Unocycle: very impressive "single" wheel bike!
 
Just discovered this. :ohmy:
Does anyone know something more about it?
Looks like an interesting technology, but not sure if I'd try it :?:

Ooops ! the photo apparently didn't upload ! :-(
Where are the instructions to upload/ attach a photo in the post??

Concepts of a single wheel motorcycle have appeared before,

however the name is misleading as the bike has two wheels, and "uno" probably refers to "first" of it's kind.

wow a two wheeled motorcycle, talking 'bout a new age technology :D

Do any of the articles include video?

Jona 07-13-2008 02:19 PM

That thing has all the necessary incredients for a hilarious accident :mrgreen:

CarlZ 07-13-2008 02:55 PM

^hahahaha didn't thought about that

I found this bit of info
 
A Coolest-gadgets.com article stated:
"Believe it or not, the UnoCycle has only one button for its controls. There is no throttle, brakes, or handlebar, just the riders leaning in whatever direction. In fact, it uses the same Segway principle of LeanSteer. The UnoCycle has a top speed of 15 miles per hour, but the designers hope they could get it up to 40 mph."

They compared it to the Audi Snook too.

No luck on any video though. I hope the info helps anyway.

Has anyone noticed it looks a bit like a cock?

In the sense of a rooster, I mean.

unicycle may look ike a rooster, but if you're driving it you look like a cock

They made the body look too much like a sport bike, I personally think it's one of the ugliest things I'd prefer to just pedal on a traditional unicycle than that thing a ma jig.

RC45 07-15-2008 07:56 PM

Why no video though? Is it because it cant actually move and those are photoshops?

Evo8 07-16-2008 07:37 AM

OTOH, if they do make it work, what a great way to commit an anonymous suicide.

Put in a superbike engine, get it to 200mph, and... hard on the brake!
Beats even jumping with a parachute except without (120mph).
