Which came first? The Uno or the MOTO

Thanks to Pupik for the heads up on this ride.

The Operation of the Uno

Operation of the 54.4 kg (120 lb) machine is simple, in fact it's so simple there are no controls except for an on-off switch. To go forward you simply push your body weight forward to tilt the machine. To back up, just lean back on the seat to tilt it backwards and back it goes. The farther you lean, the faster it accelerates. The gyro tells the ECU how much to accelerate and that in turn delivers the proper amount of current to the electric motors, one for each wheel.

Go help you if you have to brake suddenly!

I can just see this ending up on Top Gear guaranteed!

Its like a Segway for the road...

Which is way better than a Segway with no place to run - mow down pedestrians on the sidewalk, or get in the way of traffic.

As far as panic braking, just lean back hard. Gotta be better than this:
