That's pretty cool. I was expecting a repeat of old posts about the
"self-balancing" motorized unicycle, but this one looks like he
actually is doing the balancing himself, with the help of feathering
the engine. Looks pretty hard to ride.

yea, he had to speed it up just right so it moved under his center of
gravity when he mounted it, then just keep it at a steady speed and its
a motorized bc with a seat....or vary the motors speed a bit and its a
uni you balance with your fingertips...

Jackie Chabanais' motorized unicycle has been mentioned before. But the
YouTube video is new. He has a short Windows Media video on his web
site that I had seen before.
His motorized unicycle is all manually controlled. There are no Segway
electronics involved. All controlled by a throttle held in his hand.
Amazing.

I believe he claims to have taken several hours a day for several months
to learn to ride this device, despite already being a highly skilled
stunt rider.

Must be really difficult, yet looks more fun to ride than the self
balancing uni's.

Years ago at a motorcycle show I saw a motorized unicycle made from a
hacked-up and re-welded Honda CT70. That one had handlebars, though. It
was made for a trials motorcycle rider (I can't remember his name,
sorry) by the rider's dad for practicing.
