Monocycle -- when 3 wheels are 2 too many

[punji]

Just what the world needs -- an alternative to the Segway. Looks like footpegs and windshield are standard equipment...

This could ONLY happen in Portland - and it's electric, of course, with a range of 100 yds between charges….

Nice; but I prefer... onewheeler.jpg

Wonder when the 2-up model comes out.

Wouldn't that be a circus act?? meandnicole.jpg

Not quite a threat to anything motorcycling at the moment, but still a developing mode of personal transport between say public transport and work or an inner city commuter. I'd certainly have one as opposed to walking which I'm limited at. So all speed ahead with the market for them I will be working at trying to get a partnership to develop my own design.

Let's not forget that the guy who invented that Segway thing got killed while testing an offroad model; he drove it off a cliff!

what??? no wheelies????

[Bob Denman]

I think that'd be a trick for pogo sticks.

Speaking of Portland: I watched a program called "Portlandia" on IFC network the other night. This is pretty bad stuff so I won't be going back.

They had a segment on it that showed a Spyder RT and the One Wheeler shown above. The segment was sick, and had nothing to do with the bikes--but both bikes were prominent in the sketch.

I saw it advertised; thanks for the warning!
