Check this out!! (weird)

interesting....but kinda a scary too, looks like a two wheeled office chair. I can't believe they were doing all the testing without wearing at least a helmet.....that thing looks way to sketchy to me.

I think they would find a lot more stability putting the hand position in a slight more forward and upward placement....

Interesting toy but it won't be anything big. Remember how the Segway was supposed to "revolutionize" the way people travel? This is no different. I'd rather pedal.

Kinda cool looking. Doesn't look all that comfortable, or stable. It should get interesting reactions if that's what you're into, though. You'd better be into it at $5000-5600. Think I'd rather have a cool electric mountain bike.

The riding position is weird, it provides no control or stability. But boy this is an expensive toy!!

This may revolutionize the way people get hurt.

I guess that's what you get when you let the marketing and art dept. put together a product.

I keep wondering what happens if you run into a curb with that.....
ouch.

Lol.

Supposedly you can just step off of it without bars in the way... But i'd like to see it happen!

I would take a bike friday over that anyday.

There's a reason the Penny Farthing design was abandoned over a hundred years ago.

Yes, this variant keeps you closer to the ground. When you do go flying off, you may be able to keep your head from smacking the pavement if you have good upper body strength.
