Think you're real tough, riding around on that street bike of yours, popping wheelies and showing off? Try scooting around on this Bombardier Embrio, a combination of motorcycle and unicycle, letting you show off that remarkable balance all the time. A conceptual vehicle powered by a fuel cell and therefore emitting only water as a byproduct, the Embrio was designed to look into the future of transport circa 2025. I'm not sure if drivers will be a lot more ballsy by then or what, because I can't imagine a lot of people lining up to zip around on a unicycle at 70 mph. It does use gyroscopic technology to help you keep your balance, but I'm still not all that confident. That dinky front wheel is just there for when you need to stop or go very slowly, not for when you get scared on the highway. In any case, as I said it's conceptual, so you won't need to worry about getting dared to ride it on I-90.

Give me one of these, a 1/4 mile tight-rope, and a clown with an umbrella; and I'll give you one hell of a show!

It looks really cool! But in reality if you hit a pothole with thing...WELL....It sure is going to keep the street sweepers busy!

Reminds me of an "Old School" Biker joke:" What's the last thing that passes through a bug's mind when he SMACKS the windshield? HIS ASS!!!!!!!

Reminds me of a cartoon from the 80'2 called Spiral Zone. I'd get one of these for that reason alone.
Now they just need to invent the helmets from M.A.S.K. and a working lightsaber.
