18歲的加拿大年輕人發明了外型超眩單輪摩托車問世！

A young Canadian inventor named Ben Gulak has created an innovative new electric motorbike that takes some of the lessons learned from the Segway device, but implements them in cooler package. The bike, called the Uno, looks from its profile like a strange powered unicycle but actually employs two wheels side-by-side. Riders lean forward to accelerate -- a feature used by the Segway, and can hit a top speed of 25 mph in its current configuration. The Uno also makes use of a set of gyros to enhance ease of balance, and the wheels are independently operated making turning much more precise.

Gulak, who's 18 years old, says that the Uno is relatively simple to ride but, "takes a bit of getting used to because you have to learn to trust it." The young inventor is currently courting investors for his Uno project, and truly believes that the vehicle might one day provide a green alternative for urban commuters.

"It has a range of about 2.5 hours and it is designed for the commute to work through busy towns" says Gulak. " I believe this could be electrical alternative to the car. I'm just looking for an investor to help me get it into production." :: MotorCycle Mojo

夠殺! 人人都會騎孤輪
看到機車可以設計成這樣子之後，我不看好摺疊式電動機車的想法與理由更充裕更篤定了。

這台看起來像表演單輪特技使用的機車，事實上是設計兩顆輪子並排，原理跟美國風行的賽格威 Segway 一模一樣，身體往前傾加速，往後減速，由內建的陀螺儀平衡控制。差別只在一台是座著的像騎車，一台是站立的。

看到 Ben Gulak 這麼設計，也許有人開始想改裝自己的賽格威了。這看起來這麼飆 (不過最大時速 40 km/h)，可以選擇的話，誰會想在路上摺疊小綿羊啊。
