Pretty cool. I’m sure I’d kill myself on one, but still...pretty cool! :)

This will be a boon to the organ transplant industry.

Looks a little better than electric scooters, if given the choice between, I would go with the former. For the open country though, nothing beats a touring bike.

Cool idea, and a seriously smart kid. But one has to wonder whether or not the Segway folks will get after him for patents.

The Honda Goldwing has nothing to fear from Uno.......

They might, but not until he makes some “for profit”. Suing someone who has no money is kind of pointless.......

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.

so basically it's a Segway with a seat. ... MMM
