Solowheel outrides Segway

Want to know just how cool the Solowheel is compared to Segways? Well, why not check out the video of it in action in the extended post, where you see the rather elderly man riding on it without fear of crashing (and without protective gear, to boot!) while enjoying a lovely day outdoors on a single wheel. Talk about reinventing the wheel! Spotted at the International Toy Fair in New York, this product is a self-balancing unicycle and some people have quoted that the Solowheel maxes out at 12 mph with a battery that will exhaust itself after an hour or so of use. We’re not too sure of the learning curve of this, and who is brazen enough to test out its physical limits when going downhill and tackling corners at speed?
