Yesterday We Posted About A One Wheeled Electric Cycle,

well here is another one,


the Urban Glider uses a gyroscopically-stabilised electric mono-wheel to help you stay upright as you stand on footplates straddling the sides of a central 16-inch wheel,



 leaning back lets you slow, stop or reverse while leaning forward engages the engine in that direction, and tilting to either side allows you to turn using intuitive movements,

hopping from the glider to other transit is also simple, since you can carry the 24-pound vehicle onto buses, trains or planes, with a top speed of around 13 miles per hour, the battery is designed to last for up to 6 hours of use and can be charged in last than 30 minutes, currently, crowdfunding on Kickstarter is paused but the company seems adamant about making a go of this personal vehicle one way or another, the Urban Glider is set to retail for $1200, it seems that walking is going out of fashion.
