I just saw this on here I think, I can't remeber i think it's a good idea it's like the segway and uses gyros to balance also it goes 25 mph. if they were cheap i'd buy one.

Yeah, I don't think there is any way in hell I'd buy one of those for the simple factor of safety. Cool idea, but I don't see it going anywhere, anytime soon as far as production goes... we'll see though.

i dont see safety being an issue with this thing.. a regular motorcycle is way more dangerous (it doesnt help you balance and can reach way higher speeds)

True, but have you riden a unicycle compared to a bicycle? I know this has counterweights and all but it has to be more difficult to balance on than a regular old sportbike..... no?

Locked wheel on a bike, you spin out but you might be able to control/recover. Locked wheel on a unicycle and you become best friends with the tree/car/building in front of you.
