• Solowheel uses gyroscopes to help you travel on a single wheel

    Very soon, driving around in a four-wheeler might seem plain stupid, given that you could just about travel anywhere, on a single wheel instead. The Solowheel is just what its name suggest, a solo wheel and a better way to get around town. First of all, this one’s pin-drop silent, and also, it creates no pollution. Using a 1,000-watt Lithium-ion battery, the 20 pound wheel works for a good 2 hours on a single charge before it whines for more juice. Using the principle of Gyroscopes, this one accelerates when the user leans forward and slows down on leaning backwards. Also, it takes just about 15 minutes to master the use of this one.



    The price tag might just scare potential buyers though. Costing $1,500, you’re left to decide if it’s worth the cost for a single wheel that will grab a load of stares as you ride along.
