Uno Cleaning the Environment?

uno unicycle

Your first look at the Uno can be confusing.

With Ben J. Poss Gulak, its 19-year-old inventor, crouched on it like a jockey, you might think “sportbike.” But where are the wheels?

The Uno’s custom hoops aren’t front and rear like a motorcycle’s, but side by side and inches apart under the rider, rising and falling independently over the road as he leans the gyroscope-stabilized machine through effortless turns.

This is not your father’s Segway…

So is this a “donor bike” or will it make the Chinese want to ditch their cars for bikes again? Only time will tell. Personally, I would love to try one of these when they’re in production mode. Ben, if you’re listening, send one down to Atlanta when you’re ready to debut the Uno.
