I think I better stick to the 1 wheel electric skateboard version that incorporates a similar self balancing feature.

Does it have a proportional strength control so you wean yourself off of the gyro gradually.. ? I'd love to learn how to unicycle but my balance sucks.

this thing is cool for learning how to ride a unicycle, but it appears in the video that they are also trying to pass it off as a viable mode of transportation.

i already get enough guff from the a-holes at work that make jokes, and poke fun at me all the time because i ride an electric bike to work.

besides...10mph top speed? it would take me a really long time to get to work.
