Self-balancing unicycle for advanced urban commuting
One-wheeled transportation is nothing new — we’ve seen both Honda and some Canadian entrepreneur try one out. Heck, we’ve even seen an early concept of the RYNO Unicycle. But now as RYNO approaches actual production, a new version of their vehicle — that they’re now calling the Microcycle — has been unveiled. Controlled like a Segway in that you lean […]
