"Bi" means two. You cant call it a "bike" unless it has two wheels.

It doesn't look as nerdy as a Segway.

So since it's a "uni-cycle" I guess we could call it a "yike!"

First you'd have to figure out how to hit the breaks without going over the handlebars. Of course that assumes you figured out how to get it moving without dumping over backwards. Definitely wouldn't want to grab a fist full of throttle.

Found it. It is called the Uno . It actually does have two wheels and is based off the Segway. Still don't think I want to ride one though. :)

Id try it if they had a demo day, it just may get demoed though, if they let you test them.

I dunno, guys. This UNO thing seems to epitomize the "monkey humping a football" look.

I just can't see it taking off.

(Well, if you rode it over the edge of something tall perhaps.)

The kid was only 18 years old that built it, Quite an accomplishment.
