THE UNO ….Would you ride one of these??

Posted By: Benjamin Barrows | Comments 5

The Uno is a concept motorcycle straight out of the imagination of 18-year-old Ben J. Poss Gulak. I have to admit the design is pretty innovative and definitely eye catching. The operation of the Uno is what scares me.

This machine uses Segway ideology where the rider leans forward and backward to control acceleration. To go forward you simply push your body weight forward to tilt the machine. The farther you lean, the faster it accelerates. Sounds like a formula for disaster, but I’m sure if the Uno ever went into production their would be riders ready to take a spin.

I love motorcycles, but that one wheel thing is definitely not working. Sorry….I like two wheels!

what i find funny is the motorcycle guys are saying the uno is not safe. Like a motorcycle is so much more safe. If you ask me 2 wheel or one your all crazy in my book.
