Fits theme of folding bikes, being ultraportable and for multi-mode transportation.

Says $1800, saw news about it at CES but hadn't seen posts here before.

The Solowheel is the smallest, greenest, most convenient "People Mover" ever invented. This gyro-stabilized electric unicycle is compact and fun to ride and is intended to be used as you would use an electric bicycle.

Wow!

It is amazing what some peopel are willing to pay to avoid mowing and getting exercise. You`ll soon find peopel riding it to the gym..

I would buy one but I heard it made your hair turn green. When I was 14, I rode a unicycle 22 miles without falling. My posterior has never forgiven me.

Don't really know what the market is for something like that. It is really neat and has a lot of wow factor, but I wonder how quickly the novelty would wear off. At nearly two grand, its not going to fall under the "impulse buy" category for many people.

I would love to try one though.

I'd like to see the out-takes, the slams in old-school skateboard terminology.

That's actually pretty darn cool. Not that I'd be rushing out to get one, but still.

Always thought that if Kamen could do the Segway, why not a two-wheeled, inline version, without the handlebar stalk? So basically a Segway skateboard, but single track with lateral stability built into it. I'd not ride a Segway, but I would so love to try this solowheel and would jump at a chance on the two-wheel-inline contraption I just described.

Save for the liability issues, a Solowheel rental outfit could stand to make some money on people wanting to try them. Free first lesson include with the rental of course.

Neat and much more portable than the Sageway.

As a personal transport, I think it is more portable, practical and affordable than the the Yikebike.

Cool a folding electric mini penny farthing (hi wheeler) with underseat steering.

That solowheel sounds amazing. I wouldn't buy one, but rent one for one day and have some fun, sure!
