    Maybe.... Altho there's no way you'd safely wanta put a car tire on that thing!!

    But you wouldn't want one of those 'Special Motorcycle Only' excuses for a tire from Kenda either!! Image trying to ryde on just ONE wheel if it was lumpy, out of round, couldn't be aligned, didn't have the tread laid on straight, came with sub standard & often defective belts built in, and wore like crap as well!! Altho, maybe with just one wheel to ryde on, I'd look/feel like I was ryding on all that anyway!!



    Still, I think I'll stick to my Spyder (but running on real tires, not those 'Special' things!!)

    I like the concept, and it appears to have something like a 240 (like what comes on the M109). But for me I see a few problems. First would be the fact that i am only 5 pounds below it's max weight, second would be the 10 mph top speed.
    For me, I would rather have the 125 honda grom.

    Isn't it obvious - you're doing that all the time!!

    Cos, Every time you ryde, you're balancing it on the back wheel! Hang on!? Maybe that's the front wheel??!

    Ok, for all the speed freaks out there who feel constrained by the 10 mph limit, here is an alternative that will do up to a whopping 25mph. I'm pretty sure that you don't have to worry about getting a Kenda tire on this one:

    Default Electric Unicycle

    For a lot less than five grand you can get a pedal unicycle and learn to balance it yourself. Probably still top out at 10 mph too.

    But I prefer a more classically designed bike:

    I've watched the Ryno for years and it wasgoing to be a commuter speed vehicle but at the end of the day because it was a skill based set instead of a technology solution like ABS they went with the easier path of just doing a sidewalk legal commuter at the lowerspeed. Needs some big $$ to help make a few more of the projects and the Ryno more user friendly.
