Uh-oh ... what's going on here?

I kept thinking that it would be a bit inconvenient to carry a 'paddock' stand around all the time ... but apparently you park it by standing it on its tail.

Oh and in the video he keeps referring to it as a 'bike' ... I think he means 'unike'.

Reminds me of the unicycle scooter in the movie The Lorax.   Not electric but similar enough.

Also, I wonder about the scenario when the gyro balancing system fails.   Probably the same for the segway.   It seems a bit bulky to carry around (trains, elevators, etc.).

Ya got me there!   Less too than the Segway but it seems this one could be pared down a bit especially the tire.  Maybe the tire has to be that wide for stability.
