Balancing Bike - No Joke

It may look like a joke, but this motorbike is the brainchild of 18-year-old Canadian Ben Gulak who spent several years developing the bike.
The electric powered ‘Uno’ has two wheels, side-by-side is controlled entirely by body movements
and uses gyroscopic technology to stay upright.
It moves in the direction the rider leans, so the further forward you lean, the faster you go.
Ben said he was inspired to create the ‘green’ bike after visiting China and seeing all the smog there. He says his invention could help beat pollution, weighing just 58kg and has a range of 2.5 hours once it is charged from the mains.
He says: "The bike is fairly easy to ride, but takes a bit of getting used to because you have to learn to trust it."
The Uno can reach a top speed of 25mph, but Ben says this can easily be increased by using a bigger motor. He is looking for investors to start production of the motorcycle.
