The SBU is an electric self-balancing unicycle which uses accelerometers and gyroscopes to control the forward and backward movement with an electric motor. Basically, it pedals for you. It's an experience like no other. They're in limited market testing right now, go to focusdesigns.com for availability.

  • You know what would be even cooler than trying to make even more Americans fat, lazy dorks? Adding all the other things I hate to it:

    - A REALLY loud horn

    - Golf

    - Frisbee

    Here goes...Fat lazy asshole air horn disc golf! Yesss.

    Make sure it's urban so I cannot escape it. And use up some really nice park space or, better yet, some existing bike trails! Oh man, I am really onto something.

    Can't wait!!!

  • If you're gonna hate, at least make it funny.

  • i love the music choice! What is it?

  • How well does it work on rough surfaces?

  • It works great anywhere you would ride a conventional unicycle. I ride mine on sidewalks, bike lanes and grass if I'm careful.

  • I was actually kind of surprised that they were only $1500. I saw a guy a while back that built one of these himself, and posted everything he used, and the total for that was also $1500. I figure they could get the parts a little cheaper if they buy in bulk, but they still can't be making a ton of money on these, which means they get my respect for not charging over twice what it costs to build, like Segway does.

  • Responsive company. A VERY good sign!

  • all for only 1499............. id buy a titanium nimbus street before that thing..........

  • Don't buy this and save yourself from looking like a complete retard :D

  • Is it motorized?

  • B.C Comics.

  • Im sorry but I could have looked more graceful on my STANDARD unicycle, this just defeats the purpose of the unicycle...

  • isnt a self balancing unicycle kind of defeting the fact that a ulicycle is a skill of balance on the riders sake not the tech?
