'Gorilla Wheel' One-Wheel Self Balancing Electric Motorcycle When you think motorbike you probably imagine a shiny chrome beast from the iconic easy rider film or the silhouetted Japanese Superbikes that dominate the modern race circuit but today the word motorbike offers us a taste of the future, of clean transportation and rideables that embrace the future of technology and economy. Like something directly out of a Sci-Fi movie this One-Wheel Self Balancing Electric Motorcycle known as the 'Gorilla Wheel' is truly unique and takes electric rideables to a whole new level of cool. This transitional vehicle is equally at home in most places where pedestrians walk or cruising with its two wheel cousins in a cycle lane. As a personal mobility device it hits the optimum performance for journeys that are two far to walk to easily but not quite enough to justify getting in a car or waiting for a bus. With a 17 inch wheel and vacuum tire the ride sits about 27 inches of the ground astride a single motorbike sized wheel that is held upright by an American gyroscopic motor. Controlled by smart Japanese chips this intelligent rideable keeps an even balance between front and rear as the rider steadies the one wheeled motorbike with the simple balance of their body, just as they would on a regular bicycle. By leaning forward you can accelerate the bike and to decelerate you simply lean backwards. This controls the propulsion of the bike while handlebars help you stay balanced as well as give the required poise for you to steer from left to right, which is done by genteelly leaning in either direction and twisting a little. With a 500W motor and powerful 60V Samsung lithium battery this stylish one wheeled rideable can hit speeds of up to 35km/h. Depending on the surface type and riding conditions it has a range of some 35km so you can easily get around town and even travel a respectable distance before the 360Wh battery needs recharging, which takes approximately 90
