    Yeah, I read about that a few weeks ago. I still can't decide if I think they're dorky or not, but I sure want to try one. And I'd love to mod one to make it look like Yoshi from Mario Bros.

    10 miles of range at 10MPH. Basically it's good for inner city transport, if you live close enough to where you're going to ride a bicycle.

    If you live close enough to where you're going to ride a bicycle.....ride a bicycle, it's faster.

    Now...if the RYNO had a 50cc 2 stroke........

    Before eliminating one wheel and riding a powered unicycle, ... I'd much rather ADD a third wheel and pilot a trike like the Can-Am Spyder.

    That skimpy crash bar, on the front of that Ryno, might protect the handlebars in a crash. But, ... it ain't going to do nothing from preventing you from a face-plant.

    With two or three wheels you get a shot at regaining control before your face meets the blacktop.

    You bump a curb on that thing, ... you're going down!

    I figured there wouldn't be any range or speed...

    Segway probably has a longer battery life.

    I thought it was funny.

    50cc 2 stroke could be fun.

    Not likely, it's balanced via gyroscope. A 10 mph crash will probalby end by stepping off the thing and walking away as if you meant to do that.

    The "crash guard" isn't...it's a parking stand.

    The Sedgeway also had a gyroscope but managed to fall over a couple times.
    Like you mentioned, I'd rather have a bicycle. Cheaper too.
