Hot Wheel


Take a look at this future of segway called Embrio. It only has a single wheel, balanced by a sets of gyroscopes, has active suspension, infrared night vision and it runs on fuel cells. What more can you ask?

From the article:

The Embrio also borrows several other advanced technologies from cars, like infrared night vision and an active suspension, which can vary its damping rates based on road conditions. Its riding position resembles that of a motorcycle, and it balances one or more passengers with a network of sensors and gyroscopes. To move the Embrio, you use an accelerator trigger on the left handlebar and a brake trigger on the right
