Heavy Duty Electric Unicycle Maker Takes On Segway 93
formaggio writes "Designer Chris Hoffmann developed the Ryno, a heavy duty electric unicycle with a top speed of 25 mph, a range of up to 30 miles and an impressive 25-inch thick tire. The cost for a pre-production Ryno is a whopping $25,000, and Hoffmann already has five orders, but he expects the market model to cost about $3,500."

The Uno evolved into a transforming design, but the initial versions were almost identical to this newest effort.
At least the Uno solved the face-plant issue; At high speeds it transforms into a traditional 2 wheeled motorcycle form.
