It didn't look real comfortable. I think I can have more fun on 2 wheels. However I wouldn't mind giving it a test drive.

I'm interested for a variety of reasons but I've been watching for years and they can't come up with the cash, or customers, to produce the product.

I agree it would be better with a single "tweel".

I want an off-road version, then I could just put it on the back of my scooter and ride to the trails!

Now I wonder about how this would work in dirt and loose gravel. I had rocks slip out from under me before riding and on one wheel you don't got much traction.

I know what you mean,  but just maybe it might work better. With all the weight focused on one wheel, and if they indeed have all the balance issues worked out with gyros and such...  regardless,  it would be quite a thrill.   Imagine going down a steep hill with lose dirt and rocks?

I think the gyro's keep it from going down, should be no problem stopping from any speed.
