One Wheel Motorcycles

Invented by an 18 year old from Canada - Ben Gulak , the UNO is a one wheel motorcycle that truly balances out. Right now there are 3 working prototypes. It only has one switch which is the power switch! To go forward you push your body weight forward to tilt the machine. To back up, just lean back. The farther you lean the faster it goes. Whats more is that this bike is electric so its more eco friendly.

Check out this article on the design of it on Motorcylcemojo. Ben had some help from a few companies after selling his idea to them, but all they really did is give him some of the necessary components like the body, wheels, and the complex gyros to balance the cycle. One Wheel Amazing Motorcycle... widely known as The Uno, it is a seemingly one wheeled motorcycle. Like every year, the 2008 National Motorcycle Show held in Toronto was also stimulated by the American V-twin gang and featured handful of elite machines by area’s top custom builders.

ANOTHER ONE WHEEL MOTOR CYCLE - Embrio design

Will it balance two riders on wheel? It claims to develop gyroscopes and sensors that will balance both riders on the Embrio design. In addition, it includes a small front “secondary” wheel for speeds under 12.5 mph, as to keep the balance when driving slow.

  

The small handlebar has a left and right trigger that would make the Embrio move forward and brake respectively. Furthermore, to turn using this bad boy, a rider would just need to lean towards the side he or she desires.

At first look it seems practically impossible to keep this motorcycle balanced and safe, but they do envision this to come out in 17 years. Maybe by then, technology advancement would make it feasible or maybe there would be bigger and better ideas available. One thing is for sure…it gives a new term for popping a wheelie.
