Canadian teenager Ben Gulak has invented a rather unusual vehicle: a unicycle with two wheels. Well, isn't that just a bicycle, you say? Not if the wheels are next to each other.
Powered by an electric motor, Gulak's Uno only has an on/off switch and is controlled like a Segway: lean forward to move forward, lean to the side to turn, lean back to slow down and stop. Segway-like gyros keep you from falling, and because the wheels operate independently of each other, the Uno can turn on a dime.
We have no idea where the kickstand is, and Gulak has no idea when the Uno will go into production; he's currently seeking investors.
