The Electric Unicycle


The Electric Unicycle


um... yeah. This falls under stuff I think is cool, and I'm glad there are people crazy... er um, creative enough to actually design it, but I don't think I'd even want to try it. If YOU think it's the greatest thing ever, and just have to have one, there are instructions on the linked page.

The Electric Unicycle's only control is the on-off switch. The rider controls everything else by shifting his weight. You lean forward to accelerate, lean backwards to brake, and gyrate your arms wildly to turn. With a little practice you can get more graceful and keep your arms mostly by your side.
