[mountainsport]

Can you imagine the things that people are thinking and saying about Electric Bikes Riders these day or maybe from ever since.
Well then, what will they think about this?
Please type in (youtube), MythBuster Adam Savage + SBU (Self Balancing Unicycle).
Maybe people will think that it is good to save on the (psi) by only buying one wheel.

But - pound to a pinch of snuff - I'd have been drinking that pond he narrowly avoided...

Cant see that doing my back much good, although it could do wonders for my core muscles with practice

........not that I have any intention of ever practicing on one of them, it looks lethal to me

I like it but I think it needs some handlebars!

For those who like to let everthing hang out, shirt tails could be a problem.

The perfect transport for those who don't want their teeth anymore!
And one still needs to be able to balance a unicycle, because it only balances from back to front, not side to side, pity.
I wonder if these things would work with pedal drive added, or would motor fight you pedaling?
Side to side balancing might be achieved with a gyro-activated actuator shifting the battery weight around or leaning the wheel on a front to back horizontal axis. Or could a gyroscope hold a persons weight balanced?
Still have to steer it somehow, steer-by-wire joystick on the gyro? Mmm, wish I knew more engineering
