Say… That’s a Nice Bike…

Look at this bad boy. It’s called the EMBRIO (what it stands for is a mys­tery to me) and it’s being designed by some Cana­dian com­pany called Bobadier. From Gizmag–

This hydro­gen fuel cell pow­ered, gyro­scop­i­cally bal­anced, one-wheeled recre­ational and com­mut­ing vehi­cle pro­vides an extra­or­di­nary vision of the kind of per­sonal trans­port we could be using 20 years from now. The design brief for Bom­badier EMBRIO Con­cept was to “cre­ate highly inno­v­a­tive, func­tional and excit­ing prod­ucts to exceed people’s recre­ational needs” and find the “next thing” in recre­ational vehi­cles. The result is a futur­is­tic and min­i­mal­is­tic one-wheeler that is as about far away as you can get from the con­ven­tional image of a uni-cycle – a mode of trans­port nor­mally asso­ci­ated with cir­cuses and street parades. The rid­ing posi­tion will be sim­i­lar to a motor­cy­cle with a com­plex series of sen­sors and gyro­scopes bal­anc­ing pas­sen­gers on the sin­gle wheel. The rider acti­vates a trig­ger on the left han­dle­bar to accel­er­ate and turns are made by shift­ing body-weight rather than actu­ally steering.

Sweet. I’d ride one. Very “Minor­ity Report”.
