The Segway human transporter has inspired the creation of many vehicles of the same type. Recently, we featured a solo-wheeled Segway that made an appearance at the popular design competition, James Dyson Award. This personal transporter is also designed after the Segway except for the fact that it has a solo wheel.
The EniCycle is a unicycle with a difference. Designed by Slovenian inventor Aleksander Polutnik, the EniCycle is a self balancing unicycle which features a gyroscope system that turns 100rps. The electric motor which powers the bike is fitted just below the seat and above the mono-wheel. Like most Segways, speed of the bike is controlled by the movement of the person riding it; leaning forwards leads to acceleration and leaning backwards decelerates the EniCycle.
