Reply To: Cycling Monkeys?
It is exactly like a uniSegway. The SBU balances itself front-to-back; you lean forward to accelerate, lean backwards to decelerate. Since there’s just one wheel you have to balance it side-to-side (as you would a bicycle). My adventures with the Mark I device were what inspired me to write this song:

You can see what the SBU looks like here: http://focusdesigns.com/media/
(I’m actually planning to shoot a music video for the song. The new one has a top speed of 12.5 mph.)
