The Electric Self Balancing Unicycle

Posted on November 5, 2008

Focus Designs has come out with an electric unicyle that does all the difficult looking balancing and pedaling for you. Focus Designs says the bike uses accelerometers and gyroscopes to control the unicycle's movement.

Focus Designs says, "The SBU is an electric self-balancing unicycle which uses accelerometers and gyroscopes to control the forward and backward movement with an electric motor. Basically, it pedals for you. It's an experience like no other."

They look very interesting. As Gizmodo suggests it would be a way to check unicycle riding off your bucket list. You can find the website for the SBU here. Here is a video about the SBU:
