want one? I do...
We've seen these before and have discussed them plenty here...
But this one catches my eye quite a bit. It's also closest to becoming a reality.
Cool news report showcasing the vehicle and it's features including the no tip tech...

And company website... (maybe those of you nearby can go take a look)

I thought about that...there's 2 gyros with one being purely for redundancy. I would also imagine that the gyros also have a contingency independent power source in case your primary electrics fail.
I'm sure a lot more R&D is going to happen before they become commercially available.

lol. Poking around the site...that's one cool company. Another one of their products, the 'Scooter', a cargo scooter, looks like a genius idea.

Looks pretty cool. I would test drive one but for the $24,000 price not sure I'd buy one.

Sounds like once they cover prototyping costs it's dropping down to 12k/unit.

Re: want one? I do...
just a matter of time before someone lowers/stretches one and puts a huge rear tire and a bunch of chrome on it

I think it's pretty cool actually.. I don't know how I feel about not being able to put my feet on the ground when at a stop light or stop sign though.. Such a habit while on two wheels.. lol
