January 17, 2013 - Bombardier Embrio
Introducing the Bombadier Embrio, the motor bike of the future! It uses gyroscopic technology to balance itself and the rider on one wheel. The smaller front wheel acts as stability control when the Embrio is stopped or traveling below 12mph. It will be powered by hydrogen fuel cells and we might see it in year 2025.

It looks cool and futuristic and all that, but how does it steer? Or brake? Unicycles have control through their pedals, but I don't even see where to put my feet on this thing.

Poorly, I would guess.
And it'll never see real world sales...for the same reason you can't buy a unicycle at Walmart. Liability.

Want one.
Something like this is described in Against A Dark Background. Sharrow looks sexy on hers, but she'd look sexy with a pig's nose and a cucumber sticking out of her cooch.

Bombadier always reminds me of the poem Timothy Winters.
It's Scottish and I know it my heart, but I did look it up to be sure I had the words in the right places. This is the verse I mean. Quote:
Gosh, how I'd bore him

Didn't Bombardier make some of the passenger rail cars for SEPTA (our local transit authority in Philadelphia region)?
