    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

    Sorry, I am going with "That's just Stupid"......balance, turning, and stopping has to be an issue.

    rofl.... crotch rockets are some of the most uncomfortable bikes ever... the only reason you ride is for the speed & image. this has neither.

    ergo, concept is pointless. :P

    why can't someone design a cool-looking electric two-wheeler? all they do is scooters, segweys, etc.... FAIL!
