2-wheel Motorcycle
 
Interesting...

How would you brake hard without eating pavement?

The segway moves slow enough to brake and not tip forward, but this looks a little difficult to engineer.

same way the segway does it. leaning backward to keep the CG/vector forces through the wheel/s. just leans back more at higher speed. looks really cool, anyone know the range/top speed of that thing?

That makes sense (to lean it back) but at 80 mph, youd have to be leaning back quite a bit and I wonder how comfortable it would be.

What if you gun it at 80 mph- you'd already be leaning back- so might the extra kick backward give you road rash on your rump? :)

I guess it would be computerized so that it would not accelerate/brake fast enough to make it unstable

IMHO, design overkill. An regular electric motorcycle is much simpler to build and doesn't take up that much space.

That's the thinking of a rice boy! But all the cars look the same.

It's one thing to be unique.. and it's another to look stupid... I think this falls in the latter. I'd like to see the first time he tried to stop that thing in a panic stop situation from 30 to 0 mph... without a helmet even.
