Clever indeed.   :y 

Must be big gyro's inside there somewhere!

10 mins use then a 24 hour recharge?

Very clever.  I think this (http://www.bikebiz.com/news/32239/Volkswagen-reveals-e-bike-concept) is probably more useful though.

I could see that being very useful to get back from the Frog and Duck after 12 pints of Marstons finest Pedigree. Does it have Sat Nav? ;D ;D ;D ;D

What a clever little machine! 8-) 8-)

I would love one of those going around Sainsbury's :D :D
I understand the charge will last 1 hour, so that should be long enough to get around that supermarket! 8-) 8-) ;)

So are you hoping it can push a trolley, or balance with a basket of veg on your arm???? :-[

It would be interesting to see how it copes with a C of G that is not central.

I reckon you could just take the ruddy great gyro out of it and strap it on your back, though. Would be impossible to fall over. :y

I think we need one for testing at the Lakes meet. People have been known to become vertically challenged there.  ::)

That is what I was thinking Chris! ;D ;D

However I hope I will not need one of them for many, many years to come, and then it will be my type of zimmer frame :D :D :D
