Uno unicycle featured in this month's Motorcycle Mojo

The original page's been Duggerized, but here's the money shot: an electrical unicycle in bright orange, the Uno, created by 18-year old student Ben Gulak. It is exactly what it appears to be, though with the addition of Segway-like accelerometers and gyros to help the rider not kill himself within half a mile of the dealership.

And to think that my wife thinks letting me get a motorcycle is too risky...

The new Segway is a Motorcycle [Digg]

Call me stupid if you must, but what the flippin' heck is "duggerized"?

Duggerize
v. To digg a website hard; to destroy a website with digg.
(portmanteau of "dugg," "buggerize.")

I totally need this, if only to finally give my mother the heart attack she's been threatening to have for the past 30 years.

Call me crazy, but isn't a unicycle supposed to have only one wheel, hence the prefix?

I just looked at the picture a second time today, and yeah... what #6 said.
