 kg (120 lb) machine is simple, in fact it’s so simple there are no controls except for an on-off switch. To go forward you simply push your body weight forward to tilt the machine. To back up, just lean back on the seat to tilt it backwards and back it goes. The farther you lean, the faster it accelerates. The gyro tells the ECU how much to accelerate and that in turn delivers the proper amount of current to the electric motors, one for each wheel.
Sounds like you operate it sort of like a segway…interesting
