The Uno - Different Concept



Remember the MonoTracer? Well here’s another vehicle classed within the motorcycle category but an entirely different concept!

Self Balancing Motorcycle

The Uno, designed by the 18-year old Ben J. Poss Gulak and his team is a self-balancing motorcycle that uses a pair of gyroscopes to constantly keep its rider upright.

This means it only needs a set of wheels placed together and not like any motorcycle you've seen.

It may not look really easy to ride but apparently it’s just controlled by an on/off switch and all you need to do to accelerate is lean forward. If you lean back, it reverses too – there’s something normal motorcycles can’t do!
