One Wheeled Motorcycle - The Uno

Operation of the 54.4 kg (120 lb) machine is simple, in fact it's so simple there are no controls except for an on-off switch. To go forward you simply push your body weight forward to tilt the machine. To back up, just lean back on the seat to tilt it backwards and back it goes. The farther you lean, the faster it accelerates. The gyro tells the ECU how much to accelerate and that in turn delivers the proper amount of current to the electric motors, one for each wheel.

    What would happen if you farted and followed through, fell off and realize that the medics would know that you had your underwear on for six weeks with bigger skid marks on the back of them than what the bike left on the road
