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 kid who made this is 18!! and only on the waitlist for MIT?! Wonder what the other kids did to get in?

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.
the bike reminds me of the monobikes they used in the “venus wars” manga & anime, googleimage it. thanks for building stuff i’ve only seen in ink, ben, hope you get into MIT.
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.
