Looks interesting, and I'm sure you'd get lots of looks.
But, I question how useful it might be. 
How quickly can you stop without a face plant?
What benefits if any does it have over a Segway?

Interestingly, sedgways are illegal on public paths and roadways in QLD. I guess they would ban these gadgetts too..... Ummm wonder why electric skate boards are legal?
go figure. ....I`m too busy fighting with them over lane splitting... Why has an unregistered, uninsured bicycle with less braking manouvreability more rights than me?,,,and they are allowed to do 60klm/hr up the inside of stopped cars?..when I, fully insured and safety attired, am willing to accept a 15klm/hr speed limit when lane splitting in traffic!!!!  :diablo:..not to mention pollution and subsequent traffic management benefits as occurs in most countries -- except Australia...Soon they`ll wanta ban my mates Mal (Surfboard)..cause he put an electric motor in it (with a fold up prop) to assist his crook shoulder...and the rubbish ya gotta go through to register a drone crop duster is ridiculous.....I want one a them too!  :biggrin: (Just imajine how much shit I could dump on Harleys!  Heheeheeee)

Bah,, just a copy of the Canadian kids invention that he started as a school project. He has a version that goes from the UNO and spreads out to a 2 wheeled motorcycle.

Well, it looks like it would be faster.

The Segway is limited to 12.5 mph.

Reminds me of those giant weeble a from when I was a kid, you know the ones that you could hit as hard as you like but kept getting back up.

Didn't seem him brake hard though did you!!
A life has been well lived, if you have planted trees under who's shade you do not expect to sit.

I'm told I'm cynical, pessimistic and generally miserable. I say that I'm realistic! The fact that reality sucks is not my fault!
