So, it's a one-wheeled Segway...

If you can't pop a wheelie, then what's the use?

But I remember seeing something similar about a year ago:

Quote:

"The Bombadier Embrio uses gyroscopic technology to balance itself and the rider on one wheel, however the smaller front wheel acts as stability control when the Embrio is stopped or traveling below 12mph. It will be powered by hydrogen fuel cells and we might see it in year 2025."

At first I LMAO! Then after thinking about it for a minute, I realized the very real possibility that we may all be commuting on one of those silly things one day in the future (when gas becomes so damn expensive we have no choice).

Looks like those kiddie rides outside the grocery store that bobbles up and down for 3 minutes with the insertion of a quarter!

Like Philip Said, "if it can't pop a wheelie, then what's the use?"
