Bombardier's Hot Wheel

Posted by timothy on from the dorky-or-cool dept.

Anonymous Chris writes "Following the release of the Segway, Bombardier (the makers of such things as Ski-Doo and Lynx snowmobiles) announce their prototype Embrio - a motorcycle-like unicycle that uses gyroscopes to balance itself and runs off hydrogen fuel cells. It also features a landing gear that automatically retracts once you reach 12 m.p.h. The story is at Forbes. You can also get more information directly from their website."

    Amazing, somebody actually came up with a vehicle that offers less protection than a motercycle. Call me less-than-adventurous, but I'll stick to my good old-fashioned collision-survivable car.
