http://rynomotors.com/, an electric, rider-on-top monocycle. Look rather familiar to anyone else (that is, has anyone else ever looked at page 108 of Arsenal)?

Made me think of a Segway.

You've got my agreement on that.

I'm still not convinced that the rider stays on top...

Same sort of idea, really - Gyro Stabilized Vehicle and all that.

If you watch the video of the inventor riding it, he certainly seems to.

It's a start. But with a 10mph top speed, it's still needing some tweaks.

Drive it with RCC 3 and get 8 times the speed

Interesting... Now, the real question is how much will it cost?

I dunno, I'm kinda with Jhaiisiin: how much will it cost to make it go fast?

Which is why I thought of a segway.

And don't forget about endurance. Want to be able to get at least a few hours out of it at high performance.

Now that looks like fun, shame about the speed though.
