  • See Ben at 1:06 Here: youtu (dot) be/JOmc2GzWtSE

  • No offense, this kid is obviously talented but the thing only looks ok on its own but you would look like a dick when riding on it. will not fucking sell in the mass, most people will look like dicks on it, however a nice 10 out 10 victoria secret bitches will be fine on it. You will not look cool riding that weird looking thing, as a novalty item yes but no way the next big thing.

  • safer or better than a bike?... well, you look like an idiot riding it, and the idea of a bike is going FAST, at 15 Mph you are pretty stupid if you kill yourself in a bike anyway so, safer is debatable.

  • but this is misleading ... it's not a "uni" anything because it has TWO wheels (parallel but two) !!

  • i would definitely get one...its more safer than a motorcycle..

  • This kid's a born winner.

  • LOL O'Leary is so funny... "do you have any adversity for being rich because some ppl do... they are called communists."

  • He's right about the Segway now. I mean, look at Massachusetts, where I live. What have I seen the Segway being used for? Tours. A bunch of tourists with money to spend are using this "trendy" Segway guided tour to see parts of town that they're too lazy to walk to. Don't give me a line about people with limited mobility, since you need to stand for hours on one of those things.

    This kid was and is brilliant and I'm glad to see him in the right hands.

  • There was a guy(Chris Hoffman) on Daily Planet today with his invention the " Ryno". Looks and works just like that. I hope this guy succeeds because he's a good ole'd Milton boy.

  • Good for him to slay all 5 dragons. Considering Robert throws loonies around like their manhole covers.

  • they have the uno 3 which can transform in you a full on motorcycle and u can use i even for work. Its pretty awesome but all they need to do is lower the price and tons of people will buy it

  • 5000 to 5500 dollars my mıstake 15mph top speed looks stupıd rather have a push bıke

  • 6000 dollars??? Im sorry but thıs ıs shıt!!!! cant belıeve ıt

  • "is your vision with the the money to create a think tank; where you take a product to certain stage and then license it to others nd then build a next cool thing OR!!!! is your idea is to become the next Henry ford of the motorcycle world'". CORPORATE MIND FUCK

  • This UNO thing reminds me of the anime "rideback" where a normal motorcycle can turn into a two legged robotic bike with arms and shit. o: The reason this reminds me of that is because this can be both a double wheeled [like a normal cycle] and a single wheeled. I can imagine seeing a rideback in the future. :3 That'd be so cool. That's just wishful imagination though. xD

  • do you realize how dangerous that is?

  • starts at 1:56

    Thumbs ?`^^

  • It's interesting that he wanted to open it in Massachusetts, since Segway tours are so popular now in the Boston and Salem areas. I'm not saying it's not a cool ride, I think this guy had a briliant idea and it's obviously found a place in 21st century history.

    I just think it's fascinating given the uprising of segway based tours.

  • when i pressed this on TV i thought it was going to be a fun and action packed film about dragons; but it was shit. this program is shit.

  • @klimtkiller you are shit.

  • Skip adds, show starts at 1:55 

  • @13andincradiblycutt Indeed I would...;)

  • The BEST Dragon`s Den episode EVER. Ben ROCKS & he stuck to his guns at 20%. Kudos to you Ben. The Uno will make him MILLIONS & happily so...;)

  • Ok, this is just stupid.. one-wheeled bike has been around for a while and the reason why they don't sell is because there is already a much better invention on the market: a two-wheel bike! This has exactly the same problems as the Segway. It works on flat surface in slow speed. 15 mph is not faster than a normal bicycle so there is really no point or environment friendly about it. Biggest problem is when the surface is slick and you loose traction or hitting an obstacle. You will fall over!

  • Comment removed

  • Very intelligent young man...

  • 1:58 - To skip the intro.

  • Good on ya mate

  • It's incredible that the Dragons were way more excited in buying 20% of company than Gulak from obtaining 1,25 mln...

  • This UNO bike actually transforms into a normal motorcycle now.

  • Comment removed

  • These 'alternative transport' ideas are all a bunch of crap! Bicycles have been around for thousands of years, and we still have trouble taking them mainstream, so how about an "Uno?"

  • honestly it looks uncomfortable i wouldn't ride it, we will end pollution with this, but doctors will make millions off back injuries

  • they give you shit on tv. Eat it what are you waiting for?

  • I'd like to smash this annoying fuck in the mouth. First off, cant his parents afford braces ?? Next, why are the Dragons so quickly smitten with this punk ?? Why no: "where is the bike"? ANYone else would be greeted with "you come on here without a live product and want over a million"? That thing looks SO damn uncomfy. Just like American Idol, fawning and hype are given to the young 'uns, for drama, nothing more. Some fucker will get killed on this, hit by a ten-speeder cycling...its over

  • @getchasumm HAHAHHAHAHA!!! thanks for making my dayyy LOL

  • Dragon Ball Z bike!

  • 1:55 to skip the intro.

  • everyone look up venus wars...that movie has one wheeled bikes called mono bikes....he should have copied that idea first then went from there

  • I would never buy this. Also, I highly doubt citizens in Hong Kong would spend $5000 on a bike. Bad product imo

  • I personally agree that the Uno bike is pretty dorky looking and not very practical in the U.S. But then again, I ride a '95 HD Sporty. People in Asia love scooters and weird stuff like this. I think it will probably find a market there. Also, I have to give credit to this young guy for the ambition and technical know-how to build something like that. Props dude.

  • Dangerous looking product in my opinion.

  • @JinNOSify With any Motorbike the proper driver training is all you need..

  • forget about business, as an expert in brain and behaviour I can tell you that this is the smartest 19 year old I've ever seen in my life, he is not only technically talented (obviously!) but has the confidence and presence that will take him very far, hope that he will continue to take his confident and wise steps in life and not get side-tracked by money only (which he should make for sure for his talent!)

  • LOL this reminds me of hte South Park episode where Randy invented a gynocycle with similar seating position

  • so wait a minute, this show has rich persons that determine if your product or idea is profitable , then vote whether not to actually invest their own money into it, i mean wtf kind of show is this?

  • I'm happy with my old fashioned one wheel behind the other motorbike

  • It looks worse then the Segway. You basically have to lay on that thing with your legs out in the air.

  • Interestingly enough, the inventor of the segway recently died after crashing a segway

  • "it is so cool looking" - "oh thank u, i did all the design by myself" ^^

  • This was a smart deal by the Dragons. Did you hear the one Dragon say we can go to Toyota? This just means they will sign the deal, go to Toyota and sell their 20% stake for 4 or 5 million dollars.

    Toyota spending 4 million dollars is like a factory worker spending 50 dollars on movie night. It's nothing to them so this was a smart deal. They could sell the 20% without paying anything to the kid. They just take 90 days for due diligence.

  • over engineered answer to a problem that doesn't exist.

  • the intro on every single video is so annoying

  • Where is it? Has it fizzle out?

  • Comment removed

  • im not gonna lie, sure it looks flippin awkward, but so do the first prototypes of everything. one thing is for sure and that is segways look gay as fuck.

  • This has no market right now, but this has a lot of potential to become something cheap and affordable.

  • dragon's den ripped the boy off i'm sure

  • i'll buy

  • hes a genius man. hes 19..

    they paid the money to buy the boys brain.

    in the future he will make them millions

  • @Frankii3 this guy reminds me of Bill Gates.

  • Id rather have a segway anyday.

  • It has no storage space for groceries or anything so it can't replace a normal bike.

  • @LoserUser1127 who the fuck buys groveries on a bike?

  • i so want that bike for christmas when it comes out!!

  • it's a segway with the bar shortened. What a waste of money investing in this kid.

  • this guy is going to make something special

  • In what way is this bike 'cool'? It looks very uncomfortable to ride, very bad body position, constantly leaning forwards.

  • They didn't invest in the bike....they invested in the inventor.

  • the kid who made this bike is very smart. he will get his paper..

  • replace bikes and scooters around the world huh? u cant get that nerd machine faster because of breaking limits ! so cool looking? u want be looking at anything when ur face is planted to the ground ! even if this bike sells i wouldnt invest knowing the potential dangers of this monstrosity ! dragons are dumb fucks !

  • the dragons got to where they are with there knowledge today and they have millions if not billions... so unless your a multi millionare/ billionare id take that back

  • we'll see. i'll stick to my word for now.

  • @flamesfan911 but they can get things wrong. Most of them make their money in the usual sectors - real estate being the most lucrative. They really aren't experts in every single sector. They also invest in people sometimes, and not the product. This was an 18/19 year old who was presenting something they thought looked good. 99.99% of 18 year olds do nothing by that age. So as one of them says, they were highly impressed with him, and that's probably what has helped his pitch big time.

  • What happens when you accidently run over a pothole? I think you would go flying.I don't see anything that keeps you safe.Plus at 15 mph I think people would get impatient when everyone on the street including the elderly woman on a casual stroll passes you by with ease.

  • reinvention of the wheel. totally unnecessary. just looks cool. maybe a few will buy. i doubt its gonna be big. strongly doubt it. the dragons messed up.

  • for a different reinvention look up the RIOT wheel

  • i wonder what happened with this too. thru licensing it could be developed to have more comfortable positioning i'm sure.

  • I remember seeing this episode of Dragons Den. I wonder whatever happened to Ben and his cycle.

  • he's like a combination between beck and Napoleon dynamite

  • I think you also have to remember that this is a television show and Kevin is undoubtedly told to be the bad guy.

    Think of Simon from American Idol, of course he's not actually that much of a prick, but it's television--no one would watch if every dragon was mickey mouse about every pitch, people watch it to see Kevin rip in to people.

    He's an old friend of my father's and he'll admit Kevin is a hard-ass, but that's partly what made him his money, being tough and taking risks.

  • I thought of this Idea a few years back when the segway went on sale, BUT its unsafe. Can you imagine making a sudden stop with it??? The reason you can stop fast on a motorcycle is because all the weight gets transfered to the FRONT wheel. IF you tried to suddenly stop with this thing, either your not going to be able to because the computer wont let the bike flip, or your bike is going to front flip into the object your trying to avoid

  • exacto mundo ! even if u have two wheels and you apply the brakes on the front only, the back goes up !

  • us nerds will rule the world

  • "simontimon2" You say you nerds will rule the world.Don't you mean to say that you will rule the 7-11 parking lot after everyone else leaves and goes to bed at 4 am? Or do you mean you will rule a pile of shit?

  • Your just pissed that I live in a manson with my hot girl friend.

    While you live in a shity apartment trying to remeber the last time you got laid.

    /watch?v=HOncsnYp7Ic&feature=P­layList&p=tFZnpTzVqIo

  • "simontimon2" It's amazing that you actually think I know all the facts about your life before you tell them to me.Look,you don't have a mansion or a hot girlfriend.You're just bragging because you know you don't ever have to prove it,plus you are a homo and child molester.

  • You just pissed you have a shity life. probebly haven't seen you dick for more than a decade.

  • "simontimon2" It looks like I am right,you are a homosexual.You are talking about my dick.Out of all the things to talk about,you choose my dick.Well I'm not going to let you suck it.You are dumb and stupid and should stop masterbating to pictures of your mother.

  • is this bike even safe?I am out mate.

  • no offense to guy, he's smart and made something i could never imagine or even want to imagine but honestly, i really don't think this uno bike is going to sell. It looks incredibly ridiculous. the only reason its getting attention is because it raises eyebrows.

    can you honestly see people driving a bunch of these on the streets? what happens when the newspaper headline is "Man dies in Uno Bike Collision" and then you got politicians jumping on this

  • @alvarez4500 i see what you are saying but the world is just personal preferences, because when i first saw this a long time ago i am someone to buy one of these. | also showed me friends and family and they too agreed with me

  • @alvarez4500 they wont sell these in north america, and thats not the point, it will be sold in asia and europe where there are larger crowds and narrower streets and people needs to get around without passengers

  • @GiveBlood88 The Uno Bike would be great for cities like Toronto, Vancouver, New York, Tokyo etc..

  • @alvarez4500 At 15 mph? That's gotta be a really unlucky hit to kill someone at that speed.

  • @alvarez4500 I agree. The boy has a great personality! Along with that is brains. The bike does look a bit funny. I hate to say it but along with the great technology is that bad image it gives off.. If there was another idea to alter that image if might work.

  • @alvarez4500 People said the same thing about another scooter piece of junk that no one thought would be worth a damn.

    The Segway. And that thing has made it's investor's money back, easily.

  • @alvarez4500 Guess the difference here is that he's going to become a millionaire and you're not. The Bike looks like a motorcycle with one wheel, it runs on electricity, saving you a crapload of money on cash and trust me, in crowded regions in the world people will jump all over this invention. In Lebanon for instance there aren't any harshly enforced traffic laws so its a mess, especially in rush hour so a lot of people resort to motor scooters...this invention is pretty great.

  • @alvarez4500 people die riding motorcycles all the time, why would this be any different ?

  • @alvarez4500 I was reading the Popular Science article and they mentioned that with future models that they can go on highways. In which case I can see everyone wanting one.

  • @chefkoo Motorcycles are dangerous enough already.......

  • @alvarez4500 ur right i wouldnt never buy this thing anyway

  • @alvarez4500 then again, ther'es no difference between politicians and vultures they'll jump on anything they can get their claws into...twisting and turning to benifit their political agenda...

  • @alvarez4500 Thats why you are there and these multimillion dollar dragons are where they are. See the difference?

  • wow 19 years old, that kid just made a lot of money!

  • i hate his voice

  • LOL

    Mr. Lube

  • I heard that 4 out of the 5 dragons pulled out and only Brett is left. Anyone know what happened?

  • its a retarded product, that's why....

  • Where did you hear that?

  • National post article about Brett... "And what of Uno, the unicycle that runs on electricity from MIT student Ben Gulak and the biggest deal in Den history? On camera, all five dragons were in for $1.25-million (or $250,000 each) and a 20% stake.

    As it stands, Mr. Wilson is the last dragon standing, and feels it will likely close in the next two or three weeks. "Now it's just me and I'm in for $250,000."

  • Hmm I don't think that means all the other dragons pulled out....rather he's just the last one that needs to put in his money to close the deal.

  • When I read it I searched around and a few other sources, all said the same thing, the other 4 dropped out.

  • i would be in

    these people are gas lugging dragons.

  • i dont like motorcycles to begin with that said im out !!!

  • They are investing more in him than the bike I'd venture

  • what just happened? wtf

  • cool idea, will be interesting to see where it goes. I find it hard to see the advantage over an electric scooter, but it does have novelty value.

  • whatttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!

  • wow investing in this crap..

  • I agree, that was insane

  • I don't see massive amounts of these things being ridden on roads...

  • Neither do i

  • i dont like his idea and his bike at all. maybe buy one after 10 yrs....

  • That is actually disabled.

  • Do the Canadian dragons ever say no to bad business investments?

  • You should watch the show, its pretty crazy... If its a bad idea they tear the people to pieces.

  • Especially Kevin.

  • haha, the dragons got owned. that guy is laughing at them as they waste there money.

  • You've missed the point.

    It's a showpiece for technology, built to lure investors towards a high tech venture investment. It's not about the bike, its about the tech.

  • Just to let everyone know, they most likely did not end up doing the deal.

  • That was absolutely ludicrous. Did they miss what he said or what...the bike balances itself by speeding up and slowing down! Explain then how you would keep a constant speed or better yet how it would react to a sudden shift at 80 km/h.

    This will never, ever be big. Might have a small market in Japan, but in N.A./Europe forget it!

  • he just said it only goes 15km/hr.

  • it was 15 miles an hour

  • k they wasted money because who would ride a homosexual bike like that

  • I think it will take some adjustment, like learning how to ride a standard bicycle. However, the fact that it's electric and far less limited than the Segway transportation wise will play into its success. I for one would save up and buy one, it looks very nice.

  • he sounds like keanu reeves

  • the henry ford of motorcycles was and only will willie G davidson

  • That was a horrible deal. I've never seen any mode of transportation more dangerous in my life. Do these guys have any idea how insane city traffic is in densely populated cities like the ones they mentioned??

  • looks like a face plant waiting to happen

  • The dragons must be retarded...his machine is dangerous (far more than a normal motorbike), expensive, slow, and just really corny looking.

  • @Andyyyk47 agreed, seems they invested because he said he is also greedy.

  • @Andyyyk47 That's my initial impression, yes - I hope it evolves.

  • I think it's going to end up like the Segway. It is just a very expensive toy and as is with the way with toys, it won't last.

  • If S2000TypeRVTEC3 is correct about the UNO being a toy. I would Iike to infer then that all automobiles (including cars) are nothing more than expensive toys. Therefore I guess that says a lot about our current automobile industry, and that it won't last.

  • well the judges seemed pretty impressed

  • its a good idea, but 5 and a half thousand dollars? i can get a 2008 kawasaki Ninja for $3500... and in the markets he wants to target there are bikes for less than 1000 USD...

  • True not to mention that many people living in developing world cities can't afford a year's salary on a bike ;)
