If you don’t fancy yourself a Segway type and would like something a bit more urban and hip, then the EniCycle might just fit the bill.

Unlike traditional unicycles, the EniCycle takes just 15-30 minutes to learn how to ride, a feat accomplished by way of mini-gyroscopes that measure the vertical angle of the bike 100 times a second. That info is then sent to the bike’s internal processor and 1000 watt hub motor to keep the bike balanced.  To accelerate, just lean forward while a pair of foot pegs act as a steering wheel.  Top speed maxes out at 10 mph and the battery provides about 3 hours of riding time on a single charge.

Its inventor, Aleksander Polutnik, has only created two of the bikes and is currently in search of funding to begin mass production.
