Unlike its two-wheeled cousin, the unicycle has pretty much been ignored in terms of advancements. No real unicycle revolution has come about since its (debated) debut in the 1800s.
Well, until today.
MIT Student Stephan Boyer has engineered an electric self-stabilizing unicycle. Only slightly larger than its forefather, Boyer’s creation, dubbed the ‘Bullet’, can clock up to 15 miles per hour, but needs to be recharged every 5 miles. Boyer demonstrates the Bullet below though his dorm hallway and as you can see, the Bullet keeps true to the simplistic design of a traditional unicycle, but its much, much cooler.
Unfortunately for all of us newly-interested unicyle enthusiasts, Boyer tells physorg.com that he has no plans on bringing the Bullet to market and is just settling for being awesome. You can learn more about the Bullet & beg Boyer for spin here.

I am a 27 years old doctor,mature and beautiful. and now i am seeking a good man who can give me real love, so i got a sername Andromeda2002 on  Agedate.СòM, a nice and free place for younger women and older men,or older women and younger men, to interact with each other.Maybe you wanna check out or tell your friends.
He should REALLY patent his invention (if he hasnt already) before someone takes the idea and makes millions of dollars off of it.
It could be a hit in highly urbanised areas. People often lack space for bikes but that's compact and cool.
Or you can just buy one from Focus Designs right now. SBU (self balancing unicycle).
