I think I've seen pictures of people riding a gas motor of that.

Nope. Probably not ever. ...unless you comission one from one of these
inventors at a price that's likely to be way higher than you're willing
to spend.

...but mass produced and affordable? Never is my guess.

Yes, looks like something's happened to the motorcyclemojo site, at
least at the moment. But the Gizmodo link works, and there you can see
some more pictures. It looks like what Batman would make if he needed a
powered unicycle. Except it's not really a unicycle, it's a dicycle.
Still looks like it would be fun though!

VERY impressive, considering the builder is only 18. And at first I
thought it was silly to make it look so aerodynamic if it was just
Segway-powered, but from what little was on the Gizmodo site, it
appears to not necessarily be Segway hardware in there. That means it
might have more powerful motors and a higher top speed!

It's very cool indeed, but it's not really anything new. It's basically
a motorcycle like frame attached to segway-like mechanics. ....I
wouldn't be surprised if he borrowed heavily from Trevor's code.

Still, it's very impressive, and far cooler (and more dangerous!) than
a Segway

That thing's beautiful, but is it actually usable? Very few motorized
one-wheeled vehicles are. I'd love to know more about that one...

To the naysayers,

That's what they said about MANY inventions which are now household
items.

That looks pretty nifty....Im really thinking about buying an electric
unicycle before I go to college...It would be my way to get around....

I got to wait for some speed advances though:p

So what keeps you upright? Coz on a man powered unicycle it's your feet
being in direct control of the wheel that keeps you upright.

Wow, very cool! I had not seen that one before. And it's a clean-air
vehicle, even though the "author's" name is Polutnik. 🙂

Me either. But don't hold your breath. Though the link on the site says
"On Sale", it only leads to some text about how one can license the
technology or otherwise "invest" in the idea. Problem is, the cycles
would be very expensive to manufacture, especially at first (in small
numbers) so the early ones would probably cost several thousand
dollars. And this high price will make it less likely for any investors
to take the risk on making them, so it may just sit there.

You might be better off, at least in terms of the next few years, to
try building your own based on 'Trevor Blackwell's online specs'
(http://tlb.org/eunicycle.html).

My own 'video clip of Trevor' (http://tinyurl.com/4324dm). Note the
street is not level; it's downhill to the corner, then uphill on the
way back.

There's probably just the one, and it's probably not for sale. ....you
might be able to comission one for the right price :-)
